Vinyl Group’s Funkified Unit Smashes Earn-Out, Underscoring Acquisition Strategy

Jaxsta Limited ( (AU:VNL) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Vinyl Group’s media events subsidiary Funkified Entertainment has exceeded its CY25 earn-out target, delivering 155% of the AUD 500,000 EBIT threshold agreed at acquisition, driven by strong performance in end-to-end events and brand activations, including large-scale experiential and automotive programs in late 2025. The earn-out will be settled through AUD 500,000 in Vinyl Group shares, subject to 12 months’ escrow, and the result is being positioned by management as evidence that the group’s vertical acquisition strategy—focused on integrating profitable, complementary businesses—can translate into higher margins, enhanced capabilities and scalable earnings growth for shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:VNL) stock is a Hold with a A$0.08 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Jaxsta Limited stock, see the AU:VNL Stock Forecast page.
