Key financial results
NextDC (ASX:NXT)
NextDC's first-half (H1) 2025 results met market expectations, maintaining its full-year guidance. The company increased contract and billing utilisation with significant developments at data centres S3, M2, and M3.
To align with shareholder goals, NextDC introduced a growth incentive plan for executives based on share price performance over five years. This plan aims to double or triple the company's size, addressing the high demand for talent in the data centre industry.
Ampol (ASX:ALD)
Ampol cut its full-year dividend to $0.65 per share due to a net profit drop to $122.5 million, affected by weaker refining margins and maintenance at the Lytton plant.
Annual revenue fell to $34.9 billion from $37.75 billion. Chief executive officer (CEO) Matt Halliday expects global refinery conditions to improve and resolve Lytton disruptions within the year. Ampol's shares decreased by 2.6%.
Ooh!Media (ASX:OML)
OohMedia reported full-year earnings of nearly $287 million on revenue just under $636 million, with a statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) of $37 million. Following poor H1 results, the company implemented a cost efficiency program, boosting second-half (H2) momentum.
OohMedia captured up to 15% of media spend in the Standard Media Index (SMI), reflecting a structural shift in advertising. As the largest player in the sector, the company aims to leverage market positioning for growth.
