NextDC<\/a> Limited\u00a0(ASX:NXT)\u00a0has been placed in a trading halt at its own request on 19 October 2026, pending a material market update regarding a delay to the supply of power at its M3 Melbourne data centre<\/a>, with the halt expected to remain in place until the earlier of a market announcement or the commencement of normal trading on Wednesday, 21 October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NextDC submitted its trading halt request to ASX Listings Compliance on 19 October 2026, signed by Company Secretary Michael Helmer. According to the filing, the company sought the halt to manage its continuous disclosure obligations while it assesses the impact of the power supply delay at its M3 Melbourne data centre. The filing states NextDC is not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted, nor of any other information available at the time necessary to inform the market about the halt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filing discloses that the trading halt was sought specifically because NextDC needs to provide a material update to the market on the impact of a delay to the supply of power at its M3 Melbourne data centre. The company stated that the Board had not yet convened to consider the M3 power delay and its implications at the time the request was submitted. NextDC did not disclose the cause of the power delay, its duration, or any remediation measures in the filing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
