Energy Resources of Australia stock has been stuck at A$0.002 and flat over the past month, yet the latest half year numbers present a much harsher reality. The uranium producer booked a net loss of A$214.08 million in H1 2026 on revenue of only A$25.04 million, which keeps attention on survival rather than growth.

The market walked into MGX Resources’ full year numbers with the stock at A$0.365 and a gentle rise over the past month, pricing in a clean transition story rather than fireworks. The headline instead was a sharp accounting reality check. MGX reported revenue of A$204m but finished the year with a net loss after tax of A$30.2m driven by A$58.9m of impairments on Koolan Island. Investors now need to decide whether today’s price reflects that loss or the A$412.1m cash and investments that still...

The real story is not the one year loss of A$13.8m after a goodwill impairment. It is the A$105.3m in underlying earnings before interest and tax and the gap between the A$0.73 share price...
