But one of them is IPD Group (ASX:IPG), which provides electrical infrastructure, including necessary infrastructure for EVs (including chargers). And it just told shareholders to expect significant earnings growth in FY23.

A big FY23 earnings update

The company generated $20.2m in EBITDA and $16.6m in EBIT during FY22. It told shareholders this morning that FY23 had proven to be a strong year given ‘the tailwinds of the electrification of the economy’.

Based upon unaudited accounts for the 11 months in FY23 to date, it is expecting $27.1-$27.6m in EBITDA (representing 34-36% growth) and $22.9-$23.4m in EBIT (up 38-41%). The EBITDA guidance is 3-4% higher than consensus estimates, which called for $26.4m.

The company with electric vehicle exposure on the ASX has tripled since listing

Given its IPD Group listed in late 2021, you’d expect it to be down. But after listing at $1.20, it has more than tripled.
