ABB -Aussie Broadband Limited today closed up 19% to finish at $4.53 on $40m stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they released its half yearly results which highlighted a 17.7% increase in revenue to $445.9m.
The diverse nature of the business contributed to the overall result, with residential, business, and wholesale segments all reporting double-digit revenue growth.
Overall, gross margins increased to $154.3 million, up 16.7% on the prior corresponding period.
ABB is also on track to complete the acquisition of Symbio Holdings which will provide cloud-based voice and messaging capabilities.
Plenty of synergies in that acquisition I would have thought but as I am no telco analist nor can work my phone that well, don't take my word for it.
Some highlights on today's news are listed below:
