Australian fintech lender Wisr (ASX:WZR) jumped 23.9% to 2.9¢ in early trading after it posted a record fourth quarter and guided to at least $5 million in cash net profit after tax for fiscal 2027.
The company delivered its inaugural full-year cash NPAT profit in FY26 of $1 million. Loan originations in the June quarter hit a record $198.1 million, up 41% from a year earlier. Quarterly revenue rose 26% to $30 million. The loan book closed the year at $1,084 million, a 32% increase.
CEO Andrew Goodwin said the company exceeded all four guidance metrics.
"These results reflect continued strong demand and consistent execution across both personal and secured vehicle loans. "Importantly, this growth was achieved alongside continued improvement in credit performance. Ninety-day arrears improved by 39 basis points to 1.01%, reflecting our disciplined credit settings and robust arrears management."
The FY27 guidance of at least $5 million cash NPAT implies a fivefold increase from the FY26 result of $1 million.
Blue Star Helium (ASX:BNL) rose 10.0% to 0.6¢ after it delivered a second helium trailer from the Galactica project in Colorado.
Managing director Trent Spry said the project is ramping toward the plant's full design capacity through debottlenecking, drilling additional development wells, and deepening existing wells.
"This delivery under our offtake agreement confirms Blue Star's shift from initial spot sales to contracted, reliable supply into the US domestic helium market. This occurs at a time when dependable, in-country supply commands a real premium for US users."
Spry said the company is also working on a commercial solution for the significant CO2 output from the project, which would add a secondary revenue stream.
DroneShield (ASX:DRO) was down in trading despite receiving a package of contracts worth $23.2 million from a reseller for delivery to a European military end-customer.
The two contracts cover vehicle-mountable counter-drone solutions, including hardware, subscriptions, warranties and services.
CEO and managing director Angus Bean said the awards validate the company's investment in its European operations.
"These awards demonstrate the strength of our regional partnerships and the relevance of DroneShield's technology in complex military environments."
The broader ASX 200 fell 27.4 points on the session.
