Global X Copper Miners ETF delivered a sharp rise in annual profit as copper-mining equities lifted fair values and investor applications accelerated. The result was dominated by market gains rather than recurring income, leaving the fund highly exposed to further moves in copper shares and currencies.

Global X Semiconductor ETF reported an AUD 688.687 million profit for the year to 30 June 2026, driven overwhelmingly by fair value gains on semiconductor equities. The strong result was followed by a more than 10% decline in net asset value after year-end, highlighting the volatility behind the headline number.

Global X ROBO Global Robotics and Automation ETF delivered a sharply higher annual profit, powered by fair-value gains across its robotics portfolio. But the fund disclosed that its net asset value has since fallen by more than 10%, leaving investors with a strong reported year and a materially weaker latest position.

Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call Complex ETF reported a sharp improvement in annual profit, helped by a swing to fair-value gains and continued investor applications. The ASX-listed feeder fund paid or accrued $2.731 million in distributions, but the result does not show whether investors achieved a positive total return after unit-price movements.

Global X Hydrogen ETF reported a $33.5 million profit for the year to 30 June 2026, driven almost entirely by fair-value gains. But the ASX-listed fund has since seen its net asset value fall by more than 10% as hydrogen-related holdings weakened.

Global X Artificial Intelligence ETF reported a sixfold increase in annual profit, driven overwhelmingly by gains in the value of its listed technology portfolio. Net assets more than tripled as investor applications and market gains lifted the fund to AUD 273.1 million.

Global X Rare Earth and Critical Metals ETF delivered a sharp lift in audited profit for the year ended 30 June 2026, while net assets more than tripled as investors added capital. The result was driven mainly by realised gains on listed critical-metals equities, alongside a distribution of 112.44 cents per unit.

Zimplats delivered a sharp FY2026 earnings rebound, with revenue up 57% and profit after tax rising to US$276.7 million. The result was driven mainly by stronger PGM prices, while lower sales volumes, higher unit costs, no dividend and rising sulphur dioxide emissions temper the celebration.

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. The flooring and engineering group is leaning further into infrastructure, data centres, healthcare and other commercial work, although its near-term contracting pipeline remains modest.

Intelligent Investor Australian Equity Income Fund (ASX:INIF) more than quadrupled its annual profit to $8.701 million, lifting distributions to 32.62 cents per unit. But $14.443 million of redemptions exceeded new applications, while the proposed sale of the Intelligent Investor business to Teaminvest Private Group remains conditional.

Intelligent Investor Select Value Share Fund (ASX: IISV) swung from a $10.85 million profit to a $2.99 million loss in the year to 30 June 2026, driven by a sharp reversal in unrealised investment gains. The fund paid or accrued a larger distribution while its net assets declined, as the proposed sale of the Intelligent Investor business remained incomplete.

Intelligent Investor Equity Growth Fund returned to a $4.769 million operating profit in the year to 30 June 2026, after recording a $242,000 loss a year earlier. The improvement came with sharply higher distributions, but substantial redemptions reduced net assets and the fund faces an unresolved change of investment-manager ownership.
