Wesfarmers (ASX:WES) Share Price Today: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts and 2026 Outlook (15 December 2025)

Wesfarmers Limited (ASX:WES) is trading around the low-A$80s as Australia’s retail heavyweight heads into year-end with a rare combination of “steady defensive” cashflows and very modern questions about AI, privacy, and execution risk. As of mid-afternoon Monday, Wesfarmers’ own investor update showed the stock at A$81.20, up 0.73% on the day. Wesfarmers That price action comes after a packed few weeks for the conglomerate behind Bunnings, Kmart, Target, Officeworks, and a growing portfolio in health, chemicals/energy/fertilisers and lithium—including a new OpenAI partnership, a fresh tax transparency report, and the follow-through from its $1.50-per-share capital management payout earlier this month.

Fortescue Ltd Stock (ASX: FMG) Today: Alta Copper Deal, Analyst Forecasts, and the 2026 Iron Ore & Copper Outlook

Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG) is back in the spotlight on 15 December 2025 after the iron ore heavyweight announced a move that’s small in immediate dollars but big in strategic intent: Fortescue plans to buy the remaining 64% of Canada-listed Alta Copper it doesn’t already own, taking full control of a long-life copper project in Peru. Reuters+1 For investors, the question isn’t just “What did Fortescue buy?” It’s what this says about where Fortescue wants to go next—and how that ambition fits alongside the company’s still-dominant exposure to iron ore prices, China’s steel cycle, and the market’s expectations for dividends.

Sydney, 15 December 2025 — Macquarie Group Limited (ASX:MQG; ADR: MQBKY) entered the final full trading weeks of the year with investors juggling three big storylines at once: a near-term dividend payment, a capital-management program that can keep soaking up stock, and a debate about whether the group’s earnings engine is merely “between cycles” or structurally cooling. Macquarie On the tape, the day was mildly negative. Macquarie shares finished around A$200.2 on 15 December, down roughly 0.7%, after trading between ~A$199.38 and ~A$202.93.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia Stock (ASX:CBA) Update: Share Price Dips on 15 December 2025 as Rate-Hike Talk Returns and ASB Faces NZ AML Court Action

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA) started the week under pressure on Monday, 15 December 2025, with its share price slipping alongside a broader pullback in Australian equities. The immediate catalyst was a shift in interest-rate expectations after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) signalled it may be done easing—and warned borrowing costs could rise again if inflation remains sticky. TradingView At the same time, a fresh regulatory headline out of New Zealand hit the tape: the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has filed civil proceedings against ASB Bank—CBA’s New Zealand subsidiary—over alleged breaches of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing
