Investor Centre’s FY2025 report lays bare the financial strain behind its proposed revival: revenue collapsed, cash fell to just $3,320 and liabilities exceeded assets by $3.81 million. The company is now relying on an unsecured Lake Volta Investments facility and a non-binding restructuring plan after its brokerage subsidiary lost its AFSL.

Suncorp Group has rejected speculation that it is in takeover discussions with Tokio Marine after its shares climbed from $19.05 to $20.18 and trading volumes increased. The insurer told the ASX it had received no takeover offer and knew of no undisclosed information explaining the move.

Yancoal has completed its US$1.85 billion purchase of an 80% interest in Queensland’s Kestrel metallurgical coal mine, materially expanding its operating portfolio. The deal also leaves up to US$550 million in contingent payments tied to future coal prices.

Lynas Rare Earths has agreed to acquire Meteoric Resources in an all-share deal valued at about A$968 million, adding the Caldeira rare earths project in Brazil to its portfolio.

Ampol will acquire Evie Networks for $225 million in a debt-funded deal that would more than triple its public charging footprint to approximately 1,425 bays. The transaction offers a faster route into Australia’s expanding EV infrastructure market, but its earnings case depends on regulatory clearance, integration and rising utilisation.

Stakk Limited (ASX:SKK) delivered a sharp FY2026 revenue increase and moved to audited operating profitability, but its next test is considerably larger: integrating ParaScript while servicing new debt and converting contracted revenue into cash.

Metallium has completed a 12-hour campaign using three Flash Joule Heating reactors to process platinum-group-metal-bearing catalytic converter material under reactive chlorination conditions.

Xpedra Resources has made Springfield the centrepiece of a sharp shift into New South Wales gold exploration, with drilling outlining broad mineralisation across 400 metres of strike and to at least 150 metres down-dip. The results came alongside a $7.53 million annual loss, $3.09 million in cash and a fresh 44 million-share acquisition of the Neeld Gold Project.
