Dyno Nobel stock (ISIN AU0000390544) was trading at AUD 4.04 on the ASX on October 8, 2026, at 10:39 a.m. AEDT, up 0.12 percent from the prior close. The company has unveiled an autonomous blasting system that is moving toward trials in the United States.

Autonomous blasting enters trials

According to Dyno Nobel on September 30, 2026, its Autonomous Bench technology can coordinate blast-hole inspection and loading from a control center away from high-risk zones.

The prototype was developed through five years of research and development and is scheduled for trials with Mariana Minerals at Copper One in Utah. Dyno Nobel plans a staged rollout through mid-2027, giving the technology a defined commercial timetable rather than leaving it as a laboratory project.

Guidance sets the earnings test

At the September 16, 2026, investor day, Dyno Nobel reaffirmed FY26 group NPAT guidance of AUD 325 million to AUD 340 million and explosives EBIT guidance of AUD 480 million to AUD 490 million, according to Middle.

The same update set an underlying EBIT ambition of AUD 800 million for FY31, compared with an existing AUD 600 million ambition for FY28. It also identified AUD 480 million to AUD 490 million of FY26 explosives EBIT as the nearer operating milestone, making delivery of the current range more important than the longer-term ambition.
