Stock Jumps Over 10% Following Positive Financial Update

Worley Limited (ASX: WOR) saw its stock price surge by 10.5% at the time of writing, following the announcement of a $500 million share buyback and a significant 72% increase in interim net profit. The company's net profit rose to $183 million, reflecting strong financial performance and investor confidence in its strategic direction.

Major Share Buyback to Enhance Shareholder Returns

The impressive 72% jump in interim net profit is attributed to increasing demand for Worley’s engineering and professional services across energy, resources, and infrastructure sectors. The company continues to benefit from global investments in renewable energy, oil and gas, and sustainability projects, positioning itself for long-term growth.

Market Confidence and Future Outlook

Worley’s financial strength and strategic initiatives have been well received by investors, as evidenced by the stock's double-digit gain. With its solid earnings growth and shareholder-focused approach, the company is expected to maintain strong momentum throughout the year.
