archTIS delivered a sharp step-up in revenue and recurring income after acquiring Spirion, but the stronger top line came with a $16 million loss and a formal warning over its ability to fund operations. The cybersecurity company now has until late October to extend or refinance a key lending facility.

Embelton Limited (ASX:EMB) grew revenue, profit and operating cash flow in FY2026 despite subdued residential construction, while maintaining its 35-cent fully franked annual dividend.

GWA Group delivered its third consecutive year of volume growth in FY26, lifting revenue, normalised EBIT and its fully franked dividend despite weak housing and renovation conditions. The trade-off was a sharp decline in operating cash flow and higher net debt following inventory purchases and a $25 million share buyback.

PGG Wrightson delivered a sharp improvement in FY26 earnings, with Operating EBITDA up 15% to NZ$64.3 million and net profit rising 46% to NZ$15.6 million. The result supports a fully imputed 5.5 cents per share final dividend, although debt and GO-STOCK receivables have also expanded.

Locality Planning Energy (ASX:LPE) reversed losses to post a $2.31 million statutory profit in FY2026, driven by strategic acquisitions, improved earnings, and a strengthened balance sheet.
