Highlights:

• Development WIP hits AU$19.7 billion—but data centres now dominate the growth equation.
• Goodman’s 6.4 GW power bank could prove crucial as AI infrastructure demand accelerates.
• FY27 targets 9% OEPS growth, putting execution firmly under the investor spotlight.

FY26 Earnings MomentumGoodman Group (ASX: GMG) reported its FY26 results on 20 August 2026, delivering a sharp improvement in earnings as expanding data centre activity strengthened its development engine. Operating profit climbed 15.7% to AU$2.67 billion, while operating earnings per security (OEPS) increased 10.1% to 129.9 cents. Statutory profit reached AU$2.78 billion.Data Centres Power ExpansionGoodman’s active development pipeline expanded to AU$19.7 billion, spanning 50 projects across 12 countries, with data centre projects representing 78% of the total. Development earnings rose 34% to AU$1.79 billion, making them the largest contributor to the Group’s FY26 result. During FY26, Goodman launched development projects valued at AU$8.1 billion and delivered completed projects worth AU$3.6 billion.

The digital infrastructure platform is also gaining scale. Goodman has a 6.4 GW global power bank, including 3.6 GW of secured capacity and another 2.8 GW in advanced procurement. Around 0.5 GW of data centre capacity is currently being developed through ten projects spanning eight major global cities, while growing customer commitments further reinforce demand visibility. A 50 MW facility in Tokyo has secured a 20-year lease with a hyperscale customer, while negotiations are progressing across other major sites.Strong Capital Base Supports ExpansionGoodman ended FY26 with AU$6.4 billion of liquidity and gearing of 6.5%. Its broader portfolio reached AU$89.0 billion, while occupancy remained robust at 95.6%, providing a stable property base alongside faster-growing development activities.What Comes Next?The FY27 outlook hinges increasingly on converting Goodman’s sizeable development workbook into contracted, income-producing infrastructure. Management expects development WIP to continue rising and is targeting 9% OEPS growth for FY27. With cloud expansion and AI inference increasing demand for metropolitan data centre capacity, Goodman enters the year with substantial growth opportunities—but delivery, leasing and disciplined capital deployment will determine whether that potential translates into sustained earnings momentum.Note- All data presented is based on information available at the time of writing.Disclaimer for Kapitales ResearchThe materials provided by Kapitales Research, including articles, news, data, reports, opinions, images, charts, and videos ("Content"), are intended for personal, non-commercial use only.
