Fletcher Building says it's not out of the woods yet, but their financial situation is improving.

It recorded an $11 million half-year loss  - down from $134 million the year before.

Earnings are out of the red at $45 million, compared to $-88 million the year before.

Chief executive Andrew Reding says they'll take a while to get back on track.  

"We're not forecasting great times for our financial year 2026, and indeed think that the calendar year 2027 is when things are lined up and moving properly."

US President Donald Trump is pushing ahead with another round of global tariffs, just a day after being told last year’s levies were illegal.

In a post on social media, Trump confirmed he’ll lift the tariffs to 15 percent, higher than the 10 percent rate he announced yesterday.

The move comes after a Supreme Court ruling found his sweeping trade measures from last year were unlawful.

Former US Under Secretary of Commerce and Security Bill Reinsch says this will make it harder for Trump to threaten and bully other countries with even higher tariffs.

"He won't be able to do that anymore, and I think that's why he's really unhappy. It's also a significant limitation on Presidential power, the real importance of this decision is historic."
