The ASX has been rife with takover interest in recent weeks, and we think ABB is an another increasingly attractive takeover candidate, with its growing scale, recurring revenues and improving earnings profile making it a logical target for both private equity and larger telecommunications players.
ABB -6.53%: delivered a mildly softer than hoped FY26 result this morning, with underlying earnings (EBITDA) slightly ahead of expectations but revenue and profit softer, while a weaker start to FY27 in wholesale connections took some gloss off the update.
Although ABB’s H1 FY26 was a mixed bag in February, covered here, the underlying growth narrative remains in play. Aussie Broadband's core business remains the resale of NBN services, with management targeting further market share gains and an ambition to become Australia's third-largest NBN provider by the end of 2026. ABB grew NBN market share by 20 basis points in Q1 FY26, adding around 16,000 subscribers, while strategically holding headline prices flat to protect volume.
ABB –2.7%: delivered a mixed first-half result, with solid operational momentum offset by softer headline profit and one-off items, while management narrowed full-year EBITDA guidance toward the midpoint.
ABB: +14.79% rallied sharply today after announcing it will acquire AGL’s telecommunications business in a deal that strengthens its customer base and is expected to be earnings accretive within 12 months. The stock posted its biggest gain since August 2023 - up 20% at the highs before tapering off - as investors backed the strategic logic and earnings upside from the deal.
ABB delivered a solid trading update in October, but as so often happens with stocks that have run hard, it wasn’t enough, and the stock has drifted lower since. Changes in regulated rates for voice-interconnection services in late December have also led to small downgrades, primarily around cash flow. However, the stock is now trading slightly on the cheap side of the ledger and remain medium term bulls on their prospects.
ABB -3.11%: Hosted their AGM today and also provided a trading update.
ABB +20.18%: A strong set of numbers for the telco this morning delivering revenue broadly in line with expectations a slight beat to earnings though the sweetener was the divestment of Buddy Telco.
ABB +3.92%: Good result, upgraded FY guidance and announced a (small) special dividend.
ABB +4.75%: Announced plans for an on-market share buyback of up to 10% of its issued capital over the next year, which is ~27m shares worth around $100m, with the buyback starting post half year results on the 25th Feb.
