Latest Quickfee (ASX:QFE) News

Gold, rare earths and energy shares led a busy week, while major company results brought large gains and steep sell-offs. Corporate deals, new project studies and rising dividends drew buyers, but some stocks fell despite stronger earnings.

Takeover bids sent EQT Holdings sharply higher, while Ovanti collapsed after leaving the buy now, pay later market. Strong results from lenders and fund managers were offset by steep falls in several stocks.

Investors also weighed dividends, buy-backs, cost cuts and regulatory risks across a busy week of company news.

QuickFee Limited swung to a A$39.3 million profit for FY26, propelled by the lucrative sale of its US Pay Now products, while trimming costs and declaring its first dividends.

Takeover action and strong funds growth drove the week in finance stocks. Big winners came from deal news and fresh money coming onto platforms, while a few profit stories still saw sellers step in.

QuickFee Limited’s FY26 results show stable normalised revenue with Australian loan originations surging 40%, offsetting US finance declines. The company ups its Australian debt facility and confirms EBITDA guidance, eyeing growth in both markets.

Deal-making and capital returns drove the finance board this week, with several stocks rising on mergers, buybacks and strong portfolio numbers. One sharp sell-off in Findi showed investors still punish uncertainty fast.

QuickFee Limited has reported a robust 77% increase in Australian originations for Q4 FY26 to-date, driven by strong Fee Funding and Disbursement Funding growth. The company boosted its Australian credit facility by A$15 million, signalling confidence in its low-risk lending model, while US operations focus on reseller channel expansion amid a product embedding delay.

Finance stocks split into two camps this week: small caps with fresh cash or growth plans surged, while several larger names fell despite solid operating updates. The clearest pattern was simple. Investors paid up for visible growth, but sold hard where profit quality, capital or market-sensitive funds came into question.

QuickFee reported a 9% normalised revenue decline in Q3 FY26, driven by US finance weakness post-US Pay Now sale, while Australian legal disbursement funding surged, underpinning confidence in FY26 earnings guidance.

Small caps stole the week, led by a big funding deal in gold and two revenue breakouts. Meanwhile, some well-known names slid after profit updates failed to calm nerves on costs and outlooks.

Big swings hit ASX financials this week as profit updates, takeover votes and cost cuts drove fast re-pricing. The winners paid (or promised) cash. The laggards spooked investors with losses, restructures or shaky earnings outlooks.

QuickFee Limited has reported a dramatic turnaround with a $36.45 million profit in H1 FY26, driven by the sale of its US Pay Now business and a strategic capital return to shareholders. Underlying operations show promising growth despite divestments.
