Myer: Sales Rise but One-Off Charge Leads to Statutory Loss

Myer Holdings Limited released its FY26 results on 23 September 2026 for the 52 weeks ended 25 July 2026. Total sales rose 11.3% to AU$4,088.8 million, while comparable sales grew 0.7%. Underlying NPAT fell 2.9% to AU$42.5 million, and underlying EBIT dropped 7.0% to AU$139.4 million. The statutory result was a loss of AU$276.5 million, mainly because of a one-off, non-cash impairment of AU$279.6 million. Myer finished the year with net cash of AU$100 million. The company reported progress on its loyalty program, brand portfolio, online marketplace and integration work. Bringing in Myer Apparel Brands delivered about AU$20 million in cost savings.

Solstice Minerals: AGM Date Confirmed

Solstice Minerals Limited announced on 24 September 2026 that its 2026 Annual General Meeting will take place on 23 November 2026. Directors will be elected at the meeting, and nominations close at 5:00pm WST on 5 October 2026. The update was procedural, but it gives shareholders the key dates for the coming months.

IPD Group: Record Year Supported by Data Centre Demand

IPD Group Limited released its FY26 results on 14 August 2026. Revenue rose 16.8% to AU$414.3 million. Underlying EBITDA grew 19.4% to AU$55.4 million, and underlying NPAT increased 17.9% to AU$30.9 million. Data centre revenue grew 27% to AU$71.5 million, making it a key growth area for the business. IPD also completed its acquisition of Platinum Cables during the year. It ended FY26 with net debt of AU$16.4 million and declared fully franked dividends totalling 14.7 cents per share.

What to Watch

For Myer, investors will focus on whether sales growth and integration savings lead to stronger underlying profits. Solstice shareholders have two key dates coming up: nominations closing on 5 October and the AGM on 23 November 2026. For IPD Group, attention is likely to stay on data centre demand and how well the Platinum Cables acquisition performs.

Conclusion

The three gains came from quite different news. Myer's result combined higher sales with a large one-off charge. Solstice set out its shareholder meeting timetable. IPD Group reported another year of strong, broad growth. Each company now has clear milestones ahead as it moves into FY27. The source article didn't include the dollar change for each share price, so the update shows percentage moves only. Also, Myer's AU$0.195 price looks low for the company, so it may be worth checking before publishing.
