Highlights

  • Superloop forecasts FY27 underlying EBITDA growth of 21%–27%, supported by business expansion and acquisitions.

  • Consumer and business additions lifted total customers to 954,000 by the end of October.

  • Higher infrastructure spending and interest costs place greater emphasis on delivering profitable growth.

Superloop Limited (ASX: SLC) traded at AU$2.615, representing a surge of 5.9%, following announcements released on 10 November 2026. Its latest trading update highlighted rising customer numbers and stronger earnings expectations, with attention turning to whether its expanding operations can deliver the next stage of growth.

Earnings Growth Takes Centre Stage

Superloop issued FY27 underlying EBITDA guidance of AU$148 million–AU$156 million, compared to AU$122.7 million in FY26. The measure adjusts earnings for specified accounting and other expenses.

The expected result includes approximately AU$11 million from Lynham, alongside an approximately AU$3.8 million reduction associated with AGL. Growth from underlying operations is forecast to contribute AU$18.1 million–AU$26.1 million.

Customer Expansion Continues

Total customers increased by 14,600 during the first quarter, with additions reaching 18,500 through 31 October.

The consumer division finished October with 524,400 customers, adding 19,300 during the quarter and 23,000 since June. Momentum continued despite increased departures during July and August after prices rose.

Business customers reached 119,200, increasing by 1,700 during the quarter and 2,300 through October. Smart Communities secured another 10,000 contracted lots, bringing its contracted portfolio to 200,000.

Wholesale subscribers fell by 6,400 during the quarter and 6,800 through October to 310,400, reflecting anticipated seasonality. Separately, new network agreements are expected to produce more than AU$3.6 million in annualised revenue following migration.

Expansion Requires Greater Investment

Capital expenditure is expected to reach AU$58 million–AU$62 million in FY27, compared to AU$37.9 million previously. Spending includes AU$16 million–AU$18 million for Smart Communities and approximately AU$4 million for integration.

Acquisition borrowing is expected to double net interest expense from FY26’s AU$7.8 million.

Outlook

Maintaining customer momentum and completing contracted developments will be important as Superloop absorbs higher spending and financing costs.

Its FY29 ambitions comprise revenue above AU$1 billion, underlying EBITDA of AU$200 million and reported earnings-per-share growth exceeding 30% annually over three years. These objectives remain ambitions rather than guidance, making operational delivery a factor in assessing progress.
