  "summary": "Judo Bank reported a significant increase in its H2 2026 profit, with earnings per share rising 29% to AUD 0.099, driven by stronger lending growth, wider margins, and tighter cost control. The Australian SME lender's pre-provision profit climbed 42% to AUD 286 million, exceeding expectations and pointing to a more sustainable earnings trajectory. The stock rose 9.02% to $1 following the earnings call, trading above its 52-week range and suggesting potential undervaluation relative to its growth prospects.",
