ALS Limited (CA00765F1018) gained to AUD 21.37 on September 18, 2026, while MarketScreener reported that BlackRock lifted its stake to 5 percent. The same page showed a 5-day move of 1.47 percent and a year-to-date decline of 3.04 percent, with the stock closing in Australia at AUD 21.06 on the prior session.

BlackRock stake drives the name

MarketScreener published the 5 percent holding report on September 18, 2026, and also showed 13 analysts with an Accumulate consensus and a mean target of AUD 24.28. That leaves the stock 15.31 percent below the average target, a gap that now matters more than the single-day move.

ALS Limited reported on May 18, 2026, that revenue and underlying earnings both increased for the year ended March 31, 2026, and the company also said it was targeting mid to high single-digit organic revenue growth into fiscal 2027. MarketScreener's company timeline also listed May 18, 2026, as the date of the annual earnings release and a dividend announcement for the half-year ended March 31, 2026, due July 3, 2026.

Analysts still see upside

The latest available consensus on the same MarketScreener page points to 13 analysts, an Accumulate rating and a AUD 24.28 average target as of September 18, 2026. For investors, the combination of a 5 percent shareholder update and a target 15.31 percent above the last close is the clearest current signal.

Price and level

ALS stock traded at AUD 21.37 on September 18, 2026, after a prior close of AUD 21.06. The stock was therefore 3.04 percent lower year to date, even after the latest stake news.
