    What did Centuria Capital Group report?

    • FY26 ONPAT: $113.8 million, up from $100.8 million in FY25

    What else do investors need to know?

    Centuria strengthened its platform during FY26 by acquiring the Arrow Primary Infrastructure Fund and completing Australia’s largest single-asset industrial fund, as well as its first Sydney CBD office asset in a decade. The Group’s diversification aims to align investments with evolving investor preferences.

    ResetData, Centuria’s AI infrastructure joint venture, accelerated its deployment of GPU capacity, signing a deal with CDC Data Centres and securing $165 million in project financing. Management highlighted a 250MW+ pipeline for future data centre expansion, laying groundwork for expected revenue growth from AI and digital services.

    A sizeable $300 million equity raise in the second half boosted liquidity, supporting both growth in real estate and scaling the ResetData JV. Centuria’s sustainability focus continued, aiming for 100% renewable electricity and strong employee engagement.

    What did Centuria Capital Group management say?

    John McBain, Centuria Joint CEO, said:

    Centuria’s strong FY26 results are underpinned by the Group’s increased real estate activity over the period. Despite the prevailing economic and geopolitical conditions, these results were delivered through both organic acquisition growth and inorganic growth with the acquisition of the Arrow Primary Infrastructure Fund (“Arrow”), strengthening the diversification and capability of our platform.

    What’s next for Centuria Capital Group?

    Looking ahead, Centuria has provided FY27 guidance for ONPAT of $130 million, a 14% increase over FY26, and maintains a DPS forecast of 10.4 cents per security. The company expects EBIT to grow around 20%, powered by further real estate acquisitions and expansion of its AI infrastructure operations.

    Management believes that the enlarged capital base and continued rollout of ResetData’s powered AI services will drive new customer revenue, with the growth impact expected to be most visible in the latter half of FY27 and into FY28.

  • Tasmea posts strong FY26 earnings, upgrades FY27 guidance

    Happy shareholders clap and smile as they listen to a company earnings report.

    The Tasmea Ltd (ASX: TEA) share price is in focus after the company reported FY26 results that comfortably beat guidance, with underlying EBIT of $118.1 million and underlying NPAT up 42% to $73.7 million.

    What did Tasmea report?

    • Revenue surged 136% year over year to $1,293.3 million
    • Underlying EBIT jumped 54% to $118.1 million, exceeding the $117 million forecast
    • Underlying NPAT rose 42% to $73.7 million
    • Final fully franked dividend of 8.5 cents per share; full year dividends up 32% (excluding specials)
    • Operating cash flow climbed 126% to $147.1 million, representing 125% conversion of EBIT
    • Strong organic EBIT growth of 18% across all segments

    What else do investors need to know?

    Tasmea’s programmatic acquisition strategy continues to drive its expansion, with further specialist acquisitions in the pipeline. The company completed the WorkPac, Maxim Group, and JPS Group transactions, increasing exposure to key growth thematics such as data centres and energy infrastructure.

    Segment results were robust, with electrical EBIT up 33% to $50.2 million, civil rising 81% to $32 million, and workforce solutions contributing after the December 2025 WorkPac acquisition. Tasmea remains highly cash generative, with a disciplined capital allocation—46.6% effective dividend payout, and net debt to pro-forma EBITDA sitting at just 0.4x at year-end.

    The group’s recurring maintenance services and customer diversification underpin a resilient, low-risk business model. Demand from industries like mining, resources, and infrastructure continued to support growth, and a strong contract win rate further de-risked FY27 earnings.

    What did Tasmea management say?

    Managing Director & Founder Stephen Young said:

    Demand for our specialist services is as high as we have ever experienced.

    What’s next for Tasmea?

    Looking ahead, Tasmea has upgraded its FY27 underlying EBITA guidance to a range of $205 million to $210 million, with NPATA forecast between $130 million and $133 million. The revenue pipeline is at a record level of visibility, with approximately 90% already secured, recurring, or under tender.

    Management will continue its “twin pillar” strategy—organic growth and targeted acquisitions—to build scale across diversified segments. The company is focused on further contract wins in high-growth sectors including data centres, mining, and infrastructure, and aims to maintain strong returns on capital.

    Tasmea Limited share price snapshot

    Over the past 12 months, Tasmea shares have risen 124%, outperforming the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) by a significant margin.
