Source: Kapitales Research

Highlights:

  • Record Transaction Volumes: PEXA Group Limited (ASX: PXA) achieved record transaction volumes in Australia, with a significant increase in refinancing and remortgage sectors, contributing to strong revenue growth.
  • Cost Efficiency: The company improved its EBITDA margin to 39.9%, reflecting disciplined cost management and operational leverage.
  • International Expansion: PEXA's UK business showed positive momentum, driven by growth in remortgage volumes.

Company Performance at a Glance

PEXA Group Limited (ASX: PXA) has seen a robust performance in the first half of the 2026 fiscal year, with its stock surging by 7.60% to AU$15.400 at the time of writing. The growth comes on the back of a revised revenue forecast for FY26, which reflects the company’s strong operational results. PEXA’s total revenue for the first half of FY26 stood at AU$215.3 million, up 10% from AU$195.9 million in the previous year.

Key Drivers of Financial Performance

In Australia, PEXA achieved record transaction volumes, particularly in the refinancing and remortgage sectors. The company processed 41,000 transactions in a single day in December 2025, marking a 14% increase from the previous year.

The company successfully enhanced its operational efficiency by implementing effective cost control measures, improving its ability to leverage growth. PEXA achieved an EBITDA margin of 39.9%, a 3.1 percentage point increase over the previous year, which helped boost its profitability.

The company's international business, primarily in the UK, continued its recovery with strong growth in remortgage transactions. The company’s acquisition of Optima Legal and Smoove is also seen as a major step toward strengthening its position in the UK digital property market.

Challenges and Outlook for the Second Half

Despite the positive performance, PEXA has lowered its full-year revenue guidance to a range of AU$395 million to AU$415 million, down from the previous forecast of AU$405 million to AU$430 million. This adjustment is primarily due to seasonally weaker transaction volumes expected in the second half of FY26. However, the company remains focused on continued innovation, particularly with its upcoming anti-money laundering (AML) product, “PEXA Clear,” set for a 2026 launch.

Conclusion

PEXA’s performance in 1H26 underscores the strength of its Australian market position and its successful international ventures, despite potential seasonal fluctuations. With a forward-looking strategy to drive cost efficiencies and expand further in the UK, PEXA is poised for long-term growth, even as it navigates a slightly softer second-half performance.
