WRKR Ltd – Investment ramps up for new revenue

By Research as a Service (RaaS)

  • Wrkr Ltd (ASX:WRK) offers compliance solutions for Australian superannuation contributions and payroll including member onboarding, super payments, messaging and employee validation.
  • We have taken the opportunity to incorporate the recent $15m capital raise into our numbers and fine tune client migration timing, which has resulted in reductions to our FY26 estimates, but an increase to our FY27 revenue forecasts as AustralianSuper (set to migrate between February and June 2026) is larger than our previous user assumptions.
  • We also take a more aggressive view on near-term cost growth relative to revenue.

Primer: GoodRx Holdings Inc (GDRX US) – Oct 2025

By αSK

  • GoodRx operates a leading digital healthcare platform in the U.S., capitalizing on the opaque and high-cost prescription drug market by offering price transparency and discounts, primarily earning revenue from Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs).
  • The company faces a highly competitive and evolving landscape with threats from direct competitors, large new entrants like Amazon, and disruptive models such as Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs, alongside significant reliance on a concentrated number of PBM partners.
  • Future growth hinges on diversifying revenue streams beyond prescription transactions into pharma manufacturer solutions, subscription services (GoodRx Gold), and telehealth (GoodRx Care), while navigating regulatory risks and strengthening direct relationships with pharmacies.

By William Keating

  • Q3 2025 revenues of $33.1 billion, slightly exceeding the upper end of the guided range, up 10.1% QoQ and up 40.8% YoY.
  • On track for 35% YoY revenue growth in 2025, with revenue likely to exceed $120 billion
  • No QoQ revenue growth this quarter suggests either AI demand growth has stalled or TMSC is maxed out at the leading edge. Methinks it’s the latter..
