  "summary": "Aurizon Holdings reported a sharp rise in FY 2026 underlying profit, with earnings per share up 29% and underlying EBITDA climbing 9% to AUD 1.7 billion. However, the company's shares fell 9.86% to $3.75 in recent trading, as investors focused on softer FY 2027 coal earnings and ongoing capital spending. The dividend was increased to AUD 0.23 a share, and the company completed a AUD 250 million buyback, extending its record of 16 consecutive years of dividend payments.",
