SKS Technologies Group Ltd (ASX:SKS) has recently announced an impressive expansion to its revenue projections for the 2025 fiscal year, thanks to a significant new contract. The company has secured a $20 million contract from Built Australia to carry out extension works on a hyperscale data centre in Melbourne. This new deal follows SKS's earlier $90 million contract for the same data centre, located in Melbourne’s western suburbs. SKS, an ASX industrial stock, continues to expand its significant presence in the sector. 

Expansion Details 

The newly awarded $20 million contract encompasses a wide range of fit-out tasks for the data centre. This includes electrical installations in office and administration areas, equipment installation and testing, whip cabling work to connect the main power supply to electrical systems, and comprehensive tasks related to submains, cable support systems, and general power and communication cabling. 

Strategic Impact 

This contract is part of SKS Technologies’ strategy to establish itself firmly in Australia’s lucrative data centre market. With the market projected to grow to $7.7 billion by 2029, SKS Technologies has already secured a total of $170 million in contracts within this sector since FY22. The company views these contracts as a testament to its growing reputation and capability in delivering large-scale data centre projects. 

Matthew Jinks, Chief Executive Officer of SKS Technologies, highlighted the company’s rapid growth and its efforts to enhance its profile in the data centre sector. Jinks noted that SKS Technologies has successfully completed several major data centre projects, earning a reputation as a preferred supplier of electrical and communications solutions. 

Financial Performance and Outlook 

SKS Technologies reported exceptional operational performance and record financial results for FY24. The company’s strong financial standing is expected to support its ongoing and future project commitments effectively. Jinks emphasized that the board and management are dedicated to maintaining high standards in project execution and consolidating their operational framework to support continued growth. 

Market Reaction 

The announcement of the new contract has positively impacted SKS Technologies' share price. As of 11:30 AEST, shares in SKS Technologies were trading at $1.50, reflecting a 7.94% increase since the market opened. 

SKS Technologies Group Ltd is making notable strides in the data centre market with its recent contract wins. The company's ability to secure substantial projects and deliver impressive financial results underlines its growing influence and potential in the industry.
