Superloop surpasses earnings guidance
In today's market roundup, the spotlight is on Superloop (ASX: SLC), a stock that's been garnering attention with its promising performance. Superloop has just announced an impressive trading update, revealing the addition of over 45,000 new customers in the second half of FY24, complementing the 34,100 added in the first half through acquisitions.
