Broker believes there's more growth in store 

Since its ASX debut back in 2020, the share price of Aussie Broadband has more than doubled, and currently sits at $3.91 per share. 

Broker Bell Potter has an overweight recommendation and target price of $4.54. 

This indicates a further 16.11% upside. 

According to a report from Bell Potter, the company's revenue growth is a key factor in its guidance. 

Revenue for the first half of FY '25 was reported at $588 million, marking a 6.8% growth from the prior corresponding period and a 32% increase on a statutory basis. Underlying EBITDA rose by 8.9% to approximately $66 million, with gross margin improving by 7.5% to nearly $218 million.

The broker also looked favourably on Aussie Broadband's 43,652 connections added in the first half, improving its status as the Most Trusted Telco, and maintaining a growing market share in NBN services. 

Aussie Broadband is looking toward 2028 with a refreshed strategy focusing on diversifying revenue, expanding the Aussie Fibre footprint, enhancing customer service, and improving digital tools and security.
