Beam shares rise 10.25% premarket after receiving $9.03M from Zoleo dispute resolution.

Beam Communications (ASX:BCC) surged 10.25% in premarket trading following the announcement of a US$9.03 million lump-sum payment from Roadpost, fully resolving its Zoleo divestment and related disputes. The upfront cash settlement accelerates previously deferred payments, strengthens Beam’s balance sheet, and eliminates residual risks from the joint venture. The resolution, confirmed on January 26, 2026, includes a R&W insurance policy capping Beam’s liability at US$100,000, with no further operational or financial exposure to Zoleo. This development aligns with Wall Street analysts’ recent positive ratings, including “Outperform” and “Buy” calls, and follows significant institutional buying activity in Q3 2025. The news directly addresses investor concerns over litigation and cash flow uncertainty, driving immediate premarket optimism.
