  "summary": "Chorus reported stronger full-year results for FY 2026, with EBITDA rising 3% to NZD 726 million and net profit jumping to NZD 37 million from NZD 4 million a year earlier. Operating cash flow increased 4% to NZD 740 million, while fiber connections climbed 3% to more than 1.1 million. The stock was little changed in recent trading at $9.55, down 0.1% from the previous close of $9.56, suggesting investors viewed the results as solid but not a major surprise.",
