0014 GMT - Qube Holdings' trading update emphasizes that debt management is its focus right now, says RBC Capital Markets. The owner of Patrick ports had gearing of 27.2% at the end of June. Gearing is expected to reach the middle of Qube's 30%-40% target range during FY 2025. Qube is targeting A$180 million-A$250 million of asset sales, with the bulk of proceeds coming in late FY 2025 and early FY 2026.
