Straker has launched an integration with AI workflow platform n8n
The company delivered record adjusted EBITDA of $4.8 million in FY25
Ord Minnett has upgraded Straker's price target to 52c
Special Report: ASX-listed language tech company Straker has extended its reach into the fast-growing enterprise automation market, announcing a new integration with AI workflow platform n8n.
This comes just days after Straker (ASX:STG)reported record profitability and winning a price target upgrade from broker Ord Minnett.
The integration introduces Straker's Verify product – its AI-powered translation quality and compliance tool – into n8n's ecosystem, giving over 230,000 active users and 3,000 enterprise clients the ability to automate translations, receive real-time quality scores, and seamlessly escalate content to human linguists when needed.
The partnership forms part of Straker's broader platform strategy, which has already seen the company integrate its services into workplace staples like Slack, with plans underway to launch in Microsoft Teams.
'As organisations race to adopt generative AI workflows, translation accuracy and oversight cannot become casualties of speed,' said co-founder and CEO Grant Straker.
'This integration with n8n ensures businesses can move fast without compromising on the quality their global audiences demand. It is yet another example of Straker's strategy of leveraging third-party platforms to cost-effectively broaden the reach of our sales efforts and grow Straker's high-margin recurring revenue.'
The new capability is particularly relevant to highly regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and legal, where accuracy and compliance are non-negotiable.
Users can deploy Verify to automatically trigger translations, evaluate content quality in real time, and apply human oversight only where needed offering both scale and assurance.
Record results, stronger margins
The announcement comes off the back of Straker's FY25 financial results, which saw the Auckland-based firm deliver revenue of NZ$44.9 million – at the top end of guidance – and adjusted EBITDA of NZ$4.8 million, a company record.
Gross margins rose more than 300 basis points to 67 per cent, reflecting a strategic pivot toward AI-enabled, recurring revenue streams and away from lower-margin, legacy translation work.
Ord Minnett responded by lifting its 12-month price target for Straker by 42%to A$0.52 per share, citing stronger-than-expected execution and rising profitability. The broker noted that the company's adjusted EBITDA came in 141% above its forecast and described the platform strategy as a 'margin-accretive opportunity'.
'The earnings uplift and expanding contribution from newer offerings such as SwiftBridge and Verify position the company well heading into FY26,' the note said.
The company's SwiftBridge product, developed in partnership with IBM, recently launched in Japan to support new Tokyo Stock Exchange disclosure requirements. Meanwhile, Verify – now accessible via n8n – delivered more than NZ$1 million in new revenue in its first year.
Straker ended FY25 with NZ$12.9 million in cash and no debt. The company reduced headcount by 15 per cent across the year, including a 32 per cent cut in its Production segment, contributing to sustained operating leverage as it scales its software-led offerings.
While no formal FY26 guidance has been issued, management expects margin expansion and further growth in recurring revenue lines to continue.

$6000 mare shines for new partners David Jolly and Justin Potter at Morphettville Parks

Bargain buy mare Nextonixs gave South Australian trainers David Jolly and Justin Potter their first metro win as a partnership at Morphettville Parks. Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sharp mare Nextonixs blitzed her rivals in a bold frontrunning win at Morphettville Parks on Saturday, handing trainers David Jolly and Justin Potter a strong start to their new partnership. The daughter of Tassort dashed to the lead under leading apprentice Rochelle Milnes and kicked at the top of the straight in an impressive display of raw speed, scoring a comfortable 1¼-length win over Kalasec in a 0-66 Handicap (1000m). • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The milestone win handed Jolly and Potter their first city winner as a partnership, along with back-to-back wins after Hypenova saluted at Murray Bridge on Wednesday. Potter, who rode 1309 winners, called time on his 25-year career as a jockey in July, teaming up with Jolly, a Group 1-winning trainer who has 966 winners in his own right. A $6000 bargain buy at the 2023 Inglis Gold Yearling Sale, Nextonixs ($10 Sportsbet) has already repaid that fee in spades, winning three races from five starts, and $95,680 in prizemoney. â€' (@Racing) January 24, 2025 • Superstar v apprentice: J-Mac staves off Siena in Rosehill slugfest 'We bought her cheaply as a yearling, we probably just liked her pedigree a little bit,' Jolly said post-race. 'She's very fast, she's had one failure, here during the summer, she jarred up a little bit leading into it. 'Justin (Potter) said a couple of weeks ago, 'she's flying this thing', Streetcar Fury is a fast horse but we've had to take him away from her, because he hasn't been able to keep up with her (at trackwork). 'I was very confident leading into today that she was going well. She's a cantankerous little thing, very sassy, she's very hard work on the ground but a good ride.' • Maher colt comes out on top in Vain battle Jolly believes a race down the hill at Oakbank will suit the four-year-old, but also has a Victorian assignment in his cross hairs. 'I'd love to take her to Moonee Valley for a Friday night, she's got a very high cruising speed and a kick,' he said. It was an afternoon of mixed emotions for Murray Bridge trainers Ron Daniel and Trish Stanbury, the pair saluted with promising mare Hot Strut in a Class 2 over 1400m, but will anxiously await scans for stakes winner, Colmar, who pulled up lame after finishing sixth as favourite in a Benchmark 72 (1250m). 'It's pretty upsetting, we come here thinking it was a really good race for him today leading into the Balak Cup (Sep 10),' Daniel said. 'Rochelle (Milnes) said he was travelling OK then felt a bit funny. He pulled up, he was definitely sore, his nearside fetlock is pretty big.' Milnes, Jason Holder and Jake Toeroek shared riding honours on Saturday's nine-race program, the three premiership-winning hoops nailed a double each. It was also a landmark day for trainer Tyler Donaldson-Aitken, the Ballarat handler nailed his first metro winner with Welcometotheshow, who charged home to win the final race on the card, a 0-62 Handicap over 1250m.

Sacked Dubber boss could lose multimillion-dollar home

Fresh court documents reveal that the day before the trading halt, McGovern took out a $1.9 million mortgage on his Warrandyte home. About the same time, Madafferi was emailing Dubber's board members, assuring them the money was locked up in the term deposit account that never existed, according to documents lodged by the company in the Victorian Supreme Court. Macquarie Bank launched proceedings in the same court this month to repossess the four-bedroom home McGovern inherited in 2004, perched in a quiet cul-de-sac in the north-eastern Melbourne suburb. The bank issued a default notice to the 60-year-old in May after he failed to make any of the monthly repayments. A Macquarie spokesperson declined to comment, citing the ongoing court case. McGovern's other residence, a Collingwood apartment purchased in 2013, was re-mortgaged by a private lender just two weeks before Macquarie filed its lawsuit. McGovern did not respond to questions sent by this masthead, including the curious timing of the February 26, 2024, loan. McGovern founded Dubber in 2011, which launched on the ASX in 2015 via a back-door listing. The tech company, backed by Melbourne billionaire Alex Waislitz, provides low-cost cloud-based phone recording and data harvesting software to a notable telco client list, including Optus, Telstra and AT&T. In July, Dubber sued McGovern and Madafferi over 39 payments of the Dubber cash they allegedly dished out to themselves and other figures, including gangland identities. In August 2021, $30 million was transferred to Madafferi's trust account to be invested in the term deposit – but Dubber has accused the men of never investing the money, instead forging documents to deceive the company's board members. It's alleged that on the same day the millions landed in Madafferi's account, the men immediately started transferring the funds, including a $200,000 payment to John Khory, Mick Gatto's long-time business partner and underworld figure; a $3 million transfer to a residential estate development in Geelong; and nearly $1 million dished out to companies associated with Mo Abou-Eid, a financial planner with ties to gangland identities. Some of the other payments recorded by Madafferi were detailed as: 'Supreme Court Litigation', 'Mortgage', 'ATO Compliance Enforcement Proceeding' and 'Family Law General'. The last of the 39 payments was made in April 2022 – a $50,000 transfer to McGovern. Madafferi and McGovern have not yet filed a defence. McGovern and Madafferi were barred from leaving the country after ASIC requested Federal Court Justice Mark Moshinsky to issue travel bans against the men while the watchdog investigated. An update on ASIC's case is expected in September, when lawyers for the corporate regulator will front the court for a hearing.
