Helia’s nine-month statutory profit fell to $136.5 million as weaker lending, the loss of its CBA contract and softer housing conditions reduced revenue. Claims remain low and capital coverage strengthened, allowing the mortgage insurer to retain its FY26 guidance.

Berkeley Energia has completed follow-up drilling at its Conchas lithium-rubidium project while its US$1.25 billion arbitration claim against Spain moves towards a mid-2027 jurisdiction hearing. The company ended September with A$60 million in cash and no debt, but Salamanca’s permitting impasse remains unresolved.

Rent.com.au has posted record quarterly revenue of $1.53 million, while recurring revenue surged 187% year on year and operating cashflow stayed positive for a third consecutive quarter. The renter-focused platform is broadening into bill payments, savings and lending, although tighter credit criteria reduced new RentBond lending during the period.

Peninsula Energy has reported materially stronger flow rates at several Lance header houses and reconfirmed its 500,000 to 600,000-pound CY2027 production target. The operational gains come alongside a US$30 million convertible debt draw, US$11.5 million of quarterly operating cash outflows and only 2.9 quarters of estimated funding at the current burn rate.

Beonic has launched its in-house Vision platform across four countries while delivering a profitable first quarter, with EBITDA of A$853,000 and an 83.0% gross margin. The stronger operating result came alongside weaker total revenue, negative operating cash flow and only 1.7 quarters of estimated funding.

IperionX has validated titanium powder capacity above 200 tonnes per annum and lifted quarterly production to 8.7 tonnes, while a new U.S. Army task order funds further manufacturing scale-up. The company ended September with US$63.0 million in cash and US$33.7 million of obligated government funding still available for reimbursement.

Magontec’s nine-month revenue rose 28.9% to A$59.4 million as stronger electronic anode sales and a recovery in Metals lifted gross profit to A$12.8 million. The turnaround is generating cash before working-capital movements, but Chinese demand, European automotive weakness and near-term debt maturities remain live risks.

Nex Metals has assembled a potential 3,021 km² Western Australian exploration portfolio through its WTAC joint venture, while preliminary Kookynie test work lifted laboratory gold recovery to 71%. The expansion comes with important conditions: most tenure remains pending, and the processing case still requires further technical and economic work.

Li-S Energy has delivered its lithium-sulfur Power Cells to a US Army research centre and completed a near two-hour endurance flight with its Pegasus drone. The milestones advance its defence and aerospace commercialisation pipeline, but neither has yet produced a procurement order or confirmed revenue.

Alcidion has started FY27 with contracted revenue up 38% to $50.0 million, while a major UK expansion and new patient administration product widen its growth case. The company has also reaffirmed that FY27 revenue and underlying EBITDA will exceed FY26, but its capital plan now has several competing demands.

Peppermint Innovation’s Philippine payments business delivered a sharp September-quarter acceleration, with customer receipts rising to A$1.18 million and operating cash outflow falling 55%. The company says early October volumes have already exceeded September’s full-month total, while ASX reinstatement remains conditional.

GCM Corporation has shipped 18 VHD heat-sink products for customer evaluation, while preliminary LED testing recorded lower surface temperatures than aluminium comparators. The commercial progress comes with qualification taking longer than expected and A$4.2 million of cash supporting an estimated two quarters of funding.
