Big River Industries delivered a stronger FY26 despite subdued residential construction, lifting underlying EBITDA 8.4% and reducing gearing after its Johns Building Supplies acquisition. The company is targeting double-digit underlying EBITDA growth in FY27, while its strategic options review remains unresolved.

DigiCo Infrastructure REIT is using US asset sales to lower leverage and concentrate capital on its Australian data centre pipeline, led by the fully funded 88MW SYD1 project. The strategy comes alongside a $100.8 million statutory loss, higher distributions and FY27 guidance for 15.0 cents per security.

Kelsian Group delivered record FY26 earnings and lifted its fully franked dividend, while preparing to become a more focused bus, coach and ferry operator. The next test is execution: completing the conditional tourism sale, mobilising new contracts and delivering against FY27 EBITDA guidance.

Ramsay Health Care delivered stronger FY26 earnings, a higher fully franked dividend and improved Funding Group leverage as it prepares to separate Ramsay Santé. The proposed demerger remains conditional, but the company has set a clear timetable for the next phase of its portfolio reshaping.

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.

Volt Group delivered a steep lift in HY26 revenue, adjusted EBITDA, profit and operating cash flow, with the 4D Delta acquisition providing the largest contribution. The mining technology company also expanded its Westgold solar-lighting fleet and advanced Wescone’s crusher technology.

4DMedical delivered sharp growth in scans, sites and operating revenue as CT:VQ moved into commercial deployment across several global markets. But the company remains loss-making and its auditor issued a qualified opinion over the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets.

AIC Mines is paying $120 million for the Mt Cuthbert copper project in northwest Queensland, funded partly by a $70 million placement to Hawke’s Point. The deal would add 246,000 tonnes of contained copper to the group’s resources, but comes before Mt Cuthbert has a single Ore Reserve.

Sultan Resources has secured firm commitments for a $1.316 million placement to fund its move into Namibia, including initial work at the 171.2 square kilometre Kaalkop project. The deal also carries a substantial option package, with key securities still requiring shareholder approval.

Strike Energy has moved South Erregulla into final commissioning and lifted West Erregulla’s net 2P reserves by about 20%, but the project-heavy year came with sharply lower earnings and operating cash flow. The company is now relying on execution, financing and new production to convert a larger asset base into cash generation.

Nufarm expects FY26 underlying EBITDA to rise about 25% at the midpoint of its $370 million to $380 million range, while leverage falls from 2.7 times to approximately 2.0 times. The improvement comes alongside a sweeping cost-reduction program, but restructuring charges of up to $110 million post tax remain in the numbers.

Reach Resources has increased the Blue Heaven resource by 30% to 80,000 ounces while advancing a proposed profit-sharing mining arrangement with Andel Resources. The progress came alongside a sharply larger FY2026 loss and a balance sheet still dependent on future project execution.
