Peninsula Energy (ASX:PEN investor three-year losses grow to 78% as the stock sheds AU$25m this past week
Since Peninsula Energy has shed AU$25m from its value in the past 7 days, let's see if the longer term decline has been driven by the business' economics.
See our latest analysis for Peninsula Energy
Because Peninsula Energy made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one would hope for good top-line growth to make up for the lack of earnings.
In the last three years, Peninsula Energy saw its revenue grow by 28% per year, compound. That is faster than most pre-profit companies. So why has the share priced crashed 21% per year, in the same time? You'd want to take a close look at the balance sheet, as well as the losses. Sometimes fast revenue growth doesn't lead to profits. Unless the balance sheet is strong, the company might have to raise capital.

We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. This free report showing analyst forecasts should help you form a view on Peninsula Energy
While the broader market gained around 9.0% in the last year, Peninsula Energy shareholders lost 62%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 10% per year over five years. We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should "buy when there is blood on the streets", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Peninsula Energy better, we need to consider many other factors. For instance, we've identified 3 warning signs for Peninsula Energy (1 is potentially serious) that you should be aware of.
There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of undervalued small cap companies that insiders are buying.

We Like JB Hi-Fi's (ASX:JBH) Earnings For More Than Just Statutory Profit
Explore JB Hi-Fi's Fair Values from the Community and select yours JB Hi-Fi Limited's (ASX:JBH) recent earnings report didn't offer any surprises, with the shares unchanged over the last week. We did some digging, and we think that investors are missing some encouraging factors in the underlying numbers. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. A Closer Look At JB Hi-Fi's Earnings As finance nerds would already know, the accrual ratio from cashflow is a key measure for assessing how well a company's free cash flow (FCF) matches its profit. To get the accrual ratio we first subtract FCF from profit for a period, and then divide that number by the average operating assets for the period. The ratio shows us how much a company's profit exceeds its FCF. As a result, a negative accrual ratio is a positive for the company, and a positive accrual ratio is a negative. While it's not a problem to have a positive accrual ratio, indicating a certain level of non-cash profits, a high accrual ratio is arguably a bad thing, because it indicates paper profits are not matched by cash flow. Notably, there is some academic evidence that suggests that a high accrual ratio is a bad sign for near-term profits, generally speaking. JB Hi-Fi has an accrual ratio of -0.13 for the year to June 2025. That indicates that its free cash flow was a fair bit more than its statutory profit. In fact, it had free cash flow of AU$629m in the last year, which was a lot more than its statutory profit of AU$462.4m. JB Hi-Fi's free cash flow actually declined over the last year, which is disappointing, like non-biodegradable balloons. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. Our Take On JB Hi-Fi's Profit Performance JB Hi-Fi's accrual ratio is solid, and indicates strong free cash flow, as we discussed, above. Based on this observation, we consider it likely that JB Hi-Fi's statutory profit actually understates its earnings potential! And the EPS is up 5.4% over the last twelve months. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. While it's really important to consider how well a company's statutory earnings represent its true earnings power, it's also worth taking a look at what analysts are forecasting for the future. Luckily, you can check out what analysts are forecasting by clicking here. This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of JB Hi-Fi's profit. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. For example, many people consider a high return on equity as an indication of favorable business economics, while others like to 'follow the money' and search out stocks that insiders are buying. While it might take a little research on your behalf, you may find this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with significant insider holdings to be useful.

James Hardie Reports First Quarter FY26 Results;
SYDNEY & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE / ASX : JHX) ("James Hardie" or the "Company"), a leading provider of exterior home and outdoor living solutions, today announced results for its first quarter ending June 30, 2025. Aaron Erter, CEO said, "Our first quarter results were largely as we had anticipated, and reflect an expected normalization of channel inventories, due to moderating growth expectations by customers as uncertainty built throughout April and early May. We remain committed to outperforming market demand over the long term and are employing strategies to deliver on this commitment, notwithstanding near-term conditions. Our actions are centered around our value proposition to customers, and our solid execution against these strategies amplifies our expansive material conversion opportunity. We are resolute in our strategy that is grounded in being homeowner focused, customer and contractor driven. In essence this means that the driving force of our business is our unwavering commitment to delivering winning solutions across the customer value chain." Mr. Erter continued, "AZEK again exceeded guidance, sustaining top line momentum and impressive profitability. For Deck, Rail & Accessories, solid sell-through growth demonstrates the resilient demand profile of the category and TimberTech's strong value proposition. We are working diligently to integrate and deliver on cost and commercial synergies on an accelerated timeline, positioning ourselves to capture the expansive material conversion opportunity ahead and deliver on our long-term value creation commitments to shareholders. Early enthusiastic feedback on our combination with AZEK from dealer customers has been very encouraging, and our confidence in the strategic logic of the combined enterprise is greater than ever. I am so proud of the focus and dedication shown by our One Hardie Team over the last 50 days, and I am confident that together we are elevating James Hardie to be a clear leader in the building products industry." Consolidated Financial Information Segment Business Update and Results North America Fiber Cement Q1 FY26 Q1 FY25 Change North America Fiber Cement (US$ millions) Net Sales 641.8 729.3 (12%) Operating Income 161.2 227.3 (29%) Operating Income Margin 25.1% 31.2% (610bps) Adjusted EBITDA 205.8 263.4 (22%) Adjusted EBITDA Margin 32.1% 36.1% (400bps) Expand Net sales decreased (12%), due primarily to lower volumes driven by soft market demand and inventory management by our customers, partially offset by an increase in average net sales price. Volume declines were similar across Single-Family Exteriors and Interiors, while Multi-Family volumes grew modestly. Single-Family Exteriors declined primarily due to a softening outlook for new construction across the South, where James Hardie has built strong leadership positions with large homebuilders in key long-term growth markets like Texas, Florida and Georgia. Housing markets in these geographies have been especially impacted in the near term by affordability challenges and elevated housing inventory. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased (400bps) to 32.1%, due to unfavorable production cost absorption associated with lower volumes in addition to unfavorable raw materials, partially offset by a higher average net sales price and Hardie Operating System (HOS) savings. In North America, the Company remains committed to delivering a superior value proposition to customers and a leading margin profile to support our capital allocation priorities despite near-term market headwinds. James Hardie's significant material conversion opportunity and investments across the North American manufacturing footprint have positioned the Company well to capitalize as the market returns to growth and the long-term housing fundamentals play through. The Company is investing across the value chain and growing its contractor base to capture the repair & remodel opportunity. Similarly, in new construction, efforts to deepen exclusivity and increase trim attachment rates support growth and share gain with large homebuilders. In a clear demonstration of the appreciation for James Hardie's innovative product solutions and unrivaled business support, the Company continues to secure multi-year, national hard siding and trim exclusivity agreements, including with Beazer Homes in July. Net sales decreased (10%), or (8%) in Australian dollars, with an EBITDA margin of 35.4%, an increase of +140bps. For the segment, lower volumes, higher average net sales price and the increase in margins were each primarily attributable to the closure of the Philippines manufacturing operations in August 2024. Australia & New Zealand (ANZ) together saw volume and average net sales price each increase by low single-digits, leading to a mid-single digit increase in net sales in Australian dollars. ANZ EBITDA grew modestly and EBITDA margin was flat as the benefit from top-line growth and HOS savings were offset by increased investment in sales and marketing initiatives. In ANZ, the Company is driving growth through new customer acquisitions and project conversion enabled by customer collaboration. The Company is influencing how homeowners build, and driving growth through Co-Creation and leveraging the James Hardie brand. The teams are innovating to accelerate material conversion with a key focus on new construction, specifically the conversion of brick & masonry. Overall, while market demand remains challenged, the ANZ team is focused on finding further manufacturing efficiencies and driving HOS savings to underpin the segment's consistent profitability. Europe Building Products Net sales increased +7%, or +2% in Euros, driven by higher average net sales price partially offset by lower volumes, with Germany declining low single-digits and the UK growing mid-single digits. EBITDA margin increased +50bps to 16.0%, attributable to a higher average net sales price, as well as lower freight and raw material costs. Higher SG&A expense relates to increased investment in sales teams supporting growth strategies for high-value products. Markets across Europe remain challenged, particularly in Germany, the Company's largest European market, where improvement is anticipated to be more gradual. Growth in high-value products remains a strategic priority, as leveraging a broader and deeper product portfolio should accelerate share gains and customer wins. Therm25 TM fiber gypsum flooring continues to receive praise across the industry, most recently being recognized by Plus X Award across several categories, including innovation, quality and sustainability. The team has a solid plan to expand margins comprised of purposeful investment to drive operating leverage alongside sales growth and HOS savings from the optimization of our production footprint and freight management. Update to Reporting Segments As a result of the closing of The AZEK® Company (AZEK) acquisition on July 1, 2025, beginning with the second quarter of FY26, James Hardie expects to classify its business into four reportable segments: Siding & Trim, consisting of the legacy North America Fiber Cement segment and the acquired Exteriors business from AZEK Deck, Rail & Accessories, consisting of AZEK's Deck, Rail & Accessories business Australia & New Zealand, consisting of the legacy Asia Pacific Fiber Cement segment Europe, consisting of the legacy Europe Building Products segment Outlook FY26 Guidance Speaking to the Company's market outlook, Mr. Erter said, "Presently, demand in both repair & remodel and new construction in North America is challenging. Uncertainty is a common thread throughout conversations with customer and contractor partners. Homeowners are deferring large-ticket remodeling projects like re-siding, and affordability remains the key impediment to improvement in single-family new construction, where more recently, homebuilders are moderating their demand expectations and slowing starts to align their home inventory with a decelerating pace of traffic and sales. In May, we built into our full-year guidance an assumption that end market demand could decline by approximately mid-single digits, driven by expectations for further decline in repair & remodel. Over the course of the summer, single-family new construction activity has been weaker than anticipated and we have adjusted our expectations to account for softer demand. Furthermore, we believe it is prudent to plan for further inventory calibration by our channel partners into the back half of the calendar year. Amidst this dynamic, we are also conservatively expecting to benefit from recent homebuilder exclusivity wins and new product launches more so in FY27 and beyond, rather than in the back half of FY26 as previously planned." Mr. Erter continued, "The material conversion opportunity that lies ahead is substantial. Through our focused strategies and organic investments, we have bolstered our leadership position to benefit disproportionately as the industry continues to move away from installing wood and vinyl siding. Now, with the acquisition of AZEK, we have greatly expanded our overall material conversion opportunity, establishing a comprehensive offering of exterior home and outdoor living solutions that will drive sustained above-market growth over the long-term." Rachel Wilson, CFO, added with respect to financial guidance, "We continue to navigate a dynamic near-term environment while also remaining focused on scaling the organization and investing where we see returns to drive long-term profitable growth. For FY26, we are issuing guidance that now reflects three quarters of inorganic contribution from AZEK in addition to the organic James Hardie business. Note: All guidance includes a partial-year contribution from the AZEK acquisition which was incorporated into James Hardie results beginning at closing on July 1, 2025. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. FY26 Free Cash Flow guidance includes an estimated ~$315mm of incremental Interest Expense and Transaction & Integration costs related to the AZEK acquisition. Cash Flow, Capital Investment & Allocation Operating cash flow totaled $207 million for the first quarter of FY26, driven by net income, adjusted for non-cash items of $205 million and lower working capital of $84 million, partially offset by $29 million of asbestos claims and handling costs paid. Capital expenditures were $103 million. During Q1 FY26, the Company invested $25 million related to capacity expansion, primarily related to our new Prattville ColorPlus® facility and brownfield expansion of our fiber gypsum facility in Orejo, Spain, both of which are expected to be completed in Q2 FY26. For FY26, the Company estimates total capital expenditures will be approximately $400 million, which includes AZEK expenditures of approximately $75 million. During Q1 FY26, in anticipation of closing the AZEK transaction the Company used $291 million to repay its existing term loan and announced the successful syndication of new credit facilities including a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and $2.5 billion senior secured Term Loan A, which reduced commitments under the Company's bridge facility at the time. In connection with issuing the new credit facilities, the Company also entered into a $1.0 billion interest rate swap to both increase interest rate certainty and lower interest expense. Also during the quarter, the Company successfully closed $1.7 billion of senior secured notes, with the proceeds placed into escrow. At the end of the quarter, the credit facilities were undrawn, the notes were included in long-term debt and the proceeds from the notes were accounted for in restricted cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. Subsequent to the end of Q1 FY26, on July 1st the Company successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of AZEK. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company drew on its Term Loan A and used cash on hand and the proceeds from the senior secured notes to repay AZEK's outstanding debt and satisfy the cash consideration component of the transaction. To satisfy the stock component of the transaction, the company also issued 148.9 million shares of common stock to AZEK shareholders. The transaction increased total shares outstanding to approximately 580 million, and increased the company's long-term debt to approximately $5.1 billion, including $2.5 billion of Term Loan A, $1.7 billion of senior secured notes and $0.9 billion of other notes outstanding prior to the transaction. The Company did not draw on its revolving credit facility in connection with the closing of the transaction.

Cautionary Note and Use of Non-GAAP Measures This Earnings Release includes financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), such as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent GAAP measure. Management has included such measures to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations and excludes the impact of certain legacy items, such as asbestos adjustments, or significant non-recurring items, such as asset impairments, restructuring expenses, acquisition and pre-close financing related costs, as well as adjustments to tax expense. Additionally, management uses such non-GAAP financial measures for the same purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company's competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. A reconciliation of these adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this Earnings Release below. The Company is unable to forecast the comparable US GAAP financial measure for future periods due to, amongst other factors, uncertainty regarding the impact of actuarial estimates on asbestos-related assets and liabilities in future periods. This Earnings Release contains forward-looking statements and information that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of James Hardie to be materially different from those expressed or implied in this release, including, among others, the risks and uncertainties set forth in Section 3 "Risk Factors" in James Hardie's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025; changes in general economic, political, governmental and business conditions globally and in the countries in which James Hardie does business; changes in interest rates; changes in inflation rates; changes in exchange rates; the level of construction generally; changes in cement demand and prices; changes in raw material and energy prices; changes in business strategy; the AZEK acquisition and various other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. James Hardie assumes no obligation to update or correct the information contained in this Earnings Release except as required by law.
