EQT

Cleanaway shares rose 4.1% to A$2.675 after EQT Infrastructure ended the exclusivity period and confirmed its takeover offer. EQT reported no adverse findings from due diligence and did not lower the offer price; both parties are working on an implementation agreement, but a binding signing has not yet taken place. Additional buying interest was driven by the record date for the fully franked final dividend of 3.50 cents (payable 8 October 2026), which is 14.2% higher than last year. Cleanaway reported adjusted EBIT of about A$470m, up 14.2%, supported by growth in waste services and the integration of Contract Resources. » Więcej na de.investing.com
