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.

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.

Revenue landed at A$1.93b and net profit after tax was A$525.8m, both supported by a 59% underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation margin. For a company that was loss making on a trailing basis in recent years, this swing into solid...
