News Corp reported record fiscal 2026 revenue and profitability in prepared remarks to shareholders, while all six directors were re-elected and annual executive-pay votes retained. The company also said it returned US$643 million through buybacks as free cash flow rose to US$811 million.

Wynn Resorts’ third-quarter profit fell sharply as revenue declined across Las Vegas, Macau and Boston. A US$0.25 dividend and ongoing buybacks provide shareholder returns, but the group is carrying substantial debt while funding its UAE expansion.

Airbnb delivered a stronger third quarter, with revenue, bookings and profitability all accelerating, while lifting its full-year 2026 outlook and authorising a further US$12 billion share repurchase program. The company is also positioning AI, hotels and travel services as the next leg of growth.

Pacific Edge has secured final Medicare coverage for Cxbladder Triage and Triage Plus in intermediate-risk microhematuria, with the policy due to take effect on 20 December. The decision gives the company a clearer reimbursement pathway, but revenue gains still depend on adoption and testing volumes.

Tāiko Critical Minerals has received a draft decision proposing approval of all consents for its Barrytown project, subject to final conditions. The decision would unlock a four-block operation with a 35 million tonne mineral resource and a potential life exceeding 20 years, but final approval is still pending.

Rua Gold has submitted the substantive fast-track application for its proposed underground Auld Creek gold-antimony mine in New Zealand’s Reefton Goldfield. The milestone moves the project into statutory review, but it is not an approval and the company’s mid-2027 permitting target remains conditional.

Locate Technologies has arranged A$3.0 million of drawn senior debt and a A$1.0 million convertible note to repay its PURE Asset Management facility ahead of maturity. The refinancing removes the immediate repayment deadline, but leaves the company with substantial interest costs and potential equity dilution.

Sempra’s third-quarter earnings rose sharply, while stronger Texas electricity demand points to a larger infrastructure pipeline. The utility group is also nearing a major asset sale, but a California regulatory decision could weigh on 2027 results.

Vivmark Residential delivered higher adjusted operating earnings in its first quarter following the Equity Residential and AvalonBay merger, while merger costs drove a steep GAAP loss. The newly combined landlord raised its annual synergy target to US$135 million and forecast further pressure from California property taxes.

Southern Company delivered a stronger third quarter, with reported earnings up 19.6% and revenue rising 13% as warmer weather, customer growth and large commercial demand lifted electricity sales. The result also carries a growing list of costs tied to wind repowering, debt transactions and regulatory issues at Nicor Gas.

Ralph Lauren delivered stronger-than-expected second-quarter results, with revenue rising 9% to US$2.2 billion and Asia driving a sharp acceleration in growth. The luxury retailer has lifted its full-year revenue and adjusted operating margin targets, although reported profit benefited from a US$82.3 million tariff refund.
