Carnegie Clean Energy has moved its flagship CETO wave-energy project towards offshore deployment in Spain, but the technology developer ended 2026 with a wider loss, $996,347 in cash and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Centaurus Metals has identified more than 20 drill-ready copper-gold targets across its expanded 75km² Boi Novo Project in Brazil. The pipeline includes eight priority prospects at Rio Novo and 13 additional targets at the original Boi Novo tenure, but the results remain an exploration story rather than a new discovery or resource estimate.

Beamtree Holdings has paired 10% recurring revenue growth with a $13.1 million non-cash impairment and a year-end debt covenant breach. The ASX-listed healthcare software company is betting that a tighter product portfolio, new leadership and FY27 execution can stabilise the balance sheet.

Orbital Corporation has secured its first Power by the Hour agreement, converting its propulsion relationship with American Aerospace Technologies into a recurring service contract worth US$2.6 million through December 2027. The deal covers an AiRanger fleet growing to 10 unmanned aircraft, although further expansion remains conditional on new contracts.

Alara Resources has reported its first full-year profit after its Oman copper operation produced above nameplate capacity, lifting revenue 145% to A$135.3 million. The turnaround is substantial, but negative operating cash flow and a planned A$6 million equity raise keep the balance sheet firmly in focus.

Crimson Consulting Australia has declared its A$0.75-a-share cash offer for Kip McGrath Education Centres final, while extending the bid to 4 November and accelerating payment for accepting shareholders. The bidder now has an 82.07% relevant interest in Kip McGrath.

New research from the NEPTUNE cohort has strengthened the biological rationale for Dimerix’s DMX-200 kidney drug, linking CCR2 activity and urinary MCP-1 levels with poorer outcomes in FSGS. The findings support the drug’s mechanism, but do not yet demonstrate Phase 3 efficacy.

AIC Mines delivered record FY26 revenue, profit and operating cash flow while advancing Jericho and the Eloise processing plant expansion. The growth plan is gaining operational momentum, but it is also increasing debt, execution demands and exposure to copper and diesel prices.

Elixir Energy has agreed to farm out half of its interests across much of the Taroom Trough to Beach Energy for $25 million in cash and a four-year, $180 million gross carried work program. The deal could materially reduce Elixir’s funding burden, but completion still depends on several approvals and conditions.

Element 25 has moved its Butcherbird expansion further into delivery, combining early site works with a binding manganese offtake and a potential AU$50 million project finance package. The project still needs financial close, approvals and major construction contracts before the plan becomes an operating mine.

Beach Energy has agreed to spend A$25 million in cash and carry A$90 million of exploration costs to expand its Taroom Trough footprint to 1,481 km2. The deal gives Beach operatorship of key permits, but remains subject to approvals and pre-emptive rights.

EVT delivered a 17% lift in normalised first-quarter EBITDA to $72.5 million, powered by a sharp recovery in Entertainment and resilient Hotels trading. Thredbo was the drag, while an $800 million property sell-down and ongoing structure review put the group’s Hotels-led strategy under the spotlight.

Aussie Broadband has reaffirmed its FY27 underlying EBITDA guidance of $205 million to $215 million after adding more than 193,000 broadband connections since June. The company says major customer migrations are nearing completion, shifting the focus from scale-building to integration and productivity.

Hydration Pharmaceuticals is asking eligible shareholders for up to A$1.43 million in fresh capital as it funds the next phase of its turnaround. The non-renounceable offer comes with free options, but is neither underwritten nor subject to a minimum subscription.

Neu Horizon Uranium has defined a more than 2 km electromagnetic conductor at Storvallflon, where five exploration datasets converge on the strongest surface uranium response recorded during its 2026 campaign. The ASX-listed explorer plans 4,000 metres of diamond drilling in the first quarter of 2027, subject to approvals.

Sunrise Energy Metals has completed key Syerston engineering work and received a conditional commitment for up to US$400 million in long-term debt from the U.S. Office of Strategic Capital. The project’s revised scope now carries an estimated A$450 million to A$475 million capital cost, while the proposed Nasdaq redomiciliation remains subject to multiple approvals.

Objective Corporation delivered 9% revenue growth and a 5% lift in net profit for FY2026, but the loss of a long-running Defence agreement and a separate NHVR contract will pressure recurring revenue in the year ahead. Management expects adjusted EBITDA of at least $40 million in FY2027 as it keeps investing in AI, sales capacity and potential acquisitions.

Bannerman Energy and CNNC Overseas have approved the Final Investment Decision for the Etango uranium project in Namibia, clearing the way for full-scale construction and targeting first yellowcake in 2028. The project is forecast to produce about 3.5 million pounds of U3O8 annually, with construction funding described as covered by existing cash balances.

PeopleIN improved underlying earnings and reduced leverage in FY26 despite a statutory loss, as Queensland’s infrastructure demand drove a sharp recovery in its core workforce division. The company is now betting that a leaner portfolio, Infrawork’s trans-Tasman labour channel and Brisbane 2032-related work can sustain the upturn.

Equus Energy has secured a binding conditional 10-year gas sales agreement with Alcoa covering about 50 TJ a day, while receiving US$1.5 million to fund the next stage of project partnering. The milestone strengthens the commercial case for the Equus Gas Project, but the development remains pre-FID and requires substantial capital, partners and approvals.

IPD Group closed FY26 with record revenue and earnings, a higher fully franked dividend and leverage of about 0.3 times underlying EBITDA. The electrical infrastructure provider enters FY27 with its data centre pipeline and Platinum Cables integration carrying much of the growth narrative.

Eminence Minerals has exercised options to earn an initial 30% interest across five Côte d’Ivoire gold projects covering about 1,508 km². The interests remain subject to completion conditions, while the company prepares to lead exploration across 871 km² of granted tenure.

Monash IVF Group’s underlying NPAT fell 41% to A$16.1 million in FY26, missing its recently reduced guidance as softer Australian IVF activity outweighed international growth. A second-half market-share recovery, lower planned capital spending and a new productivity program now carry the FY27 investment case.

X2M Connect has secured 60-day exclusivity over a Queensland site for a planned 10MW AI-enabled data centre, with development approval and 2.5MW of grid capacity already in place. The estimated $250 million project could add delivery revenue, recurring platform fees and a potential token revenue share, but key commercial terms remain unresolved.
