$Link Administration Holdings Ltd (LNK.AU)$: Markets administrator Link Group said it has failed to reach agreement with Dye & Durham over a $12.7亿 cash offer for Link's corporate markets business.
"The latest form of the conditional non-binding proposal from D&D involved a material portion of the consideration being deferred and payable after a two-year period. D&D also proposed a change in the businesses being acquired," Link said in a statement to the market.
Link also reaffirmed its outlook for financial 2023 including low-single digit revenue growth, with operating EBITDA up 10 per cent to 12 per cent.
$Air New Zealand Ltd (AIZ.AU)$: Air New Zealand has followed Qantas in lifting its profit guidance on the back of rising ticket prices and strong travel demand.
The airline expects earnings before other significant items and taxation for H1 FY 2023 between $NZ29500万 and $NZ32500万. This compares to the prior guidance between $NZ20000万 and $NZ27500万 for the half year.
The group flagged falling fuel prices as adding $NZ2000万 upside to the guidance range.
