November 2026

Cyprium Metals has issued 61.35 million shares in the first tranche of its A$20.7 million placement, securing the bulk of the proposed equity funding. A further 1.42 million shares for directors remains conditional on shareholder approval in December.

Top End Energy has abandoned its proposed US AI data centre venture after receiving an unfavourable ASX response, leaving its shares suspended until the company disposes of its PowerPlay interest. The company is refocusing on Northern Territory exploration, but key permit approvals and the timing of any ASX reinstatement remain unresolved.

WEC Energy Group has established a framework to sell up to US$4 billion of common stock, including through forward transactions. No shares have been sold under the agreement yet, leaving the timing, proceeds and potential dilution unresolved.

Regions Financial expects fourth-quarter net interest income to rise 1% to 2% sequentially, while third-quarter adjusted earnings reached US$622 million. The bank also reported improving non-performing loans and net charge-offs, but flagged interest-rate and commercial credit risks that remain central to its outlook.

Woodside Energy has set a new capital framework aimed at lifting portfolio returns while directing 20% to 40% of adjusted operating cash flow towards dividends and potential buybacks. The strategy rests on Scarborough, Trion and Louisiana LNG reaching production milestones, alongside US$400 million in annual structural cost reductions from 2028.

Oracle has completed a sizeable capital raising combining US$10 billion of notes with the issue of 86.2 million common shares. The company has not yet specified how the proceeds will be divided between investment, debt repayment, acquisitions, dividends or buybacks.

CF Industries delivered stronger third-quarter earnings and cash generation as nitrogen prices and volumes improved, while construction began on its US$3.7 billion Blue Point One project. The result was helped by favourable market conditions, lower realised gas costs and a US$62 million business interruption insurance recovery.

Atmos Energy has forecast higher fiscal 2027 earnings, a larger capital programme and a 9% increase in its annual dividend. The natural gas distributor will also combine its chair and chief executive roles after Kim Cocklin’s retirement.

STERIS delivered 9% second-quarter revenue growth and lifted its fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS outlook, helped partly by tariff refunds. Life Sciences led the operating gains, while weaker cash flow and a new restructuring plan add important qualifications.

APA has lifted its 2026 free cash flow outlook by US$600 million to approximately US$2.9 billion, while setting a lower US$2 billion net debt target. Strong Permian production and debt reduction give the oil and gas producer more room for buybacks, dividends and its next investment cycle.

Host Hotels delivered an 8.8% rise in comparable hotel RevPAR and lifted its 2026 growth targets, despite a sharp quarterly fall in GAAP net income. Two acquisitions and a cheaper, longer-dated credit facility add a second layer to the lodging REIT’s expansion story.

HP has turned to former GSK chief Emma Walmsley to lead the company from January, handing her a compensation package featuring a US$30 million inducement equity award. Interim CEO Bruce Broussard will become chair as the company prepares a significant leadership reset.

Desane Group Holdings (ASX:DGH) is entering FY27 with a $105.9 million asset base, conservative gearing and two developments expected to drive its next phase of earnings. The challenge is converting that balance-sheet strength into recurring income while navigating construction costs, funding risk and a chairman transition.

hipages Group delivered stronger FY26 cash generation and record margins, but now expects FY27 revenue, profitability and free cash flow to land at the lower ends of its existing targets. Management says deteriorating economic conditions have slowed activity in some discretionary home-improvement categories.

Kuniko has intersected mineralisation in all five Phase 2 holes at Silica Hill, extending the interpreted gold-silver-base-metal system beyond the historical resource footprint. The results include a 16.3-metre interval grading 1.56 g/t gold equivalent, while new geophysical targets point to further exploration beyond the drilled area.

MetLife delivered its highest quarterly adjusted earnings per share, supported by stronger investment income, broad-based volume growth and favourable underwriting. The result also came with a sharp fall in reported book value per share and a sizeable boost from derivative gains.

Canterbury Resources has opened a non-underwritten share purchase plan targeting approximately A$1 million for drilling at its John Hill copper-molybdenum deposit. The company may accept up to A$2.5 million, while all five directors have indicated they intend to participate.

Edwards Lifesciences delivered stronger-than-expected third-quarter growth and lifted its full-year 2026 outlook, led by a sharp rise in mitral and tricuspid therapies. A US$220.2 million impairment charge remains a notable counterpoint to the upbeat operating performance.

Eversource Energy narrowed its 2026 recurring earnings guidance after third-quarter GAAP profit fell, while a $26.5 billion investment plan and unresolved regulatory exposures shape the utility’s next phase. The guidance midpoint rose to US$4.66 per share despite lower year-to-date reported earnings.

Aflac’s third-quarter GAAP earnings plunged after a US$1.1 billion investment loss tied largely to portfolio repositioning, masking a more resilient operating result. The insurer raised its Aflac Japan margin outlook and outlined a potential US$1 billion capital release through reinsurance.

Block delivered a stronger third quarter, with gross profit up 22% and Cash App gross profit up 27%, but the result was overshadowed by a proposed $764 million net payment to resolve a US Department of Justice inquiry. The agreement remains subject to a final deal and court approval.

Light & Wonder lifted third-quarter net income 17% and adjusted free cash flow 21%, while cutting debt and extending its premium gaming growth streak. But the ASX-listed gaming group now expects FY26 EBITDA growth toward the lower end of its previous mid-to-high single-digit range.

Monvia delivered FY26 adjusted revenue and EBITDA slightly ahead of its IPO forecasts, while ARR climbed 21% to A$14 million. The ASX-listed insurance software provider now has a much larger pipeline, but expects FY27 total revenue to remain flat as professional services revenue eases.

Corazon Mining has intersected gold across roughly 450 metres south of the historical Chalice pit, with mineralisation found in 23 of 29 RC holes reported. The results support the geological model behind a larger conceptual exploration target, while five holes testing up to 800 metres south remain pending.
