Australian Auto Stock News

The Australian dollar’s jump to around US$0.71, softer expectations for more RBA rate hikes and weaker signals from China have put export exposed industrials and manufacturers under a fresh spotlight. Currency moves can quickly change which stocks feel pressure and which enjoy a tailwind, so it pays to know who sits where. This article walks through three ASX exporters that appear most exposed to the latest FX and macro shifts. The three stocks below are a useful starting sample, but the full...

Global sovereign bond yields are climbing as inflation worries link back to stubborn energy prices. When borrowing costs keep edging higher, heavily indebted penny stocks can struggle to fund their plans. That is where Elite Penny Stocks come in. This screener focuses on balance sheet strength, so you can look for companies with more cash runway. This article highlights three of the most notable candidates. The stocks covered below are just a sample, and the full Elite Penny Stocks screen...

National Australia Bank stock closed at A$39.20 after the market absorbed its Q3 print, with recent 7 day and 30 day returns both in the red. The headline story is not the share price; it is a solid A$0.59 in basic earnings per share for the quarter and a net interest margin holding around 1.79% in a competitive lending market. For long term investors, the focus now shifts to whether a trailing 12 month P/E near 19.8x and a 4.34% dividend yield can stay supported if margins remain under...

HUB24 just put strong numbers on the table while its stock has sagged in recent weeks, with the share price down about 11% over 7 days and 4% over 30 days into this result. That mismatch between mood and math is the real story today. The headline is simple. The platform group delivered A$496.9m in trailing twelve month revenue and A$120.2m in net income, with earnings per share of A$1.47. The market is paying a rich 54.4x P/E, so every line of this earnings release now matters for how long...

BlueScope Steel walked into this result with the stock drifting over the past week and month, yet the business just printed an earnings profile that looks far more resilient than the share price suggests. The stock closed at A$31.50, with the 7 day return down about 9.8%, while underlying net profit after tax landed just over A$800m and underlying earnings before interest and tax reached A$1.27b. The real headline is profit quality. Net profit margin sits at 4.8% over the last year, a sharp...

BHP Group stock went into this earnings print priced for optimism, trading at a P/E of 23.4x against a lower Australian metals and mining average, and yet the share price eased slightly with a 7 day return that slipped about 0.1%. The headline from the results is simple: profitability is steady rather than spectacular, with trailing net margin at 16.6% and only a modest dip from 17.6%, while the current share price of A$63.85 still sits above a discounted cash flow estimate of A$52.90. Love...

The market barely flinched at Deterra Royalties today. The stock closed at A$4.35, roughly flat against its own discounted cash flow estimate, even as the company reported A$164m in net profit after tax and a trailing net profit margin of 67.7%. That is a rich royalty cash engine being priced as if nothing changed. The real tension for investors sits in the gap between that high margin reality and forecasts that point to declining revenue and earnings over the next few years. Today’s muted...

Amplitude Energy stock closed at A$1.645 after the market had a full day to digest a headline year of record production and record revenue, but also a sharp statutory loss. The short term story is simple. Operationally the company delivered higher output and low unit costs, yet a write off near A$100m turned the income statement deep red. For long term investors the real pivot is not today’s loss. It is whether record underlying EBITDAX of about A$191.8m and strong cash generation can support...

Lendlease Group heads into this earnings season with the stock around A$2.80, after a weak few months that have left many investors focused on short term pain. The headline from the full year result is not the share price. It is the depth of the earnings loss, with trailing 12 month net income from continuing operations in the red and interest costs poorly covered. For a capital heavy property and infrastructure group, that balance sheet strain is the key issue to monitor. The share price now...

GPT Group entered this result with a stock that has slipped in recent weeks, down about 8% over seven days and slightly weaker over the past month, despite trading on what looks like a discounted P/E multiple. The earnings headline is simple. The engine that matters for a real estate investment trust, funds from operations, came in at A$338.8m for the half and management kept full year funds from operations and distribution guidance intact. The market reaction now hinges on whether investors...

SKS Technologies Group shares have barely moved over the past week, despite the company delivering one of the punchiest earnings headlines on the local market. Profit for the year nearly doubled, while revenue pushed above A$350m and net profit margin sat at 7.7%. The stock now trades on a P/E of 36.8x, a premium to peers. This suggests investors were already paying up for growth. The key question is whether this earnings step change and the swelling data centre pipeline justify that premium,...

Australian Clinical Labs came into this result on a strong run, with the stock up about 48% over three months and closing at A$2.84 on 18 August. The market has been treating it as a recovery story. The earnings print instead tells a more nuanced tale. Underlying EBIT margin held near 9.4% in a soft pathology market, supported by A$64.7m in free cash flow and a 25.2% return on invested capital. At the same time, reported profit reflected the impact of a A$14.1m one off loss and a dividend...

Telstra Group earnings and dividend move come into focus Telstra Group (ASX:TLS) has drawn attention after reporting full year 2026 results that showed slightly lower sales and revenue, higher net income, and a higher dividend payout compared with the prior year. See our latest analysis for Telstra Group. Despite the stronger full year earnings and higher dividend, Telstra Group’s share price has been under pressure, with the stock down 5.95% on a 1 month share price return basis and 13.66%...

Beach Energy (ASX:BPT) has just delivered a busy August update, combining full year 2026 earnings, a sharp Western Flank production decline linked to flooding and field maturity, new production guidance, and a reduced dividend. See our latest analysis for Beach Energy. The recent earnings swing back to profit, production guidance and dividend cut have coincided with a 1 day share price return of 3.43% and a 7 day share price return of 4.02% for Beach Energy. However, the 1 year total...

SRG Global shareholders walked into this result already sitting on strong momentum, with the stock up about 33% over the past three months and closing at A$3.96 on 18 August. The question today is whether the earnings justify that confidence or simply front run it. The headline is clear for an infrastructure services stock: record FY26 profit with basic earnings per share of A$0.138 and net profit margins around 4.3% capped off a year of solid earnings quality and cash generation. The market...

Brent crude trading above $90 a barrel, rising geopolitical risk premia and fresh disruption signals from the Strait of Hormuz have pushed global energy back into the spotlight. Price swings in oil and gas do not just affect fuel bills; they can quickly reshape the outlook for large integrated producers and income focused portfolios. This article walks through 3 stocks from our Global Energy Stocks screener that appear positively exposed to the latest headlines. The three stocks covered below...

Macmahon Holdings stock closed at A$0.905 on Monday, leaving short term traders nursing a 7.7% slip over the past week even though the latest result landed with record heft. The headline is simple. The mining contractor delivered about A$2.6b in revenue and underlying earnings before interest, tax and amortisation of A$190.1m, with margins a touch higher and returns on capital at 22%. For investors thinking beyond today’s red screen, the focus now shifts to how that earnings engine and a...

Sims walked into this result with a stock that has drifted, down about 13% over the past week and 7% over the past month, even though the 90 day return is slightly positive. The market has been treating recent strength as fragile. The earnings print has now forced a reassessment. The headline is simple. Underlying earnings before interest and tax jumped to A$468 million and return on invested capital rose to 11.7%, while the group stayed free cash flow positive and paid a fully franked A$0.34...

Aurizon Holdings stock has been under quiet pressure, with the share price down about 14% over the past month and past quarter, yet today’s full year numbers tell a more confident story. Underlying net profit after tax rose to A$433 million and earnings per share climbed 29%, powered by a 9% lift in underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. Management backed that up with a sharply higher full year dividend and a completed A$250 million buyback. For a capital...

Audinate Group went into this earnings print with the stock up sharply over the past month and quarter, yet still trading at A$2.45, well under one prominent discounted cash flow estimate. The headline from the results is not the top line. It is the deepening full year loss, with trailing twelve month earnings from continuing operations down A$19.6m, as management leans hard into investment. For you as an investor, the tension is clear. Strong gross margins near 82% and a solid A$65m cash...

CSL stock went into this result having climbed over the past quarter, closing at A$157.82, yet the latest numbers land with a jolt. The global biotech giant posted a trailing twelve month loss from continuing operations of US$2.99b on revenue of US$15.80b. That kind of earnings squeeze grabs short term traders by the throat. For long term investors, the real question now is how to weigh that loss against analyst forecasts that point to a return to profitability, as well as the current gap...

Cochlear stock has been on a tear, up about 49% over the past three months to A$141.20, yet the latest result landed with a thud on the income line. The headline is simple: revenue held above A$2.3b, but a large one off loss over the past year dragged reported earnings into the red and compressed net margins to 6.3% from 16.6%. Short term traders are reacting to that squeeze. Long term holders are weighing a P/E of 62.7x against earnings forecasts that still point to faster profit growth than...

Transurban Group (ASX:TCL) has come into focus after releasing full year 2026 results and issuing distribution guidance for fiscal 2027, alongside confirming a regular cash dividend with a June 29, 2026 ex dividend date. See our latest analysis for Transurban Group. Transurban Group's latest earnings and distribution guidance arrived after a period where the share price has eased, with a 30 day share price return down 5.31% and year to date down 1.90%. However, the 5 year total shareholder...
