Metcash has exercised its first right to acquire Queensland’s Peries Group in a debt-funded deal valued at an estimated $80 million to $85 million. The transaction would add 15 IGA supermarkets and around $264 million in annual retail sales, subject to ACCC approval and other conditions.

Arena REIT has raised its FY2027 distribution guidance to 19.0-20.2 cents per security as rent collection and replacement operator arrangements improve across its troubled Edge portfolio. The upgrade remains partly dependent on transactions, lease assignments and approvals being completed.

Terrain Minerals has begun preparations for its largest-ever drilling program, with 86 reverse circulation holes planned across the Smokebush project in Western Australia. The 10,905-metre campaign will test both the existing Lightning resource and seven new exploration targets, but no new exploration results have yet been reported.

Monadelphous Group Limited (ASX:MND) enters FY27 with record FY26 revenue of $2.98 billion, a 52.1% profit increase and more than $680 million of new contracts secured since year-end.

St Barbara reported a $489.7 million FY26 statutory profit, but almost all of it came from the deconsolidation of New Simberi Gold rather than recurring operations.

Shaver Shop Group Limited (ASX:SSG) delivered record FY2026 sales, gross profit and operating cash flow, but flagged a softer-than-expected start to the new financial year.

Charter Hall Long WALE REIT has maintained its FY27 operating earnings and distribution guidance at 25.5 cents per security after delivering 2% FY26 growth.
