Fiducian Group stock closed at A$8.71 on 17 August, roughly flat over the past month, yet the latest full year numbers tell a more uncomfortable story for a business often viewed as a steady wealth manager.

The market now has to decide whether steady...

The market has cooled on JB Hi-Fi in recent weeks, with the stock down double digits over the past month. Yet the latest full year earnings land with a very different tone.
