Broker moves and upcoming earnings

Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS)

The resources sector faces challenges, as evidenced by Pilbara Minerals' anticipated swing to an underlying loss due to the transition of a processing plant into care and maintenance amid declining lithium prices. Pilbara Minerals expects an underlying net loss after tax between A$5 million and A$7 million, contrasting with its A$273 million profit last year.

These developments highlight the volatility of commodity markets and the impact of price fluctuations on financial performance.

Domino's (ASX:DOMP)

Meanwhile, Domino's, rated as neutral by Citi, is undergoing strategic store closures to enhance efficiency, with expected annual savings of A$16 million from FY 2026. This reflects a trend of operational restructuring to adapt to market conditions and optimise profitability.
