Boom Logistics lifts guidance amid mining demand
Diversified lifting and project logistics specialist Boom Logistics (ASX:BOL) announced an upgrade to its FY26 guidance, underpinned by demand across the mining and infrastructure sectors.
The company revealed a statutory earnings per share forecast of 29 cents, marking an impressive 31% increase over the previous financial year.
Underlying EPS is expected to reach 32 cents, a 47% jump on FY25 results.
The optimism stems from a 7% year-on-year revenue increase to $69.6 million for the quarter, bringing year-to-date revenue to $211.8 million.
The group’s operational momentum is further validated by the acquisition of $7 million in new contract work across Western Australia, New South Wales, and Victoria.
Approximately $6 million of these agreements are tied to critical energy projects, including wind energy and civil infrastructure, which provide strong earnings visibility heading into FY27.
Key metrics indicate a healthy balance sheet, with net debt seeing a favourable 12% reduction to $91.7 million, while cash reserves have surged 162% to $17.8 million compared to the prior corresponding period.
The on-market share buyback programme has been expanded to $7 million, up from the previously slated $6 million.
Management cited continued high demand in the mining sector and project executions in Port Hedland as primary drivers for the company’s upgraded outlook.
At the time of reporting, Boom Logistics’ share price was $1.82.
