Why did ASX rise 3.8% on 8 Oct 2026?
ASX Limited
ASX Limited likely rose because Firmus pulled its massive $44 billion IPO, removing a potentially large competing listing that would have drawn investor capital away from ASX's own exchange business and reduced near-term listing fee competition.
The dominant news of the day was Firmus scrapping what would have been Australia's largest IPO in decades, widely covered across ABC, AFR, The Guardian, The Age and Nine. ASX Limited (ASX.AX) is the exchange operator that would have listed Firmus — a pulled float of this scale removes a capital overhang for the broader market while also signalling that ASX's near-term listing revenue forecasts may have already priced in the deal, making its removal less harmful than feared, or alternatively that the failed IPO reflects negatively on competitors. The sector index (financials) fell 1.43% and peers were down 0.69%, making this a clear stock-specific move that diverged sharply from the sector, consistent with a company-specific catalyst rather than broad sector flow.
