Latest Megaport (ASX:MP1) News

Megaport has posted a 37% jump in FY26 revenue to $312 million, driven by strategic acquisitions and a broadening platform across compute, network, and storage. The company raised over $1 billion to fund AI-focused contracts and infrastructure growth.

A tiny gold explorer, a battery materials stock and a biotech name led a week packed with dealmaking, drilling news and fresh funding. Resources did most of the heavy lifting, while several big gaps either held firm or gave back part of their early jump.

Big swings hit ASX tech as tiny GCM surged, Objective slumped on a Defence contract loss, and DXN fell despite landing new work. Away from the biggest price moves, the week was packed with raisings, acquisitions and fresh AI, quantum and enterprise contract news.

Megaport has successfully closed the retail portion of its AUD 827 million entitlement offer, raising AUD 308 million through the issuance of 21.6 million new shares priced at AUD 14.30 each. The retail offer's Top Up Facility was oversubscribed and scaled back to allocate all available shares to participating shareholders.

A brutal sell-off in a few small caps sat alongside takeover bids, fresh capital raisings and strong gains in medtech. The week split the market in two: buyers chased clear funding and approval news, while weaker stories sank fast after reopening.

Capital raisings drove the week in ASX tech, with investors backing AI and data centre spending but punishing deep discounts. The biggest moves came from small-cap fundraisings, while AI infrastructure names drew the clearest buying support.

Megaport Limited is raising approximately A$827 million through a fully underwritten entitlement offer to finance four major AI contracts and build an on-demand GPU Pool, aiming to establish a globally-distributed AI inference cloud.

A handful of extreme moves set the tone, from DXN’s explosive AI data centre rerating to steep sell-offs in small-cap explorers. Deals, funding and fresh drilling results drove the week, but several gap-ups lost steam as traders banked profits.

AI infrastructure names drove the biggest moves this week, with DXN exploding higher and Stakk extending its run after a new US healthcare contract. Elsewhere, capital raisings, takeover moves and executive changes kept tech investors busy, while several early gap-ups faded as buying cooled.

Megaport has landed four major AI infrastructure contracts worth A$459 million, fueling its plan to build a globally-distributed AI inference cloud supported by a new A$350 million GPU Pool. The company is raising A$827 million through a fully underwritten entitlement offer to fund these initiatives and future growth.

Capital raisings, resource updates and Medicare news drove the week’s biggest share moves. The sharpest gains came from silver and tungsten juniors, while the heaviest fall came from a deeply discounted equity raising.

Big contract wins and fresh capital drove the strongest gains in local tech, led by FirstWave, Megaport and Aristocrat Leisure. Smaller speculative names were less stable, with several gap re-openings losing steam as investors sold into early excitement.
