ANZ Group Holdings Limited Stock (ASX: ANZ): $250m Federal Court Penalty, AGM Pay “Strike”, Dividend Paid — and Analyst Forecasts as of 20 Dec 2025

Updated 20 December 2025 (AEST). ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX: ANZ) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with a rare mix of competing narratives: strong shareholder income (a final dividend just landed), a major strategic reset under new CEO Nuno Matos, and a heavy governance/regulatory overhang after a Federal Court-ordered A$250 million penalty tied to misconduct spanning both institutional markets activity and retail banking failures. ASIC+2ANZ+2 For investors and would-be investors, the core question isn’t whether any one of these headlines matters — it’s which one matters most for ANZ stock from here: the earnings base and capital return

Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG) heads into the weekend with investors juggling three big forces that rarely play nicely together: an iron ore market that’s proving tougher than many expected, a fresh push into copper via the proposed buyout of Alta Copper, and a decarbonisation strategy that’s shifting from “hydrogen hype” toward nearer-term industrial projects like green iron and electrification.

Prediction Markets Go Mainstream in 2025: DraftKings Launches Predictions App, Coinbase Sues States, and Polymarket’s POLY Token Buzz Builds

December 20, 2025 — A product launch from DraftKings, fresh lawsuits from Coinbase, and renewed momentum around Polymarket are turning prediction markets into one of the fastest-moving stories in fintech and crypto right now. What used to be a niche corner of “event contracts” is rapidly becoming a mainstream battleground—pulling in sportsbooks, trading platforms, regulators, and even major media brands.

Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) Stock: Latest News, Share Price Forecasts, and What to Watch in 2026

Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX:NST) has spent much of 2025 behaving like a classic gold-leverage trade: when bullion sprints, miners with scale, liquidity and a credible growth pipeline tend to get pulled along like iron filings to a magnet. But heading into the final stretch of the year, the story has become more nuanced—less “gold up = stock up,” and more about execution, costs, capex, and how quickly the company can translate a stronger gold price into sustainable free cash flow. As of the latest market close, Northern Star shares finished at A$25.82 on 19 December 2025, down 3.37% on
