The latest announcement is out from Butn Limited ( (AU:BTN) ).

Butn Limited reported record half-year revenue of $8.2 million for the six months to 31 December 2025, up 15% year-on-year, driven by strong growth in platform originations that climbed 38% to $113.9 million and now represent more than 40% of total origination volumes. Despite stable margins of 3.0% and evidence of operating leverage, the group posted a pre-tax loss of $1.8 million and negative operating cash flow due to one-off costs, while bolstering its capital position with a new $100 million senior debt facility from Northleaf Capital Partners, a $3 million equity placement and board and leadership changes aimed at supporting its growth strategy and governance.

The new debt facility replaces existing corporate notes, extends funding maturities and provides scalable capacity to underpin future expansion in SME funding as management prioritises disciplined cost control, platform scaling and capital efficiency. Governance was further strengthened through the transition of co-CEO Walter Rapoport from his executive and board roles and the appointment of independent non-executive director Stanley Gordon, ensuring leadership continuity and a majority-independent board aligned with the company’s growth trajectory.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:BTN) stock is a Hold with a A$0.05 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Butn Limited stock, see the AU:BTN Stock Forecast page.
