Vincents

The 2026 Australian reporting season has delivered a mixed set of results, with some sectors showing renewed strength while others face growing pressure.

In the latest episode of Making Cents of it All, Kenneth Beanland and Louis Dooley look at what company earnings, margins and FY27 guidance are revealing about the outlook for investors.

They discuss the rebound in healthcare, continued strength across parts of resources, pressure on financials, property and discretionary retail, and why market reactions to company results are becoming increasingly pronounced.

They also share how they are assessing opportunities that emerge after companies report and where they remain selective.

Last week, the Vincents Restructuring & Recovery team joined WIRQ at the 2026 Great Debate at Blackbird Brisbane.

There was plenty of humour in this year’s topic, “Bankruptcy is the ultimate life hack”, along with some spirited discussion from the panel.

It was a great night connecting with colleagues across the profession. Thank you WIRQ for another successful Great Debate.

Our team had a wonderful afternoon at the Housing Industry Association - HIA Building Women Luncheon at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, joining leaders, builders and change-makers from across the construction industry for an afternoon of connection and conversation around diversity and opportunity in the industry.

We are proud to continue our partnership with HIA and looking forward to the Gold Coast & Northern Rivers Housing Awards later this month.

We were pleased to have the opportunity to host a table at the Annual Charity Lunch in support of HELP last Friday.

More than 500 members of the local business community came together at The Star Brisbane to support HELP’s work creating employment opportunities and ongoing support for people with disability. Guests also heard from keynote speakers Tom Rockliff, David Shillington and Shannon Mato, who shared insights and experiences from their careers in professional sport.

It was great to see our team come together in support of an important local cause and connect with others from across the Brisbane business community.

A great first step into life at Vincents.

Last week, Shannon Walker and Carissa Lacey from our Forensic Commercial team attended the ACT Law Society's 2026 Family Law Conference in Canberra.

The full-day conference brought together leading family law practitioners and judicial figures from across the ACT, covering key developments in case law, court processes, property matters and ethical decision-making.

It was a great opportunity to connect with the family law community and contribute to a day of valuable learning and professional development.

Thank you to the ACT Law Society's Family Law Committee for hosting another excellent event. It was a privilege to continue our support of the conference.

Last Friday, our Restructuring & Recovery team attended the Australian Institute of Credit Management - AICM Queensland Women in Credit Luncheon at Rivershed and Deck. They were joined by professionals from across the credit industry for an afternoon of connection and inspiration.

This year's event, themed Balance and Bloom, featured a keynote from Ruth Kent of Sunrise Well, who shared practical insights on wellbeing and mindfulness that resonated across the room.

Thanks AICM for having us.
