HighCom to Raise Up to A$8m for Growth and Manufacturing Upgrades

XTEK Limited ( (AU:HCL) ) just unveiled an announcement.

HighCom Limited has secured binding commitments from sophisticated and professional investors to raise about A$7m through a two‑tranche placement of roughly 35m new shares at A$0.20, a discount to recent trading prices, with directors also subscribing subject to shareholder approval. The company will run a non‑underwritten share purchase plan to raise up to a further A$1m from eligible Australian and New Zealand shareholders at the same issue price.

Proceeds from the capital raising will be directed toward funding production growth to support sales in key markets, manufacturing upgrades and facility investments, as well as ongoing product development to reinforce HighCom’s technology leadership. The placement, led by Henslow and Morgans Corporate, strengthens the balance sheet and is intended to position the company to capture growing demand for its ballistic protection solutions through the second half of FY26 and beyond.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:HCL) stock is a Hold with a A$0.32 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on XTEK Limited stock, see the AU:HCL Stock Forecast page.
