Mirvac has held its FY27 earnings and distribution guidance after a resilient first quarter, despite a marked moderation in residential activity. Occupancy remained at 97%, development milestones advanced and roughly three-quarters of the $200 million buy-back was complete by 20 October.

Genesis Energy’s FY27 first quarter brought two tangible milestones for its growth plan: the first Huntly battery is commissioned and Leeston Solar Farm has reached final investment decision. The quarter also showed how favourable hydro conditions are reshaping generation, gas use and wholesale-market exposure.

MEC Resources ended the September quarter with $1.275 million in cash and reported an estimated 11.9 quarters of funding at its current operating cash burn. But its key Advent Energy investment faces a live Federal Court appeal over PEP11, while an onshore subsidiary holding the Weaber Gas Field remains in voluntary administration.

CSL has appointed ViiV Healthcare CEO Deborah Waterhouse to lead the biopharmaceutical group from 1 February 2027. Her arrival comes with a substantial UK-pound-denominated remuneration package and a mandate to renew the pipeline while simplifying operations.

Wiluna Mining is asking investors to fund an $180 million relisting and mine-restart plan after a processing-tank rupture halted its revenue-generating operations.

Xstate Resources ended September with A$676,000 in cash and an estimated 0.97 quarters of funding based on historical outgoings. The company says lower future activity, A$300,000 of receivables and potential equity funding should support operations while Diona-1 flow testing remains under review.

1414 Degrees has completed the acquisition that gives it 100% ownership of the 16 km² Aurora Energy Precinct near Port Augusta.

SenSen Networks has opened FY27 with record quarterly customer cash receipts of A$5.3 million, 17% annualised recurring revenue growth and positive operating cash flow. The ASX-listed AI enforcement software company also secured A$2.6 million in new and expansion contracts, although converting those wins into recurring revenue remains the next test.

Service Stream has reported higher margins, earnings and dividends for FY26, while its newly mobilised Defence operations are positioned to contribute more meaningfully in FY27. The company enters the new year with $8.2 billion of work in hand, a net cash balance sheet and a positive but non-specific growth outlook.

Transurban’s Group average daily traffic rose 3.1% year on year in the September quarter, with Melbourne, North America and Sydney leading the portfolio higher. The update also corrects recent North American traffic and pricing data, with no reported revenue impact.

BPH Energy’s latest quarter puts its portfolio risks in sharp relief: Advent is appealing the PEP11 ruling while another subsidiary remains in voluntary administration. BPH ended September with $1.127 million in cash, but deployed $972,000 in loans to investees during the quarter.
