Earnings Rebound Sparks Rally

CQE reported a net profit of AU$31 million for the first half of FY25, marking a sharp reversal from the AU$10.9 million loss in 1H24. The improved financials reflect significant rental income and asset performance in the social infrastructure sector, which includes childcare, healthcare, and education properties.

Boost in Distribution Guidance

Alongside its earnings recovery, CQE raised its FY25 distribution guidance to 15.2 cents per unit, up from the previous forecast of 15.0 cents per unit. The increase highlights management’s confidence in sustained cash flow and portfolio performance.

Stock Performance and Market Sentiment

CQE has gained 8.2% year-to-date, including today’s surge, making it one of the top gainers on the ASX200 index.
