Infrastructure investor Infratil (ASX:IFT) delivered its financial performance for the 2026 financial year, posting an 11% growth in proportionate operational earnings to NZ$989 million.

The infrastructure giant capitalised on an unprecedented surge in artificial intelligence and green energy demand, swinging from a NZ$295 million loss last year to a net parent surplus of NZ$550 million.

The result was heavily propelled by its Australasian data centre business, CDC, and US-based renewable energy developer, Longroad Energy.

CDC's capacity has surpassed one gigawatt following a massive regional contract, while Longroad's solar and battery projects under construction hit a record 2 gigawatts.

To seize these high-growth opportunities, Infratil divested more than NZ$600 million in smaller assets, including a major stake in Contact Energy, with further sales under review.

CEO Jason Boyes described the AI infrastructure boom as a potential "investment opportunity of a lifetime", noting that integrated data and energy strategies will drive their next chapter.

Total asset value climbed 13% to NZ$20.6 billion, backed by an inaugural BBB+ credit rating from S&P Global Ratings.

While its telecommunications arm, One NZ, and Wellington Airport proved highly resilient amidst tight macroeconomic conditions, the company is looking firmly ahead.
