Codan expects first-half FY27 net profit after tax of at least $160 million, powered by a sharp increase in Communications revenue and margins. The company is raising its full-year Communications growth target, while warning that conflict-region demand remains difficult to forecast beyond three months.

Structural Monitoring Systems (ASX:SMN) delivered record FY26 revenue, a sharp lift in profit and $6.0 million of free cash flow as its avionics business outpaced contract manufacturing. The balance sheet is now free of bank debt, but the next leg of the story still depends on FAA approvals and converting CVM technology into commercial revenue.

Singular Health has signed a non-binding MOU to build and operate a medical imaging repository for Florida Medicaid, with approximately A$3.5 million of potential revenue subject to definitive agreements and delivery. The project could give its 3DICOM platform a state-funded infrastructure reference site, but recurring funding remains unassured.

Megaport has secured three AI infrastructure contracts worth a combined A$978.6 million, with customer prepayments covering much of the required investment. The deals push pro forma Group ARR to about A$1.1 billion and prompt upgrades to FY27 revenue and EBITDA margin guidance.

SRJ Technologies has secured a US$1.234 million purchase order for an LNG controls upgrade supporting a Middle Eastern National Oil Company. The award adds revenue across FY26 and FY27 while giving SRJ a less site-dependent route to build its Gulf credentials.

Heartland Group Holdings (NZX: HGH, ASX: HGH) more than doubled FY2026 net profit as margins widened, asset quality improved and its proposed TSB merger moved towards a shareholder vote. The bank also reported a 16% fall in restated emissions, though much of its climate-risk work remains incomplete or estimate-driven.

Spacetalk Limited (ASX:SPA) has posted a sharply deeper FY26 loss and negative net assets, while its auditor flagged a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The company says a $10 million post-year-end placement, note conversions and new telco agreements give its software-led strategy room to execute.

Global X Artificial Intelligence ETF reported a sixfold increase in annual profit, driven overwhelmingly by gains in the value of its listed technology portfolio. Net assets more than tripled as investor applications and market gains lifted the fund to AUD 273.1 million.

WT Financial Group has delivered its sixth consecutive year of growth, with EBITDA rising 19.5% to $8.2 million and operating cash flow reaching $10.3 million. The ASX-listed advice network is now shifting from building scale to monetising its B2B platform and Hubco investments, while carrying higher provisions and debt.

AUCyber has added approximately $1.34 million in annual recurring revenue from two Australian university contracts, including a new 12-month deal with the University of New England worth more than $600,000 a year. The cybersecurity provider is also bidding for a separate university engagement valued at about $5.5 million, although that opportunity remains uncontracted.

Cobalt Blue has secured a US$150,000 contract to deliver key technical work for Glomar Minerals’ planned US polymetallic nodule refinery. The work takes Project Infinity into a formal Preliminary Economic Analysis, although the project remains at an early evaluation stage and its cost estimates carry a wide accuracy range.

WCM Quality Global Growth Fund delivered a positive 16.87% return for the year, although it lagged its global benchmark and reported sharply lower distributions. Its longer-term record remains ahead of the benchmark, leaving investors weighing recent relative weakness against a new income-focused policy.
