- The SGH share price plunged nearly 10 percent after the company formerly known as Seven Group Holdings posted its FY26 results to the ASX. The diversified industrial conglomerate's results to the end of June show underlying net profit after tax of $920 million, down 0.4 per cent. Shareholders will receive a final franked dividend of 32 cents per share.
SGH owns a number of businesses including Boral, Westrac, and Coates, and is a major stakeholder in Beach Energy and Southern Cross Media (the latter company recently merged with Seven West Media).
SGH chief executive officer Ryan Stokes told ABC's The Business the reaction from investors "overplayed" the FY26 result and FY outlook. "Our businesses are in a good position.

- Description
- In a small reprieve for mortgage borrowers, the Reserve Bank kept interest rates on hold at 4.35 per cent. However, governor Michele Bullock warned the central bank may not be done with rate hikes, saying "we already raised three times, and we will go again if we need to." Those previous rate increases are already having a major impact on the property market, with house prices falling in most capital cities, and major banks like Westpac and NAB seeing home loan applications plummet.
More broadly, Ms Bullock says the RBA board is concerned about the tight jobs market, AI boom and US-Iran war and inflation being far too high. The longer the Middle East war drags on, the more likely it is that businesses may have to permanently pass on higher prices to customers, she added. The governor also said she was not concerned about the financial stability risks of a property downturn.
According to the RBA's latest forecasts, inflation is unlikely to fall back within it...

- Description
- The latest Australian metals company to receive support from the US Department of War has called on the federal government to adjust its policy settings to ensure Australia better supports mining of rare earths and critical minerals.
The Pentagon will invest more than half a billion dollars to expand Sunrise Energy Metals' Syerston Scandium project near Dubbo - which Donald Trump declared is set to become the world's first scandium mine.
The announcement saw the company's share price soar.
Sunrise Energy Metals' chief executive Sam Riggall joined The Business from New York. He says while scandium is a common metal, it's rare to find it in high concentrations in the ground, which they've found in New South Wales.
Scandium is used in aerospace, defence and automotive sectors.
He says the Syerston Scandium Project could "almost replace all of China's entire supply from one mine".
