NXT –2.64%: A mixed result for the data centre operative today with a strong FY23 in the books but they guided lower for FY24 than consensus, initially pushing shares sharply lower, however, an explanation of the miss (investing in capacity) will ultimately have a positive impact on growth in outer years, which caused the stock to rebound. Data services revenue came in at $362m, up 25% YoY strong relative to $355m consensus and guidance of $350-360m, underlying EBITDA was inline and no dividend was declared, all as per programmed. They said FY24 underlying EBITDA would be $190-200m versus consensus of $210m, which was the issue, however higher costs will drive better growth in FY24 and beyond.
- A solid result from NXT, they’re simply spending more to take advantage of the opportunity in front of them.
