NEXTDC LTD

NextDC shares surged about 42–43% after Goodman Group and Digital Realty conducted an aftermarket bookbuild seeking shares at A$9.50 to acquire up to 9.9% stakes. NextDC said the move was "opportunistic" and came two weeks after a power supply delay at its M3 Melbourne data centre and a revision to fiscal 2027 guidance; the company said it was unaware of the outcome. Goodman and Digital Realty stated they have no current intention to make a takeover bid but reserved the right, and the rally contrasted with a sell-off in US data-centre stocks following Democratic midterm wins. » Más en cnbc.com

NextDC announces that the build-out of power supply for a major project near Melbourne will be delayed until 2027 and that pending approvals are now expected later; as a result, revenue guidance falls by around a quarter and expected earnings by about a third. The news sent the share price tumbling 44%, although the company still holds high cash reserves. The warning comes amid a period of high market uncertainty for AI data centers, amplified by a Gartner report that forecasts the demise of 80% of specialized neoclouds by 2030 and has already led to price crashes, postponed IPOs and financing problems. » Más en manager-magazin.de

NEXTDC delivered record results in fiscal year 2026: revenue AUD 405 million, reported total revenue AUD 496.5 million and adjusted EBITDA AUD 248.8 million, roughly 4% above the top end of guidance.
