NRW Holdings (ISIN AU000000NWH5) traded at AUD 8.05 on the ASX on October 7, 2026, giving the contractor a market capitalization of AUD 3.7 billion. Its Fredon business secured a reported AUD 115 million first-stage mechanical package for the Stack MEL03 data centre project, according to SureStone Capital on September 24, 2026.

Data centre work broadens NRW

The award covers off-site fabrication of mechanical systems for a 432 megawatt portion of Stack Data Centres' 864 megawatt Melbourne campus. The work began in September 2026 and is scheduled for completion in March 2028, giving Fredon a multi-year project rather than a short-duration assignment.

The contract adds to NRW's expansion beyond traditional mining services. The company operates across Civil, Mining, Minerals, Energy and Technologies, and Electrical, Mechanical, Infrastructure and Technology, according to NRW Holdings.

Fiscal 2026 growth sets the scale

NRW reported fiscal 2026 revenue of AUD 4.29 billion, up 31.40 percent from AUD 3.27 billion in fiscal 2025. Underlying EBITA rose 38.80 percent to AUD 288.60 million, and the underlying EBITA margin improved to 6.70 percent from 6.40 percent, according to Kapitales on September 21, 2026.

That comparison matters because the data centre award sits inside a business already expanding at double-digit rates. Underlying net profit after tax reached AUD 182.70 million in fiscal 2026, compared with AUD 127.20 million in fiscal 2025, while statutory profit reached AUD 153.40 million.

Stock remains near its ASX high

The ASX quotation of AUD 8.05 on October 7, 2026 was AUD 0.38 below the 52-week high of AUD 8.43, a 4.51 percent gap. The same snapshot showed a 52-week low of AUD 4.57, placing the stock AUD 3.48 above that level.

For German investors, the separate Lang & Schwarz reference is the prior close of EUR 4.97 on October 5, 2026. The quote page dated October 6, 2026, so it does not provide a valid October 7 intraday Lang & Schwarz price or daily percentage change.

Expansion now meets execution

NRW's data centre strategy offers a concrete test of whether Fredon's new work can scale alongside mining and infrastructure operations. The AUD 115 million first-stage award is firm, while the scheduled March 2028 completion gives investors a dated execution horizon.

The broader financial base provides useful context: fiscal 2026 revenue increased by AUD 1.03 billion year over year, and underlying EBITA increased by AUD 79.80 million. Those gains give the new contract strategic relevance, but delivery timing and margin conversion remain the key operating measures.
