Aspen Group lifts earnings and development momentum as affordable housing demand stays strong

Aspen Group Limited ( (AU:APZ) ) has issued an announcement.

Aspen Group reported strong nine-month results to 31 March 2026, with net rental income up 20%, development profit up 153% and pre-tax earnings up 67%, leaving the company on track to meet its FY26 and FY27 earnings targets. Management highlighted robust demand across long-term accommodation, rising residential rents that still sit below local market levels in Perth and at CoVE Upper Mount Gravatt, and resilient short-stay performance led by Darwin Freespirit Resort and Aspen Karratha Village.

Development activity is progressing ahead of plan, with 88% of FY26 development profit guidance already achieved and new stages launched or imminent at Mount Barker, Ravenswood and Paralowie, while fixed-price contracts and largely completed production stages help mitigate construction and cost risks. Aspen enters this period with low gearing of 18%, strong interest cover and flexible options to either rent or sell new dwellings, positioning it to fund organic growth, pursue acquisitions and potentially benefit from further tightening in the affordable housing market.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:APZ) stock is a Buy with a A$5.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Aspen Group Limited stock, see the AU:APZ Stock Forecast page.
