HiTech Group Australia delivered a weaker FY2026 profit and lower revenue, but finished with $10.56 million in cash and no debt before completing its Hudson acquisition.

Gowing Bros’ FY2026 loss widened to $3.49 million as Surf Hardware International remained deeply loss-making and investment properties were marked down by $3.0 million.
