Betmakers Technology Group went into this result with the stock at A$0.21, up strongly over the past month but softer in the last week. That price move suggests optimism has been building. The numbers now force a sharper focus on the main strain in the story. The company is still loss making on a trailing basis, with earnings from continuing operations of A$5.2 million in the red. The headline this time is simple. Revenue in the wagering technology business is holding near A$92.6 million, yet...

TerraCom’s share price closed at A$0.069 after a weak week for the stock, yet the real story sits in the earnings hit to profitability. The headline is simple. Revenue in the latest half stayed in the tens of millions, but the company still posted a net loss of over A$30 million and remained unprofitable over the past year. The market is treating TerraCom like a distressed asset on a cheap P/S multiple. The key question now is whether that discount reflects the ongoing loss profile or whether...

Grange Resources came into this result as a deeply out of favour iron ore producer, with the stock down roughly 16% over the past three months and trading on a low P/S multiple. The headline from this half is a brutal profit squeeze. Revenue for H1 2026 was A$230.8m, while the company reported a net loss of A$541.8m and basic earnings per share loss of A$0.47. The share price finished at A$0.135 after the release, which leaves investors weighing a harsh earnings reset against an already...

Total shareholder return over five years is 14.6%, pointing to steadier...

Star Entertainment Group went into this result priced like a deeply wounded turnaround story, with the stock closing at A$0.125 and trading on a low price to sales multiple against Australian hospitality peers. The headline from the earnings is not revenue, which sits around A$1.3b over the last twelve months. The story is the persistent losses, with earnings from continuing operations running into the hundreds of millions in the red and recent shareholder dilution still fresh in investors...

Orthocell stock came into the FY 2026 result under pressure, down over the past week even after a modest 30 day gain, as investors weighed a rich valuation for an unprofitable biotech. The headline from this earnings release is not the top line. It is the size of the loss investors are still being asked to carry. Management reported trailing twelve month revenue of A$11.4m, yet a loss from continuing operations of A$13.9m. For a stock trading on a P/S ratio above both its industry and peer...

Polymetals Resources stock has cooled off after a strong 30-day run of about 24%, closing at A$0.985. Yet the real story sits inside a miner that is now producing meaningful revenue while still carrying heavy losses. The headline this season is margin strain. For the full year, Polymetals booked about A$100.3 million in revenue on a trailing 12 month basis, but also reported a loss from continuing operations of about A$47.0 million. Short term traders are reacting to the share price swing,...

Kina Securities entered this result with its stock drifting, down about 11% over three months and closing at A$1.195 on 1 September. The earnings print told a calmer story. Net income for the half year came in at PGK 59.7m and earnings per share were PGK 0.203, both quietly ahead of the prior half. The real headline sat on the balance sheet. A PGK 235m Tier 2 bond lifted total capital adequacy to 26%, a sizeable cushion that contrasts with the recent share price softness. Is Kina Securities a...

This renewed focus comes as investors weigh Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s large retail banking franchise, its capital management approach, and how the current valuation aligns with...

Black Cat Syndicate entered this result as a high growth gold producer trading on a single digit P/E, with a stock price of A$1.13 that had fallen about 2% over the past week. The headline today is not the share price. It is the shift from small explorer to cash generating producer, with A$374.3m in trailing twelve month revenue and A$86.5m in net income from continuing operations. The core story is profitability. The latest half delivered basic earnings per share of A$0.0718. This puts real...

Praemium walked into this result with the stock down about 10% over the past week and month, and trading at A$0.65, even as investors debated whether its rich P/E and platform story were still worth backing. The headline from these earnings is margin pressure. Net profit margin over the past 12 months sat at 5.7% compared with 13.2% a year earlier, as a A$9.3m one off loss cut into reported profit and left the dividend only weakly covered by free cash flow. Love the Praemium platform story...

The 36.97% year to date share price return points to sustained positive momentum, reflected in a...
