Anglo American plc Stock (AAL): Dividend Dates, Anglo‑Teck Merger Milestones, and 2026 Copper Forecasts (Dec. 23, 2025)

London-listed Anglo American plc is ending 2025 with its investment story compressed into two big levers: a once-in-a-generation copper market and a once-in-a-generation corporate reshuffle. On December 23, those levers are both moving. The company has published provisional 2026 dividend timetables, while the proposed Anglo‑Teck “merger of equals” has cleared major procedural and political hurdles in Canada—yet still faces the final, fussy gatekeepers of global competition and regulatory approvals. At the same time, copper is flirting with the $12,000/ton level amid supply disruptions and tariff-driven distortions that have split the market into “metal-rich” and “metal-starved” regions.

London — December 23, 2025 — NatWest Group Plc stock (LSE: NWG, NYSE ADR: NWG) is back in the spotlight after pushing to a new 52‑week high of 648.80p in today’s trading session, extending a powerful rerating that has lifted the shares by roughly 62% over the past year. Financial Times Markets The rally is happening against a backdrop that should, in theory, make investors more cautious about bank profitability: the Bank of England has just cut rates to 3.75%, mortgage pricing competition is intensifying, and the market is trying to handicap what “normal” earnings look like once the UK

Shell Plc stock is heading into year-end with a familiar mix of forces tugging on the share price: a steady drumbeat of buybacks and project approvals on one side, and a crude market that looks increasingly “range-bound” in the low-$60s with a 2026 oversupply narrative on the other.

BP PLC Stock on Dec. 23, 2025: Share Price, New CEO Meg O’Neill, Castrol Sale Talks, Buybacks, and 2026 Oil Outlook

BP PLC stock is ending 2025 with a familiar mix of Big Oil fundamentals and BP-specific drama: a surprise leadership reset, a high-stakes divestment agenda (with Castrol at the center), and a market that’s trying to price 2026 oil demand against an oversupplied-looking crude backdrop. As of Tuesday, December 23, 2025, investors are digesting what BP’s board appears to be signaling: “more discipline, fewer detours.” The big question for BP shares (LSE: BP. / NYSE: BP) is whether that message translates into higher cash flow, lower net debt, and steadier shareholder returns—or simply another chapter in the company’s multi-year strategic

Unilever PLC stock is heading into year-end with a rare combination of “boring-staples” defensive qualities and very non-boring corporate action. The company has now completed the demerger of its ice cream business into The Magnum Ice Cream Company (TMICC) and executed a share consolidation (reverse split) designed to keep per-share metrics comparable post-spin. At the same time, management is pitching a sharper growth story—more beauty and wellbeing, more premium innovation, and a bigger U.S. deal pipeline—while analysts debate whether the “new Unilever” can finally deliver stronger, more reliable volume growth.
