ASX has delivered a result broadly in-line with market expectations

ASX has delivered a result broadly in-line with market expectations. Cash NPAT of $189.6m is 0.8% ahead of consensus; EPS up 2% versus pcp; Interim dividend of 88cps (consensus at 88cps) and compares to 87.9cps pcp. Revenue leverage came in a bit stronger than some expectations, although this was offset to a degree by cost growth and lower interest income. Not a lot of new information on Over The Counter Clearing, or mFund (the listing of managed funds). Don't expect much change to numbers, perhaps 1-2% upgrade.
