November 2026

Anagenics has sold its haircare technology and évolis intellectual property to York St Brands for A$2.5 million upfront, while retaining exposure to future product sales through an eight-year earn-out. The deal follows the company’s first full-year profit and gives it more cash to simplify its portfolio.

Count Group (ASX:CUP) will acquire 75% of Skybridge Financial in its largest equity partnership investment to date, combining a regional accounting platform with $1.4 billion of funds under advice. The deal is being funded partly through a fully underwritten A$25 million placement and is expected to be mid to high single-digit EPS accretive in FY2027 before synergies.

Goodman Group and Digital Realty have sought to build a stake of up to 9.9% in NEXTDC at A$9.50 a share, just weeks after the data centre operator cut FY27 guidance. The pair say they do not currently intend to bid for control, but have kept that option open.

Neurizon says it has removed its remaining Obsidian convertible notes while targeting $6.3 million in new equity ahead of the pivotal NUZ-001 ALS readout. The funding plan reduces immediate conversion uncertainty, but the proposed Share Purchase Plan and possible future facility drawdown leave execution questions open.

Neuren has lifted its 2026 trofinetide income guidance to US$91 million-US$93 million after Acadia reported a 39% rise in Q3 DAYBUE sales and a US$35 million German launch milestone. Japan trial results also support a planned 2027 regulatory filing, although a launch remains subject to approval and a distribution partner.

Northstone Resources has secured an oversubscribed $2.37 million placement as its shares return to trading, funding a run of technical and drilling milestones in Serbia. The raise puts a maiden JORC resource estimate for the Tlamino gold-silver project in sharper focus, while also adding substantial option exposure to the capital structure.

Metal Powder Works has secured its first Zircaloy-4 orders from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the US Army Research Laboratory and an unnamed defence company. The immediate revenue is modest, but the evaluation work places MPW’s zirconium powders before strategically important US customers.

Horseshoe Metals has outlined a substantially larger conceptual open pit at Horseshoe Lights, containing 95,033 tonnes of copper under a A$25,000-per-tonne price assumption. The result supports further studies, but does not yet establish an Ore Reserve or a development case.

Southern Cross Media says FY26 earnings fell short of expectations and first-quarter FY27 revenue is lower year on year, despite growing audiences across television, audio and publishing. Management is pressing ahead with a $150 million cost reduction program and expects the group’s new operating shape to be visible by FY28.

Three historical stockpile samples from Narryer Metals’ Redhill Copper Project returned copper grades of up to 14.9%, alongside elevated silver and bismuth. The results strengthen the case for follow-up mapping and drilling, but do not yet demonstrate comparable grades in undisturbed mineralisation.

Eagers Automotive expects record 2026 revenue and underlying profit before tax, with continuing-operations revenue forecast at $17.3 billion to $17.5 billion. The upbeat outlook comes with a warning that higher rates, inflation and fuel costs are squeezing industry margins.

Crimson Australia has closed its takeover offer for Kip McGrath after securing a 93.88% relevant interest. The bidder has begun the compulsory acquisition process for the remaining shares, moving the education group toward full ownership.

Aldoro has signed an MOU that would give WILLETECH a 51% stake in the Kameelburg project company and put the Namibian rare earths project on a proposed path to commercial production. The headline RMB2 billion funding commitment remains non-binding, however, with definitive agreements, approvals and proof of financing still outstanding.

Fortescue has priced US$1.5 billion of six-year senior unsecured notes, then swapped the proceeds into a fixed offshore Renminbi liability at an effective rate of about 3.9%. The funds may support general corporate needs, including possible debt repayment.

Many Peaks Minerals has lifted the interim Ouarigue resource at its Ferké Gold Project to 2.077 million ounces, with deeper drilling adding a conceptual underground component. The upgrade strengthens the development case, but much of the growth remains Inferred and metallurgical work is unfinished.

DXN has told ASX that the intended cancellation of its A$8.8 million AI high-performance computing contract was price-sensitive information. The company expects to recover about A$4.2 million for work completed and committed costs, but has removed roughly A$8.6 million from its backlog and is still negotiating the termination agreement.

Toubani Resources has reported high-grade RC drilling at Kobada Main and Gosso in Mali, including a 55-metre interval at 3.30g/t gold. The results are being folded into an imminent resource update, while Gosso moves closer to becoming a second satellite ore source for the project.

Aureka has secured a seven-year Prospecting Licence for its Comstock gold and silver project near St Arnaud, Victoria, creating a regulatory pathway to assess a return to mining at the historically disturbed site. The approval does not authorise mining, with further consents, work-plan approval, technical studies and funding still required.

Jindalee Lithium has cleared a key procedural step in its proposed US Elemental transaction, with the SEC declaring the Form S-4 registration statement effective. The McDermitt project still needs shareholder, financing and Nasdaq approvals before the targeted Q4 2026 listing can proceed.

Freehill Mining has reported record October gross aggregate sales of A$623,469, with the Islon plant driving a 23% monthly increase despite currency translation effects. The result arrives as upgrades to crushing, screening and conveyor capacity move towards commissioning.

American West Metals has converted part of its Storm resource into a maiden 12.58Mt Ore Reserve and outlined an 11-year copper mine in Nunavut. The project shows a US$118.9 million post-tax NPV at the company’s base-case prices, but still depends on funding, permitting and a further study before construction can begin.

Harvey Norman has extended its authority to repurchase up to 10% of its ordinary shares through November 2027, with the potential program valued at about $538.3 million. The company has not bought any shares under the previous extension, leaving the headline capital commitment discretionary rather than assured.

GDI Property Group enters FY27 with full occupancy at its flagship Perth offices, a 25% lift in Funds From Operations and a plan to sell more than $100 million of non-core assets. Management is also targeting another 5.0 cents per security distribution, while warning that it may be paid partly or wholly from capital.

SciDev has won an award to supply bulk completion chemistry and on-site technical support to a major confidential oil and gas producer in the Permian Basin. The opportunity could generate up to A$20 million over 12 months, but there is no minimum purchase commitment.
