Joyce stock heads into the post result trade around A$6.50 after a solid year where the price has edged higher rather than racing away. The fundamental story is louder than the share move.

A high share of earnings is non cash, which raises questions about how much of this headline result...

Austal stock came into this result on a 30 day rise of about 14.7%, with the market leaning toward a recovery story. The FY26 headline did not back that up at group level. Revenue for the year sat at about A$2.0b, yet the company reported a group earnings loss, driven by a sizeable one off accounting hit in the U.S. operations. The real swing factor this time is not revenue growth. It is the earnings squeeze that turned trailing 12 month profit into a loss of about A$53.6m. The rest of the...
