ASX shares surge 9% in biggest gain since March 2020 on upbeat listings outlook
ASX Ltd shares surged 9% after management highlighted the strongest listings pipeline in years and reported 100 new listings over 12 months (+45% YoY), improving expectations for capital markets activity. However, net income missed consensus and costs rose sharply, while ongoing infrastructure remediation and regulatory oversight remain key overhangs. The update is supportive for near-term sentiment toward the exchange operator and Australian equity issuance.
