Source: Kapitales Research

Highlights:

  • Strong earnings momentum: Revenue climbed nearly 20% to about $2.0 billion while underlying EBITA surged 36.4%.
  • Acquisition drives growth: The Fredon purchase boosted margins, order book strength and future opportunities.
  • Upgraded outlook: FY26 earnings guidance lifted alongside a higher interim dividend.

Shares Rally as Results Beat Expectations

NRW Holdings Limited (ASX: NWH), a diversified mining, civil and infrastructure services group, delivered a strong HY26 performance that helped push its share price higher, trading near $6.20 at the time of writing after a double-digit gain. The company reported solid revenue growth, improved margins and stronger earnings, reflecting increased activity across multiple business segments. The results have already been widely discussed across financial platforms during the ASX reporting season, with investors focusing on the company’s upgraded guidance and expanding project pipeline as key drivers behind the positive market reaction.

Fredon Acquisition and Margin Expansion Support Growth

At the time of writing, NRW reported revenue of around $2.0 billion, up 19.5% on the prior period, while underlying EBITA reached $132.3 million, representing growth of more than 36%. Earnings per share rose strongly to 18.1 cents, supported by disciplined project execution and operational efficiency. The recently completed acquisition of Fredon added momentum to the group’s engineering and infrastructure capabilities, contributing new contracts including data centre projects. Strong performances across Civil and MET divisions, combined with improved mining margins, helped lift overall profitability despite softer activity in some mining projects following earlier completions.

What’s Next for FY26?

Looking ahead, NRW upgraded its full-year FY26 guidance, targeting underlying EBITA between $275 million and $285 million, supported by a strong $7.5 billion order book and a growing pipeline of tenders. The company also declared a fully franked interim dividend of 8.5 cents per share, signalling confidence in cash flow strength. With expanding infrastructure demand, exposure to critical minerals and ongoing integration of Fredon, NRW appears well-positioned to maintain growth momentum — though investors will continue watching project execution and market conditions closely in the second half of FY26.
