Goodman reaffirms FY25 earnings forecast

Demand remains firm despite economic headwinds

Growth in data centre demand supports development pipeline

Goodman Group (ASX:GMG) has reaffirmed confidence in its growth trajectory, maintaining its FY25 operating earnings per share guidance at 9%, even as global economic and trade uncertainties weigh on customer decision-making across the logistics and industrial property sectors.

In its latest quarterly operational update, the company expressed cautious optimism, noting that while macroeconomic headwinds—particularly those affecting international trade—are delaying leasing decisions, robust fundamentals continue to underpin performance. Goodman also confirmed its anticipated distribution of 30 cents per share for the financial year.

According to founder and CEO Greg Goodman, core markets are benefitting from a tight supply environment and strong customer retention, helping to sustain high occupancy rates and rental growth. These structural advantages are proving to be a buffer against broader economic volatility.

The CEO highlighted that the development pipeline continues to deliver attractive margins relative to risk. Goodman pointed to ongoing demand for premium industrial and logistics spaces, especially in well-located urban centres.

Furthermore, a notable trend is the accelerating capital expenditure by hyperscale operators, driving sustained demand for data centres. Limited availability in metropolitan and low-latency areas is creating favourable conditions for leasing in this fast-growing segment. This demand shift positions Goodman well to benefit from evolving infrastructure needs, especially as digital transformation deepens across industries.

The company’s stable outlook and resilient earnings projections add to its appeal in the broader landscape of ASX dividend stocks, particularly for income-focused investors tracking solid performers in the industrial and real estate sectors. As part of the S&P/ASX200, Goodman continues to play a significant role in Australia's blue-chip index, reinforcing its relevance in diversified portfolios.

While economic uncertainties persist, Goodman’s strategy of securing long-term tenants in supply-constrained markets, coupled with its development focus on high-demand infrastructure like data centres, provides a balanced outlook. The firm’s performance and strategic direction are likely to keep it on the radar of those following the ASX200 for stability and long-term potential.

With a disciplined approach and an eye on sustainable growth, Goodman Group appears well-positioned to navigate the current climate while capitalising on structural trends reshaping industrial real estate.
