StarHub Ltd

CC3.SI Q2 2026

Reported: 2026-08-17

StarHub’s shares were little changed, edging up 0.9% as investors digested mixed earnings with ongoing consumer market challenges partly offset by solid enterprise growth and strategic brand segmentation. The market reacted cautiously given persistent headwinds in consumer pricing and competitive pressure despite some positive momentum in enterprise managed services.

Key takeaways

Consumer segment faces corrosive competition with continued downgrading of plans, pressuring overall industry ARPU despite efforts to migrate subscribers onto higher-value 5G+ plans.
Multi-brand strategy progressing with StarHub (premium), Giga (digital), and Eight (value)—Eight shows strong year-on-year growth but is in a downmarket segment.
Broadband consolidation continues with full acquisition of MyRepublic and migration of its 4G subscribers boosting scale.
Enterprise revenue trends positive with 5% growth overall and 24% growth in managed services, led by a 50% increase in multi-year order book value.
Regulatory changes reducing structural cost advantages for smaller competitors may support longer-term market sustainability but have yet to improve near-term consumer segment dynamics.

KULR Q2 2026

Reported: 2026-08-17

Execution struggled due to overloaded resources and management bandwidth consumed by board and leadership changes.
The Texas production facility was not yet operational in Q2, delaying capacity expansion and negatively affecting manufacturing output.
Management is prioritizing core business focus, has exited Bitcoin mining and repaid debt, and expects better execution and capacity utilization starting in Q3.

Orora Limited

ORA.AX Q4 2026

Reported: 2026-08-17

Orora’s shares dropped 3.6% following earnings, driven primarily by a disappointing impairment charge on the Glass CGU and continuing pressure on Saverglass margins and pricing, which offset solid performance in Cans and operational efficiencies in Gawler.

Key takeaways

Orora recorded a noncash EUR 450 million impairment of the Glass CGU, reflecting delayed consumer demand recovery and geopolitical headwinds impacting earnings.
EBITDA remained largely flat at $240 million, with growth in Cans and Gawler offset by a 9% decline in Saverglass EBITDA due to weaker pricing and mix.
Cans volumes grew 6.3%, supported by capacity expansions and substrate shifts, driving a 15% increase in Cans EBITDA excluding corporate cost allocations.
Gawler volume declined 2%, but EBITDA and EBIT increased double digits thanks to efficiencies from a two-furnace operation and lower energy consumption.
Underlying NPAT declined 6% to $142 million, with EBIT down 5%, and a cautious outlook constrained by ongoing market softness in premium glass segments.

Sampo Oyj

SAMPO.HE Q2 2026

Reported: 2026-08-17

Sampo’s shares edged up by 1.5% following Q2 results that showed steady but unspectacular growth and margin stability. While management raised full-year guidance, the market’s modest reaction suggests cautious optimism given some emerging claims volatility and a competitive UK environment.

Key takeaways

Insurance revenues grew 5% like-for-like in Q2, driven by strong contributions from Private Nordic (+5%), UK (+7.6%), and Nordic Commercial (+8.6%) segments.
Operating EPS increased 6% in Q2 and 12% in H1, supported by disciplined underwriting and cost efficiencies.
Investment portfolio rebounded sharply, producing net gains of EUR 240 million in Q2, partially offsetting Q1 losses.
Solvency ratio remains robust at 174%, despite widening symmetric adjustments nearing regulatory limits.
Full-year outlook was lifted, targeting 7–9% revenue growth and 4–9% underwriting result growth, though claims from a large residential fire in Norway and competitive UK pricing pose risks.
