Market Close 27 Apr 26: ASX slips for fifth day

This is after securing a $35.5 million three-year contract.

It's what it calls a compute and storage contract from a US tech company, which is unlisted.

So it reckons it's basically going to rake in something like $8.5 million per year in revenue.

Megaport hasn't actually had a down day on the market in over two weeks now.

Market Close 27 Apr 26: ASX slips for fifth day

It's down in the order of five, around 5%.

It downgraded guidance at its Australia Pacific LNG site in Queensland.

It basically said that revenue at the site fell by close to $250 million over the March quarter.

It actually blamed this on bringing in less money for its LNG over that three-month period because of a strengthening US dollar and lower sales.

changes in oil prices, which we've obviously had since the war in Iran started a couple of months ago, does have quite a lagged effect on its long-term export contracts.

I guess the final piece of the puzzle before the next interest rate decision by the Reserve Bank, which is going to be next week.

CommSec Market Update
Market Close 27 Apr 26: ASX slips for fifth day

Ahead of this, the market reckons there's roughly a 75% chance that they'll be lifting interest rates.

CommSec Market Update

So we'll wait and see what comes out of this.

Also, plenty of quarterly updates locally as well from companies like Woodside, Boss Energy, IGO, ResMed and more.
