The Whitehaven Coal Ltd (ASX: WHC) share price is in focus today after the coal miner posted FY26 revenue of $5.4 billion and net profit after tax of $385 million, despite tough coal markets and a $79 million shareholder dividend.

What did Whitehaven Coal report?

• Revenue of $5,401 million, down 7% on FY25
• Net profit after tax (NPAT) attributable to members was $385 million, down 41%
• Underlying NPAT of $227 million, down 29%
• Underlying EBITDA of $1,250 million, down 8%
• Final fully franked dividend of 6 cents per share (total FY26 payout: 10 cents per share)
• Group ROM coal production increased 3% to 40.3 million tonnes

What else do investors need to know?

Whitehaven delivered strong operational performance across its Queensland and New South Wales mines, with managed coal production reaching the top end of its guidance range. The acquisition and integration of the Daunia and Blackwater mines continued to add value, while a debt refinancing in April 2026 reduced borrowing costs and extended maturities.

The company generated solid cash from operations but saw a significant profit drop due to softer coal prices, a higher Australian dollar, and lower equity sales from Blackwater post sell‑down. Costs were kept in check, with a 5% fall in unit cost per tonne to $132, despite higher input costs, particularly for diesel.

What’s next for Whitehaven Coal?

Looking ahead, Whitehaven expects FY27 managed ROM coal production to be in the range of 38–41 million tonnes. Management remains focused on disciplined cost control and productivity, particularly as energy, commodity, and currency markets stay volatile. Development work continues at projects like the Vickery Extension and the Winchester South metallurgical coal project, with a final investment decision dependent on market conditions and capital allocation priorities.

The company aims to further reduce its cost base, continue returning capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, and invest in growth opportunities that support long‑term value.

Whitehaven Coal share price snapshot

The Whitehaven Coal share price is up 17% over the past 12 months, outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 index (ASX: XJO), which is up 2% over the same period.

• Group nbn market share up 1.9 percentage points to 8.5%

What else do investors need to know?

Superloop successfully completed its three-year Double Down strategy in FY26, driving scale, improved margins and strong cashflow. Integration of the Frontier and Lynham acquisitions helped nearly double Smart Communities contracted lots to around 190,000, bolstering future annuity earnings.

All three business segments – Consumer, Business and Wholesale – delivered revenue and gross profit growth, with the Consumer segment now serving 501,000 customers. Investment in digital and AI solutions drove efficiency, with group margin and operating leverage improving further.

The Group finished the year with $101.7 million in cash and net debt of approximately $128 million, strengthening its capacity to support organic growth and selective acquisitions.

What did Superloop management say?

Superloop’s CEO, Paul Tyler, commented:

Three years ago, we launched Double Down to build a larger, more profitable and highly cash-generative business. FY26 marks the successful completion of that strategy. We delivered on every commitment we made and finished the year with Underlying EBITDA of $122.7 million, above the top end of our upgraded guidance range. Our growth momentum is continuing. The integration of the Frontier and Lynham acquisitions into Smart Communities has yielded a scaled infrastructure platform that will continue to convert contracted lots into high-margin annuity earnings for years to come.

We grew all three customer segments while improving group margin, demonstrating the operating leverage inherent in our business model. Strong cash generation gives us the ability to fund further investment in the network, support customer growth and act on acquisitions where we see opportunity to create shareholder value. We look forward to the next phase of growth under SuperCharge29.

What’s next for Superloop?

Superloop is now turning to its new “SuperCharge29” strategy, targeting more than $1 billion in group revenue, $200 million in underlying EBITDA, and over 30% reported EPS growth CAGR by FY29. Future investment will be focused on balancing organic growth, expansion of Smart Communities, and selective acquisitions that create further shareholder value.

FY27 guidance will be provided in November, with management emphasising a disciplined approach to growth and a strong balance sheet to support strategic opportunities.

The Amaero Ltd (ASX: 3DA) share price is in focus after the company posted a 376% jump in full-year revenue to $18.1 million, but also reported a net loss of $36.5 million as it continued to scale its U.S. operations.

What did Amaero Inc. report?

Amaero completed a three-year, $72 million capital investment program on time and on budget, commissioning a third EIGA Premium Atomizer and doubling its titanium powder capacity in the U.S. Production was briefly disrupted in May after a flash fire incident at the Tennessee facility, causing a six-week pause in titanium powder manufacturing; no orders were cancelled and staff was retained.

During the year, the company redomiciled from Australia to the U.S. to better access U.S. capital markets and support opportunities in American defence and manufacturing. Amaero retained its ASX listing via CDIs, and subsequently submitted draft filings with the U.S. SEC for a potential U.S. IPO.

The company secured multi-year supply agreements—including exclusive deals with Velo3D, Titomic, Knust-Godwin, and United Performance Metals—and was awarded a $6.5 million contract from the U.S. Department of War for developing alternative refractory alloy powders.

What did Amaero management say?

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Hank J. Holland said:

FY2026 was a very strong year of execution and scale-up for Amaero, as we transitioned from building our core capabilities to commercial delivery and revenue growth. We advanced on many fronts – manufacturing, commercial partnerships, financial structure, leadership, and governance – completing our original three-year, A$72 million capital investment program on schedule and on budget, redomiciling the Company to the United States, and growing full-year revenue by 376% to A$18.1 million.

What’s next for Amaero?

Amaero is targeting further growth in FY27, with plans to commission a fourth atomizer and an argon recycling system to improve operating margins. The focus remains on fulfilling new and existing long-term contracts across defence, space, aviation and medical sectors.

The board is also seeking to complete a potential U.S. IPO and listing in late 2026 or early 2027, pending market and regulatory conditions. A contracted backlog of $23.1 million provides Amaero with forward revenue visibility over the next year.
