NRW's AU$200 Million Tonkin Highway Project Builds on Strong Momentum, Says Euroz Hartleys

By

-- NRW Holdings (ASX:NWH) has been awarded a AU$200 million contract for the Tonkin Highway Grade Separations project, underpinning robust momentum across its civil infrastructure division, Euroz Hartleys said in a note on Thursday.

The contract win strengthens NRW's positioning in major Western Australian road and infrastructure projects supported by broader government-led spending, as the Tonkin Highway corridor remains a key transport route for Perth.

The investment firm said opportunities across NRW's civil construction, mining, engineering, and electrical and mechanical services businesses remain "buoyant," with the company actively bidding for around AU$9.2 billion worth of projects from a broader pipeline of roughly AU$25.2 billion.

The firm added that it expects further conversion from NRW's AU$2.5 billion civil tender pipeline and also sees significant opportunities in data centers-related projects over the next decade.

Euroz Hartleys maintained its buy rating, while its price target of AU$7.20 remains under review.

Block Shareholder Proposes Creation of Dedicated Board-Level Technology Committee

Block (ASX:XYZ) shareholder the New York State Common Retirement Fund has filed a proposal to establish a dedicated board-level technology committee, arguing that the company's current technology oversight is "woefully inadequate," according to a Friday filing with the Australian bourse.The retirement fund said a specialized technology committee would help relieve an overwhelmed three-member audit and risk committee that, among other duties, is tasked with direct oversight of the audit and risk functions of Square Financial Services, an industrial bank owned by Block.This "creates a substantial, recurring compliance burden entirely separate from the committee's oversight of the parent company's technology risk and enterprise cybersecurity," the shareholder said.Block's lack of a dedicated technology committee has exposed shareholders "to recurring compliance and cybersecurity risks," the retirement fund said, adding that the board has existing capacity, as four directors currently don't serve on any committees.The proposal will be put to a vote at an annual meeting scheduled for June 16.Block did not immediately respond to a request for comment from.

Research Alert: Otex Delivers Q3 Beats; Enterprise Cloud Bookings Accelerates.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:OTEX reported Q3 revenue of $1.283B, growing 2.2% Y/Y and beating consensus by $10M, while non-GAAP EPS of $1.01 exceeded estimates by $0.09 and grew 23.2% Y/Y. Cloud revenue rose 6.6% to $493M with enterprise cloud bookings accelerating 29.6% to $196M, marking the 21st consecutive quarter of cloud organic growth. The enterprise cloud bookings acceleration suggests OTEX's "Enterprise Information Management for AI" positioning is gaining customer traction amid the enterprise AI transition. The completion of CEO transition with Ayman Antoun's April 2026 start removes a key business overhang for the stock. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 34.1% from 31.5% prior year, demonstrating strong operational leverage despite continued AI and cloud investments. We believe the company's disciplined cost management supports margin expansion. The company returned $313M to shareholders including $247M in repurchases, though free cash flow declined 18.4% to $305M on higher capex and working capital changes.
