  • Ayrburn Screen Hub gained approval on 14 April 2026, adding higher-margin recurring revenue.

What critics are saying

  • Sunfield drew an appeal on 10 April 2026, delaying cash conversion and construction timing.
  • July 2026 employment ruling exceeded NZ$100,000, and Chris Meehan's resignation signals governance strain.

What makes Winton unique
