  • Gas producer or data centre company? Why is this ASX energy share up 16%

    Two IT professionals walk along a wall of mainframes in a data centre discussing various things

    Beetaloo Energy Ltd (ASX: BTL) shares took off on Wednesday morning after the company announced the launch of Beetaloo Digital, which will aim to play in the data centre space.

    Diversifying into technology

    The emerging gas producer said in a statement to the ASX that it had been granted an exclusive right to develop an 185-hectare site south of Darwin into an integrated power and data centre development.

    The company added:

    The land has been granted on an exclusive basis, giving Beetaloo Energy the certainty to secure consortium partners and progress pre-FEED studies. The proposed development is intended to accelerate development of Beetaloo Energy’s Beetaloo Basin gas resource, creating a significant and durable domestic market, with the remaining capacity to be underpinned by the continuous energy demand of data centre operations.

    Beetaloo said the site was adjacent to the Northern Territory Government’s proposed Darwin Energy Hub, and had the potential to complement the hub’s planned large-scale solar generation and battery storage by providing firm generation capacity.

    The company added that the proposal had the potential to create a significant new gas market for Beetaloo Energy, with each gigawatt of compute power requiring up to 200 terajoules per day of gas for power generation.

    Beetaloo Energy Managing Director Alex Underwood said:

    The NT Government’s grant of exclusivity over strategically located land at Weddell is a milestone for Beetaloo Energy and for the Northern Territory. The Weddell site gives us a strong foundation to advance discussions with potential consortium partners, scale, proximity to existing and planned infrastructure, and Beetaloo Energy’s significant gas resources. Beetaloo Digital does not propose to consume power from the Northern Territory grid, we intend to add to it. We intend to overbuild gereration capacity, providing the NT the potential to gain a reliable, large-scale baseload electricity source as a direct outcome of this development. As such, this project is aligned with the Prime Minister’s recently announced Data Centre grid mandate requirements. Darwin’s proximity to Asia-Pacific markets, its subsea cable connectivity, and the Northern Territory Government’s backing make this an infrastructure opportunity that we believe is unmatched anywhere in the region.

    Mr Underwood said Beetaloo Digital would be looking for partners for its project across data centre development, power generation, and pipeline infrastructure.

    ASX energy share jumps on the news

    Beetaloo Energy shares jumped 16.7% on the news to 29.75 cents.

    The company also recently confirmed that first gas sales from its pilot project in the NT were expected in the fourth quarter of CY26.

  • Can TPG Telecom shares rebound from an all-time low?

    A woman in her late 30s holds her hands out either side with the palms up as if indicating she doesn't know the answer to a question.

    TPG Telecom Ltd (ASX: TPG) shares have slumped around another 0.5% to a fresh all-time low of $3.50 each in Wednesday trade.

    The telco shares are now down around 9% year to date and 36% lower than this time last year.

    What happened to TPG Telecom shares?

    In November last year, TPG Telecom shares crashed around 33% in a single day in what was the largest one-day share-price fall in the company’s history.

    The share price fell because it traded ex-dividend for a very large capital return to shareholders. 

    TPG had previously sold its fibre assets and Enterprise, Government & Wholesale business to Vocus, receiving about A$4.7 billion in proceeds. It then decided to return A$3 billion of that cash to shareholders. The payment totalled A$1.61 per share.

    On the ex-dividend date (13th of November), anyone buying the shares was no longer entitled to receive the A$1.61 payment. As a result, the market adjusted the share price downward by roughly the value of that distribution.

    While this technically isn’t bad news for investors, it did cause a complete reevaluation of TPG Telecom’s share price value.

    And one that the company has struggled to come back from.

    The shares climbed gradually higher in the first quarter of 2026, but then tumbled again in May and into early June after the company released its first-half results, and investors became concerned about its outlook. 

    At the time, management reaffirmed its FY26 EBITDA guidance of $1,665 million to $1,735 million (up from $1,637 million in FY25). But, they also warned that “EBITDA delivery is anticipated to be weighted to a stronger second-half performance”.

    The question now is whether the company can deliver on its guidance. Can the shares stage a comeback? Or is there more downside ahead?

    Here’s what the experts think.

    Are the shares a buy, sell, or hold?

    Analyst sentiment for TPG Telecom looks to be pretty mixed right now, but there are some bullish outlooks ahead.

    Market Index data shows that the majority of brokers have a hold rating on the stock. But the $3.99 average target price implies a potential 13% upside at the time of writing. 

    Analysts on TradingView are more bullish. The data shows that the majority (seven out of 13) have a buy or strong buy rating on TPG Telecom shares. Another five have a hold rating, and one rates the stock as a strong sell.

    The average $4.02 target price implies a potential 15% upside ahead. Although some forecast that the shares have the potential to jump 31% higher to $4.60 a piece over the next 12 months.

    JP Morgan upgraded its rating on the ASX 200 telecommunications shares last month. The broker has a hold rating and $3.70 target price on the shares, implying a small 6% potential upside ahead.
