Fiscal 2026 revenue fell
HMC Capital's latest reported year sets a weaker earnings backdrop against the higher analyst target. Fiscal 2026 revenue was AUD 232.4 million, down 3.60 percent from fiscal 2025, while net income was AUD 18.9 million, down 87.00 percent, according to Simply Wall St on August 26, 2026. The reported profit margin was 8.10 percent, compared with 61.00 percent in fiscal 2025.
Price remains below the yearly high
On October 16, 2026, the ASX quote ranged from AUD 2.65 to AUD 2.75, with 1,304,579 shares traded against an average volume of 1,208,060 shares. The AUD 2.73 price stood 40.91 percent below the 52-week high of AUD 4.62 and 26.39 percent above the 52-week low of AUD 2.16. The 4.60 percent daily rise therefore improved the short-term position without erasing the wider annual decline.
