ANZ Group Holdings reported unaudited third-quarter 2026 results on 13 August, posting A$1.90 billion in cash profit and A$1.95 billion in statutory profit, with returns affected by a New Zealand class action provision and softer mortgage activity. Despite a A$125 million New Zealand provision and weaker home-loan flows, ANZ still lifted cash profit year on year while growing business and private banking. We’ll now examine how ANZ’s steady cash profit growth and productivity improvements...

Aeris Resources Limited recently issued group production guidance for fiscal 2027, forecasting broadly similar copper, gold and silver output to 2026 while flagging materially higher growth capital for the Constellation development, reduced care-and-maintenance costs at Jaguar and increased exploration spending across its operating assets. Shortly after releasing this guidance, Executive Chairman Andre Labuschagne presented at the Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum in Kalgoorlie, giving...

This points to improving short term momentum following...

In August 2026, Pro Medicus announced it had secured a 7-year, A$23,000,000 contract with St. Luke’s Health System to deploy its cloud-based Visage 7 enterprise imaging platform across three US states, covering both Visage 7 Viewer and Visage 7 Workflow. An interesting element of this deal is its transaction-based licensing model, which ties Pro Medicus’s revenue to actual imaging usage and creates scope for scalable income over the contract term. We’ll now explore how this long-term,...

HomeCo Daily Needs REIT walked into this result with a stock that has drifted lower for months, down about 7% over 90 days, and yet just printed full year funds from operations of A$187.1m at A$0.09 per unit and kept distributions at A$0.086. The price now sits at A$1.155, well beneath reported net tangible assets of A$1.56 per unit. The market is still treating this like a yield product with perceived balance sheet risk, while the latest earnings headline is really about that widening gap...

FINEOS Corporation Holdings closed at A$2.25 on Friday, capping a choppy three months where the stock slipped about 14% even as the last week and month both showed double digit rebounds. The market has been wrestling with one thing above all else: a high growth software stock on a triple digit trailing P/E now has to prove its earnings power is real, not just promised. The headline from this earnings release is that profit has arrived. FINEOS delivered positive net income of €1.9m for the...

ASX heads into the post result trade with its stock around A$58, priced for quality yet facing a sentiment check. The headline is not revenue or earnings growth. It is the squeeze on profitability. Trailing net profit margin has slipped to 38.4% from 45% a year earlier while expenses are running hard to fund technology and regulatory commitments. The market now has to decide whether today’s muted share price grind higher over the past month reflects calm judgment or investors looking past a...

The market has spent the past week edging Charter Hall Long WALE REIT lower, with the stock down about 6.8% over seven days, yet the latest earnings suggest a very different story. The headline is income reliability. Operating earnings and distributions of A$0.255 per security were in line with guidance, and the net tangible asset backing nudged up to A$4.71 per security compared with a A$3.58 share price. For a long lease real estate investment trust, that gap between steady cash payouts and...

Transurban Group stock has drifted lower in recent weeks, with the share price down about 4% over the past month and closing at A$13.96 today. The latest earnings story is less about traffic volumes and more about the cost of carrying its toll road debt. On the surface the company posted solid operating metrics, including a 9.4% net profit margin, but a P/E of 119x paired with weak interest coverage keeps the balance sheet firmly in focus. For long term holders the key question is how that...

Orora entered this earnings season priced like a problem stock, with the shares around A$1.51 and the market already discounting its packaging business through a low price to sales ratio. The headline from these results is not revenue; it is the size of the earnings hit. Management reported a full year loss from continuing operations of A$616.6 million and a basic loss per share of A$0.50 on a trailing 12 month view. For a company still paying a 5.32% dividend yield, that loss is hard to...

Origin Energy stock closed at A$12.07 on Friday, sitting on solid short term gains after a strong run into the FY26 result. The market has been treating Origin Energy as a value play with a modest growth story. The latest earnings put hard numbers around that view. The headline is earnings power. Trailing net profit margin sits at 10.1% with underlying profit for FY26 at A$1.159b and group underlying EBITDA at A$3.22b. Yet the stock still trades on a P/E of 13.2x, which is below both industry...

Treasury Wine Estates came into this result on a tear, with the stock up about 39% over the past three months and closing at A$5.91 today. The market has been treating it as a beaten down turnaround story. The headline from these earnings is more complicated. Reported earnings per share for the full year were in loss territory and statutory net profit after tax was close to break even once more than A$1.3b of material charges were stripped out. For investors, the core tension is clear. The...

Bell Financial Group shares closed at A$1.51 on Friday, broadly flat over the past week, which suggests the market is still weighing what these results really mean. The headline this half is profit quality. Net profit margin for the trailing twelve months sits at 15% compared with 9.9% a year earlier, even as revenue sits at A$322.739m. That mix of stronger profitability and a trailing P/E of 10x against much higher sector multiples puts the question back on you as an investor. Are you...
