ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX: ANZ) entered the final stretch of 2025 with its share price still near multi-month highs — but with investors juggling two very different storylines at once: a strong run in bank stocks and dividends on one side, and a fresh wave of governance and regulatory headlines on the other. As of 23 December 2025, ANZ shares were trading around A$36.68 (after a previous close near A$36.27), moving within an intraday range of roughly A$36.15 to A$36.77, and inside a 52‑week range of about A$26.22 to A$38.93.

DroneShield Limited stock (ASX:DRO) is back in the spotlight on 23 December 2025 after a turbulent stretch that mixed blockbuster contract headlines with very public governance questions. By late morning in Australia, a delayed quote put DroneShield shares around A$3.02—well off the recent highs, but materially above last month’s lows as investors reassess what’s real momentum and what’s just volatility with better branding. MarketWatch The immediate story has two moving parts: (1) demand for counter‑drone technology translating into large defence orders, and (2) a credibility reset, after insider selling and disclosure controversy spooked the market and forced the board into

BHP Group Ltd shares are closing out 2025 with two huge forces pulling in opposite directions: a powerful tailwind from record-setting metals prices (especially copper), and a stubborn set of headline risks—legal uncertainty tied to the 2015 Brazil dam disaster and ongoing tension around iron ore trade terms with China’s state-backed buying group.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA) shares rallied on Tuesday, 23 December 2025, as investors weighed two storylines moving Australia’s largest bank stock right now: CommBank’s fresh commitment to “goodwill” payments tied to ASIC’s bank-fee review, and new Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) minutes that openly discuss the circumstances for a rate hike in 2026.

Westpac share price today (ASX: WBC): RBA minutes reshape rate outlook as buyback, dividend and analyst forecasts collide — 23 December 2025

Westpac Banking Corporation shares were higher on Tuesday as Australia’s big banks helped lift the broader market into a pre‑holiday rally. By mid‑afternoon AEDT, Westpac (ASX: WBC) was up about 1.2% to around A$39.21, broadly in line with a strong session for the ASX 200. But the day’s bounce is only the surface story. Underneath it sits a busier mix of catalysts investors are weighing as 2025 closes out: a central bank that’s sounding less “cut-friendly” than markets once hoped, an on‑market buyback still chewing through shares, a fully franked dividend that keeps yield hunters interested, and a set of
