Endeavour Group (ASX:EDV) Shares Confront A Brutal Margin Squeeze

Endeavour Group walked into this result under pressure. The stock is down about 8% over the past week and around 4% over the past month, even with a small gain over 90 days.

Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) Shares Rebound On Profit Surge But Expansion Questions Linger

PLS Group came into these results as a high growth lithium stock with a mixed track record and a share price that had climbed 32% over the past month.
