An announcement from Megaport ( (AU:MP1) ) is now available.

Megaport reported a strong rise in half-year revenue to $134.9 million, up 26%, with gross profit climbing 31% and EBITDA increasing 28%, but the group swung to a net loss after tax of $19.1 million versus a small profit a year earlier, and no interim dividend was declared. The company’s net tangible asset backing per share fell sharply year on year, while it broadened its infrastructure and geographic reach by acquiring Latitude.sh, a compute platform offering automated access to dedicated servers, and Extreme IX, an Indian internet exchange operator, underscoring a strategic push into higher-value compute and interconnection services that could reshape its competitive position in global cloud networking.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:MP1) stock is a Hold with a A$11.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Megaport stock, see the AU:MP1 Stock Forecast page.
