Emu NL has moved from geological validation at Fiery Creek into a larger drilling campaign at its Yataga Valley copper project, after ending FY2026 with $3.15 million in cash.

Minerals 260 has emerged from FY26 with a 6.2Moz Bullabulling resource, a maiden 2.5Moz reserve and a pre-feasibility study pointing to a 19-year gold operation. The project is now moving into definitive feasibility, but debt funding, approvals and a final investment decision remain ahead.

Ridley Corporation’s first full reporting year with the Incitec Pivot Fertilisers distribution business produced a sharp lift in underlying earnings and cash flow, despite a steep fall in statutory profit after a $31.8 million NovaqPro impairment. Management expects earnings growth across all three segments in FY27, but the enlarged group now carries significantly more debt and integration work.

Liberty Group delivered a second consecutive year of profit growth in FY26 as record loan originations lifted financial assets to A$15.2 billion. The result supports a 15-cent fully franked special dividend, although credit provisions and cash flow remain important tests for the lending model.

European Lithium reported a A$930.6 million FY2026 profit, but the headline result was dominated by a A$1.276 billion accounting gain after losing control of Critical Metals Corp. The company now heads towards an October vote on a merger that would fold its cash, CRML stake and mineral assets into a single NASDAQ-listed group.

GCQ Flagship Fund recorded a $449.8 million loss before finance costs for the year ended 30 June 2026, as its main ETF class fell 22.8% after fees.

Enprise Group’s revenue rose 6% in FY2026, but a sharp earnings deterioration, tight liquidity and an auditor-highlighted going concern uncertainty have left its recovery plan dependent on cost cuts and fresh funding.

International Equities Corporation Ltd (ASX:IEQ) returned to a statutory profit in FY2026, but the result was largely supported by discontinued tourism operations while continuing activities remained loss-making. An auditor’s material uncertainty warning and a new secured $1.2 million loan put liquidity at the centre of the investment case.

Vection Technologies delivered its first positive full-year operating cash flow and a sharp rise in adjusted EBITDA in FY26. Yet the audited report warns that continued operations depend on stronger sales, margin gains, cost reductions and potential access to further capital.

Jupiter Energy remained operationally cashflow positive in FY2026, but its cash position weakened sharply as revenue declined and drilling plans remained dependent on new funding.

Felix Group Holdings grew FY26 revenue and contracted ARR after acquiring Nexvia, but operating losses and cash outflows widened sharply. The ASX-listed software company is now relying on a post-year-end capital raising while it narrows its strategy to Australia and New Zealand.

Ellerston Asia Growth Fund Complex ETF (ASX: EAFZ) returned 38.4% after fees for the year ended 30 June 2026, beating its Asian equities benchmark by 2.6 percentage points.
