Commonwealth Bank of Australia stock pops as banks rebound — what to watch before CBA earnings

Commonwealth Bank of Australia stock pops as banks rebound — what to watch before CBA earnings

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 11:02 AEDT — Regular session Shares of Commonwealth Bank of Australia climbed 0.9% to A$154.60 by late morning in Sydney, up from Friday’s close of A$153.22. So far on Monday, the stock has fluctuated between A$153.01 and A$154.67. This matters because CBA stands as Australia’s biggest listed lender and a key player in local indices, often shaping the financial sector’s mood. With a results-packed period ahead, even minor shifts in rate forecasts could quickly rattle bank valuations. The S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.7% in early trading, with more sectors joining the rally, MarketIndex reported. (Market Index) Rival

This week kicks off with investor attention zeroed in on funding costs and borrower health, despite no new earnings reports hitting the tape. Westpac will release its first-quarter results on Feb. 13, offering

Northern Star stock rebounds as ASX traders eye Jan 22 costs update after guidance cut

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 11:04 AEDT — Regular session Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) shares climbed 2.2% on Monday, clawing back some losses after a guidance cut rattled the Australian gold miner earlier this month. By 11:04 a.m. AEDT, the stock traded at A$25.26, up from Friday’s close of A$24.72. (Intelligent Investor) The bounce is crucial since the company hasn’t updated its cost projections for the year yet. Investors are weighing if the late-quarter issues were isolated or if they’ll continue to erode throughput and cash flow. The next update arrives Jan 22, with the miner set to release its December-quarter

DroneShield stock (ASX:DRO) slides as JPMorgan pops up as 5% holder — what investors watch next

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 11:02 AEDT — Regular session Shares of DroneShield Ltd slipped on Monday after a filing revealed JPMorgan Chase & Co and its affiliates had taken a substantial stake in the counter-drone company.

Zip Co stock jumps on Trump credit-card rate cap talk as ASX:ZIP gets fresh bid

Sydney, 12 January 2026, 10:57 AEDT — Regular session Shares of Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP) climbed up to 6.4%, hitting A$3.80 by 10:42 a.m. AEDT on Monday. The rise continued from an early jump at the open, with buy-now-pay-later stocks gaining ground in consumer finance. (Market Index) This matters because Zip’s stock reacts heavily to sentiment around U.S. consumer credit, not just its own performance. Changes in card lending rules or pricing can alter the borrower pool BNPL companies target, as well as how much it costs to fund them. This comes at a tricky time for investors assessing
