ASX Limited has updated its financial guidance for FY26, announcing that expense growth, excluding ASIC inquiry costs, is now expected to be between 13% and 15%. When including the costs related to the ASIC Inquiry, total FY26 expense growth guidance rises to between 20% and 23%. This marks a significant increase from previous guidance, which indicated expense growth would be toward the upper end of 8% to 11% excluding inquiry costs, or 14% to 19% including them. The company also reported strong operating revenue growth in its unaudited 1H26 financial results, reflecting robust trading activity and increased demand for interest rate futures. ASX attributed the updated outlook to revised investment requirements and updated cost assessments following the interim report from ASIC's expert Inquiry Panel. Further details will be provided at the 1H26 results announcement scheduled for 12 February 2026.
