SEEK's share price has been volatile around these results, with a 1 day share price return of 9.13% after the announcement, yet a year to date share price return that is...

ANZ Group Holdings reported unaudited third-quarter 2026 results on 13 August, posting A$1.90 billion in cash profit and A$1.95 billion in statutory profit, with returns affected by a New Zealand class action provision and softer mortgage activity. Despite a A$125 million New Zealand provision and weaker home-loan flows, ANZ still lifted cash profit year on year while growing business and private banking. We’ll now examine how ANZ’s steady cash profit growth and productivity improvements...

Just because a business does not make any money, does not mean that the stock will go down. By way of example, Cauldron...

Telstra Group Limited ( ASX:TLS ) just released its latest yearly report and things are not looking great. Telstra...

Aeris Resources Limited recently issued group production guidance for fiscal 2027, forecasting broadly similar copper, gold and silver output to 2026 while flagging materially higher growth capital for the Constellation development, reduced care-and-maintenance costs at Jaguar and increased exploration spending across its operating assets. Shortly after releasing this guidance, Executive Chairman Andre Labuschagne presented at the Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum in Kalgoorlie, giving...

See our latest analysis for AGL Energy. AGL Energy's share price has risen 7.3% over the past 30 days and 7.2% over the last week, while the year-to-date share price return is down 5.5% and the 1 year total shareholder return is 6.8%. This points to improving short term momentum following...

Life360 earnings and guidance draw fresh attention Life360 (ASX:360) is back in focus after its 10 August 2026 second quarter results and a decision to reiterate full year 2026 revenue guidance in the range of US$650 million to US$685 million. See our latest analysis for Life360. Life360's share price has been volatile around these results, with the stock down 17.58% on a 7 day share price return and 27.48% lower year to date.

In August 2026, Pro Medicus announced it had secured a 7-year, A$23,000,000 contract with St. Luke’s Health System to deploy its cloud-based Visage 7 enterprise imaging platform across three US states, covering both Visage 7 Viewer and Visage 7 Workflow. An interesting element of this deal is its transaction-based licensing model, which ties Pro Medicus’s revenue to actual imaging usage and creates scope for scalable income over the contract term. We’ll now explore how this long-term,...

HomeCo Daily Needs REIT walked into this result with a stock that has drifted lower for months, down about 7% over 90 days, and yet just printed full year funds from operations of A$187.1m at A$0.09 per unit and kept distributions at A$0.086. The price now sits at A$1.155, well beneath reported net tangible assets of A$1.56 per unit. The market is still treating this like a yield product with perceived balance sheet risk, while the latest earnings headline is really about that widening gap...

FINEOS Corporation Holdings closed at A$2.25 on Friday, capping a choppy three months where the stock slipped about 14% even as the last week and month both showed double digit rebounds. The market has been wrestling with one thing above all else: a high growth software stock on a triple digit trailing P/E now has to prove its earnings power is real, not just promised. The headline from this earnings release is that profit has arrived. FINEOS delivered positive net income of €1.9m for the...

ASX heads into the post result trade with its stock around A$58, priced for quality yet facing a sentiment check. The headline is not revenue or earnings growth. It is the squeeze on profitability. Trailing net profit margin has slipped to 38.4% from 45% a year earlier while expenses are running hard to fund technology and regulatory commitments. The market now has to decide whether today’s muted share price grind higher over the past month reflects calm judgment or investors looking past a...

The market has spent the past week edging Charter Hall Long WALE REIT lower, with the stock down about 6.8% over seven days, yet the latest earnings suggest a very different story. The headline is income reliability. Operating earnings and distributions of A$0.255 per security were in line with guidance, and the net tangible asset backing nudged up to A$4.71 per security compared with a A$3.58 share price. For a long lease real estate investment trust, that gap between steady cash payouts and...

Transurban Group stock has drifted lower in recent weeks, with the share price down about 4% over the past month and closing at A$13.96 today. The latest earnings story is less about traffic volumes and more about the cost of carrying its toll road debt. On the surface the company posted solid operating metrics, including a 9.4% net profit margin, but a P/E of 119x paired with weak interest coverage keeps the balance sheet firmly in focus. For long term holders the key question is how that...

Orora entered this earnings season priced like a problem stock, with the shares around A$1.51 and the market already discounting its packaging business through a low price to sales ratio. The headline from these results is not revenue; it is the size of the earnings hit. Management reported a full year loss from continuing operations of A$616.6 million and a basic loss per share of A$0.50 on a trailing 12 month view. For a company still paying a 5.32% dividend yield, that loss is hard to...

Origin Energy stock closed at A$12.07 on Friday, sitting on solid short term gains after a strong run into the FY26 result. The market has been treating Origin Energy as a value play with a modest growth story. The latest earnings put hard numbers around that view. The headline is earnings power. Trailing net profit margin sits at 10.1% with underlying profit for FY26 at A$1.159b and group underlying EBITDA at A$3.22b. Yet the stock still trades on a P/E of 13.2x, which is below both industry...

Treasury Wine Estates came into this result on a tear, with the stock up about 39% over the past three months and closing at A$5.91 today. The market has been treating it as a beaten down turnaround story. The headline from these earnings is more complicated. Reported earnings per share for the full year were in loss territory and statutory net profit after tax was close to break even once more than A$1.3b of material charges were stripped out. For investors, the core tension is clear. The...

Bell Financial Group shares closed at A$1.51 on Friday, broadly flat over the past week, which suggests the market is still weighing what these results really mean. The headline this half is profit quality. Net profit margin for the trailing twelve months sits at 15% compared with 9.9% a year earlier, even as revenue sits at A$322.739m. That mix of stronger profitability and a trailing P/E of 10x against much higher sector multiples puts the question back on you as an investor. Are you...

Last month, global equity manager GQG Partners saw investor withdrawals of about US$6.4 billion, even as its flagship Global Equity Fund outperformed benchmarks and the firm’s funds under management edged up to US$156.40 billion. This tension between strong recent performance, vocal scepticism of the artificial intelligence trade by CIO Rajiv Jain, and persistent outflows highlights growing investor unease with GQG’s positioning. We’ll now explore how these continued outflows, despite...

Premier Investments has closed all three Peter Alexander stores in the UK after less than two years, citing weak consumer spending and a soft economic outlook, while retaining online sales to British customers. The company is using the exit to reallocate capital and management attention toward Australia and New Zealand, where Peter Alexander is described as performing more strongly and is also exploring new international wholesale channels. Next, we will examine how this refocus on stronger...

The Australian market is experiencing some fluctuations, with the S&P/ASX 200 recently dipping by 0.23%, while Wall Street continues to show strength with record highs. In this context, penny stocks remain a compelling area of interest for investors seeking opportunities in smaller or less-established companies. Despite their vintage name, these stocks can offer significant value when they possess strong financials and growth potential, making them worth considering for those looking to...

National Australia Bank has recently announced extensive Executive Leadership Team changes, including the planned retirements of senior operations and technology leaders, expanded responsibilities for technology and transformation executives, and the scheduled appointment of former Queensland Premier Anna Bligh AC to its Board following regulatory approval. Together, these moves signal a clear emphasis on technology, AI and governance expertise at the top of the organisation, reshaping how...

There's no doubt that money can be made by owning shares of unprofitable businesses. For example, although...

ASX Limited reported full-year 2026 results showing revenue rising to A$1,262.1 million from A$1,117.0 million, while net income eased to A$484.9 million from A$502.6 million and basic earnings per share from continuing operations slipped to A$2.493 from A$2.591. Despite record volumes and revenue growth across all four business segments, higher expenses tied to the ASIC inquiry, a A$150 million capital charge and a credit rating downgrade weighed on overall profitability. We’ll now explore...

Origin Energy Limited has released its full-year results for the 12 months to June 30, 2026, reporting sales of A$15,569 million, net income of A$1.57 billion and basic earnings per share from continuing operations of A$0.915. While revenue eased compared with the prior year, higher statutory profit, improved Energy Markets EBITDA and reduced customer servicing costs point to meaningful operational gains across Origin’s core and emerging businesses. We’ll now explore how this earnings...
