ASX ‘poster child’ Afterpay leapfrogs Telstra – afr.com
Afterpay has cemented its status as growth star on the Australian sharemarket, overtaking Telstra to become the 13th-largest stock by market capitalisation.
“A lot of people see this is a market that can fund your growth and that’s the story here. We’ve never been more confident about the Australian tech scene.”
