Market Alert: Global Equity Markets Under Pressure Amid Valuation Concerns and Economic Uncertainty
Orica (ASX: ORI) delivered its strongest performance in 13 years, driven by sustained demand for premium blasting products, advanced digital technologies, and robust conditions in gold and copper markets. Revenue rose to AU$8.1 billion, with EBIT climbing 23% to AU$992 million, reflecting margin expansion, improved product mix, and solid operational execution. Growth was recorded across all three major segments: Blasting Solutions benefited from wider uptake of WebGen and 4D technologies; Digital Solutions saw stronger recurring revenue and increased exploration activity; and Specialty Mining Chemicals achieved record sodium cyanide sales supported by elevated gold prices and expanded global supply capability.
The company strengthened its balance sheet with AU$949 million in operating cash flow and maintained leverage at the lower end of its target range. Sustainability progress was notable, achieving a 51% reduction in gross Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2019 levels. Orica enters 2026 with positive momentum and expectations of continued EBIT growth across all segments.
