Investors came into Growthpoint Properties Australia with the stock drifting over the past week and quarter. Yet the latest move now hinges on one question: is the price really reflecting what just happened to cash earnings? The headline is simple.

The market now has to decide whether steady...

Iress walked into this result with the stock up roughly 21% over three months and a modest 30 day gain, yet shares now sit at A$6.99 after a weak week. The mood has cooled just as the numbers highlight something different. The real headline is margins. Cash earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation jumped to a 24.5% margin in H1, while guidance points to higher full year cash EBITDA and underlying profit after tax. Investors considering the valuation discount and trailing...

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.

That is a solid result for a bricks and mortar electronics retailer in a slow growth setting, and it sharpens the question of whether the recent share price slide reflects genuine concern or a mood...

FSA Group slipped into this result with the stock roughly flat over the past week and only a modest gain over three months, which signals a market still undecided on the story. The earnings headline is blunt. Profit growth over the last year sits beside a sharp squeeze in net profit margin to 11.3%. That margin pressure, combined with a 5.53% dividend yield that is not well covered by earnings, is forcing investors to question whether today’s share price around A$1.27 reflects healthy income...
