Latest Qoria (ASX:QOR) News

Wild swings hit the ASX this week, with Janus Electric doubling, Aura sliding almost 30%, and TechGen jumping more than 22%. Big news kept landing, but many stocks still fell as early gains faded and traders locked in profits.

Small-cap tech trading split into two clear camps this week: profit-backed winners and capital-raising laggards. Big contracts, rising recurring revenue and a major takeover kept money flowing into selected names.

Qoria Limited has been acquired by Aura Consolidated Group through a scheme of arrangement, with shareholders exchanging their Qoria shares for Aura CHESS Depositary Interests. Aura has also successfully raised US$100 million to support the acquisition, while Qoria prepares for ASX delisting.

Mining news drove the week, with drilling hits, funding wins and takeover bids pushing several small and mid-cap names sharply higher or lower. The biggest swings came from tin, platinum group metals and copper, while gold M&A in WA stayed at the centre of trading.

Capital raisings, platform wins and dividend increases drove the busiest moves in financial stocks this week. Centuria slid after new equity hit the tape, while Netwealth climbed on a larger Morgan Stanley deal and CD Private Equity rose on an early asset sale.

Small-cap tech delivered a split screen this week. Contract wins, capital raisings and takeover steps pushed several stocks higher, while weaker sales and heavy dilution fears hit others hard. The biggest swing came from 8common, while Atomos and FirstWave led the falls for very different reasons.

Qoria Limited’s acquisition by Aura Consolidated Group has become legally effective following Federal Court approval, with Qoria shares suspended and Aura CHESS Depositary Interests set for issuance in mid-July.

The Federal Court has given the green light to Aura Consolidated Group’s takeover of Qoria Limited, setting the stage for a share suspension on ASX and the start of Aura CDIs trading next week.

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.

Qoria Limited and Aura Consolidated Group have fixed the exchange ratio for their proposed merger, with shareholders to receive one Aura CDI for every 17.32 Qoria shares. Aura’s US$100 million capital raise values Qoria shares at A$0.40 each, positioning Qoria shareholders to hold nearly a third of the merged entity.

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.

Qoria Limited has dispatched its Scheme Booklet to shareholders detailing the proposed acquisition by Aura Consolidated Group. While the independent expert finds the deal not fair but reasonable, Qoria’s board unanimously recommends approval, pending no superior proposal.
