Clover Corporation has delivered record FY26 revenue of $97.4 million and a 50% lift in attributable profit, while raising its fully franked final dividend to 1.25 cents per share. The result comes alongside a planned chair transition, with Ian Glasson set to replace retiring chair Rupert Harrington after the 2026 AGM.

Michael Hill International has returned to profit growth and restored its dividend after a year of sharper execution, brand simplification and stronger cash generation. Record revenue and a 57% rise in comparable EBIT mark a meaningful recovery, although the reset remains unfinished.

Korvest has entered FY27 with record work on hand after completing a new 3,500 square metre Kilburn factory, even as FY26 profit and operating cash flow declined. The ASX-listed manufacturer maintained its 40-cent fully franked final dividend and plans another $4 million capacity investment.

The Colonial Motor Company (NZX:CMO) increased shareholder profit, lifted its annual dividend and sharply reduced borrowings and inventory in 2026.

JB Hi-Fi delivered record FY2026 sales of $11.06 billion and lifted its fully franked ordinary dividend by 22.5% to 337 cents per share.
