Singtel Stock (SGX:Z74) on 26 Dec 2025: Latest News, Analyst Targets, Forecasts and What to Watch in 2026

Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel) has spent much of 2025 behaving less like a sleepy incumbent telco and more like a hybrid telecom + digital infrastructure story—helped by asset recycling, capital returns, and renewed attention on data centres and regional associates. As of 26 December 2025, Singtel shares traded around S$4.59–S$4.60, up about 1.1% on the day and still not far from recent highs. SG InvestorsThe bigger question investors are wrestling with into 2026: can Singtel keep compounding “steady telco cashflows” with “infrastructure-style growth,” while containing the real-world operational and regulatory risks that come with being a critical national and regional

OCBC Stock (SGX:O39) on 26 Dec 2025: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, Dividend and 2026 Outlook

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC) is closing out 2025 with its share price hovering near record territory—an eye-catching finish in a year where Singapore bank stocks have been pulled between two big forces: falling rate tailwinds turning into margin headwinds, and a surge in fee-driven wealth activity that’s been doing the heavy lifting for earnings. On 26 December 2025, OCBC shares were trading at S$19.860 (up 0.40% on the day at the time of the snapshot), with a day range of S$19.660 to S$19.890 and a 52-week range of S$14.350 to S$19.950—a very “near-the-ceiling” setup heading into year-end positioning and

Singapore Stock Market Today (26 Dec 2025): STI Edges Higher as Thin Holiday Trade Absorbs Strong Factory Data and 2026 Outlooks

SINGAPORE — Singapore shares ended slightly firmer on Friday, 26 December 2025, as the Straits Times Index (STI) held near year-end highs despite holiday-thinned liquidity across Asia. The session’s tone was shaped by a mix of local growth signals—notably a strong jump in Singapore’s factory output—alongside global cross-currents from record precious-metal prices, a shifting US rate-cut narrative, and fresh policy and corporate developments that investors see as supportive for Singapore equities going into 2026. Investing Market Wrap: Straits Times Index closes higher, tests a 52-week high The benchmark STI closed at 4,642.18, up 5.84 points (+0.13%) on the day. Trading

Xero Limited stock is spending Boxing Day (26 December 2025) in “market-closed, investors-thinking” mode. The ASX is shut for the public holiday, following an early close on Wednesday, 24 December. Australian Securities Exchange As of the last session (24 December 2025), Xero (ASX:XRO) closed at A$112.78, capping a bruising year: the stock’s 2025 range spans roughly A$108.20 to A$196.52, and the “This Year (2025)” performance shown by one major market data provider is down about 32%. Intelligent Investor That drawdown is why Xero is still a headline name even on a quiet calendar day: it’s not a microcap story. Xero’s

Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX:WBC) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with its share price still sitting near multi-year highs—but with a noticeably more cautious tone in analyst price targets. With the ASX closed for Boxing Day (Friday, 26 December 2025), investors are using the holiday lull to digest a busy run of updates on strategy, regulation, governance and the evolving scam-and-cybersecurity arms race that is reshaping how banks allocate tech spend.

December 26, 2025 Macquarie Group Limited—often called Australia’s “millionaires factory” for its investment-banking pedigree and performance-linked culture—heads into the final week of 2025 with investors balancing three big forces: a diversified earnings engine that can shine when markets and dealmaking cooperate, a regulatory headline cycle that refuses to fully go away, and a set of analyst forecasts that still imply upside—just not the kind that comes without footnotes. As of Dec. 26, 2025, Macquarie Group shares are quoted around A$205.03, reflecting the most recent close from Dec. 24 (with local market holidays affecting trading days).

DroneShield Limited Stock (ASX:DRO): Latest Contract Wins, Governance Reset, and Analyst Forecasts as 2026 Nears

SYDNEY, 26 December 2025 — DroneShield Limited (ASX:DRO) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with two fresh catalysts on investors’ screens: another military-linked contract win in Asia Pacific and a formal governance “reset” designed to rebuild confidence after a sharp, controversial sell-off in November. Because the ASX cash market is closed on Boxing Day (Friday, 26 December), the most current tradable reference point for DroneShield shares is the last ASX session before the holiday break.

Fortescue Ltd (ASX:FMG) heads into the final week of 2025 in a familiar tug-of-war: the company remains one of the ASX’s most direct “iron ore price” plays, but the narrative around Fortescue stock is widening again—toward copper, supply-chain bottlenecks at Port Hedland, and the longer game of decarbonising steel. Boxing Day (December 26, 2025) adds a practical wrinkle for investors: the Australian Securities Exchange is closed today, so price discovery is paused locally while global macro headlines keep moving.

Treasury Wine Estates (ASX:TWE) Stock News Today: Billionaire Stake Sparks a Bounce, but the 2026 Earnings Reset Is the Real Story

December 26, 2025 — Treasury Wine Estates Limited (ASX: TWE) is ending 2025 with a plot twist worthy of a prestige drama: a bruising year for the share price, a sudden “billionaire investor” headline, and a management-led earnings reset that could define the stock’s next 12–24 months. Because the ASX is closed for the Boxing Day holiday, the most recent trade is December 24, when TWE closed at A$5.39, up 7.58% on the day.

As India heads into the final week of 2025, the PAN–Aadhaar linkage story has surged back into the news cycle—this time with a sharp year-end cutoff and a clear risk: an “inoperative” PAN from 1 January 2026 for those who miss the requirement.
