At its recent FY2026 AGM, Champion Iron shareholders adopted the remuneration report but more than 25% voted against it, triggering a second strike under Australian corporate law, while all board-nominated directors were elected and growth initiatives such as the Kami project and higher-grade pellet feed advanced. This rare second strike highlights growing shareholder unease with executive pay and governance at the same time the company is pursuing capital-intensive expansion and...

OM Holdings stock closed at A$0.205 on 28 August after a tough few months, with the price down over the past week, month and quarter. The market is reacting to a familiar headline. Revenue for H1 2026 came in at US$265.234 million and the company booked a net loss from continuing operations on a trailing 12 month view. For investors, the key issue is the margin and profit squeeze that now stretches across multiple half year periods. OM Holdings is still loss making, and that longer running...

PRL Global entered this result with the stock at A$1.42 and a strong short-term run, yet the headline today is not the share price. It is the squeeze on profitability. Full-year revenue sits above A$2.2b, but net profit margin over the last year is only 0.6% and edging lower compared with 0.7% a year earlier. The market is reacting to a low-margin story sitting on top of a high dividend yield of 6.34% that is not well covered by earnings or free cash flow. Is PRL Global a genuine value...

Endeavour Group (ASX:EDV) is back in focus after reporting full year net income of A$52 million, down sharply from A$426 million a year earlier, alongside a reduced fully franked dividend. Endeavour Group’s A$3.11 share price reflects a market that has been adjusting to weaker earnings, a reduced dividend and recent CFO transition news, with the stock down over the year to date and over the past year on a total shareholder return basis despite a positive 90 day share price return. Compare...

Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals closed at A$8.47 after a weak few months for the stock, with the share price down over the past week, month and quarter. Yet the latest full year numbers tell a calmer story. The company delivered around A$94.0m in trailing twelve month revenue with a net profit margin near 36%. That kind of profitability is unusual in biotech and underpins a trailing P/E of 12.6x that sits well below peers. For long term holders, the key point is that this remains a highly...
