Sydney, February 2, 2026, 16:46 AEDT — After-hours
- PLS Group shares rose 2.3% to close at A$4.39, defying the broader local market slump.
- The company scheduled its FY26 interim (half-year) results and an investor webcast/call for Feb. 19.
- Traders are turning to that update for insight into prices, costs, and cash amid the lithium market’s volatility.
PLS Group Limited shares ended Monday 2.3% higher, closing at A$4.39. The Australian Securities Exchange-listed lithium producer ranked among the day’s top movers by trading value.
This move is crucial as the company has now set its sights on the next major milestone: the FY26 interim results. Investors often rely on this half-year report to adjust earnings forecasts and assess the robustness of the balance sheet.
The broader market slipped, with the S&P/ASX 200 closing roughly 1% lower. PLS stood out as one of the few gainers heading into the final bell. (MarketScreener)
In an ASX announcement on Monday, the company confirmed its FY26 interim results will drop Thursday, 19 February 2026. It also plans to hold an investor webcast and call that same day. (Market Index Data API)
The briefing kicks off at 6:00 a.m. AWST (9:00 a.m. AEDT). Retail investors can join via webcast, while a separate teleconference line is available for professional investors and media, the release noted. A recording will be available soon after.
PLS bills itself as a global lithium materials producer, operating the Pilgangoora mine in Australia and the Colina Lithium Project in Brazil. It also runs a lithium hydroxide JV with POSCO in South Korea. Partners named include Ganfeng Lithium, Chengxin Lithium, Yahua Group, and General Lithium.
With Tuesday’s session approaching, focus is set on positioning ahead of the Feb. 19 release. Traders will be watching closely to see if Monday’s relative strength can hold up, especially as materials stocks continue to face pressure.
Lithium-linked shares can turn on a dime: a shift in spot prices, a wary note on costs, or any sign demand is easing can weigh on sentiment even before the data arrives.
Next up is Feb. 19 — the date for the interim results release and briefing. Investors will be watching closely for fresh insights on realised pricing, unit costs, and cash flow, along with any guidance management provides for the remainder of FY26.
