Goodman Group securities surged to a record high on Thursday after the industrial property giant upgraded both its full-year earnings guidance and the size of its data centre development pipeline as part of a better-than-expected half-year results update.

It was the 10th year in a row that the country’s most successful global property player upgraded its earnings guidance at the halfway mark. Goodman Group forecast around $2 billion of operating profit, or 11 per cent growth in earnings per security over the full year, up from a previously guided 9 per cent.
