Megaport Shares Just Jumped Again as AI Cloud Bet Faces a Crucial Retail Test
Megaport Ltd rose 3.03% to A$19.04 on Tuesday, extending the sharp rerating that followed its AI infrastructure contracts and capital raising. The ASX-listed network and compute company opened at A$17.55, dipped to A$17.09, then pushed as high as A$19.25 before the close. The timing matters. Tuesday was the first trading session after the ASX cash market’s King’s Birthday closure on Monday, and Megaport is now heading into the retail leg of an A$827.3 million entitlement offer — a capital raising that lets existing shareholders buy new shares in proportion to their holdings.
