Goodman Group has provided its Q3 FY25 operational update, highlighting that the company continues to execute its strategy while adapting to the changing technological and geopolitical environment.

Guidance

The Board confirms the forecast FY25 Operating EPS growth of 9% and a full year distribution of 30cps.

Outlook

Customer demand across Goodman's industrial portfolio is currently being influenced by the uncertainty around international trade and its impact on global growth. However, the potential for the continued regeneration of the Group's existing sites, including intensification and alternative use, is providing further options and enhancing development outcomes. Hyperscale operator capex programs are forecast to grow and drive demand for data centres, with supply constraints in metropolitan and low latency locations supporting leasing. The Group is well positioned to support this through its access to power on existing sites and proven track record in delivering complex infrastructure developments.
