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...
