London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) Stock: Boxing Day Snapshot, Buyback Moves, AI Partnerships, and Analyst Forecasts (26 December 2025)

London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) Stock: Boxing Day Snapshot, Buyback Moves, AI Partnerships, and Analyst Forecasts (26 December 2025)

London Stock Exchange Group plc (LON: LSEG) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with a weirdly quiet tape—because the tape is literally paused. The London Stock Exchange is closed on Friday, 26 December (Boxing Day), following the early close on 24 December and the Christmas Day shutdown. MoneyWeek With markets shut, investors are using the pause to do what they always do when they can’t trade: re-run the narrative. And LSEG’s narrative in late 2025 has three big chapters: Below is what’s current as of 26 December 2025, spanning the latest available pricing, recent company activity, and the most

Shell Plc Stock (SHEL) News on Dec. 26, 2025: Buybacks, Gulf Discoveries, and Analyst Forecasts Into 2026

Shell Plc Stock (SHEL) News on Dec. 26, 2025: Buybacks, Gulf Discoveries, and Analyst Forecasts Into 2026

December 26, 2025 — Shell plc stock is heading into the final stretch of the year with a familiar tug-of-war shaping sentiment: aggressive capital returns and resilient deepwater projects on one side, and a softer oil-price outlook plus renewed takeover chatter on the other. With holiday-thinned trading conditions in late December, the market’s focus has shifted toward what investors can actually measure over the next few weeks: buyback execution, near-term operational catalysts in the U.S. Gulf, and the next earnings and dividend checkpoints early in 2026.

Unilever PLC Stock (UL, ULVR) Outlook on Dec. 26, 2025: Magnum Spin-Off Aftermath, Analyst Targets, and What Comes Next

Unilever PLC Stock (UL, ULVR) Outlook on Dec. 26, 2025: Magnum Spin-Off Aftermath, Analyst Targets, and What Comes Next

December 26, 2025 — Unilever PLC stock is ending 2025 with a simpler corporate shape, a fresh set of catalysts, and (inevitably) a new set of debates about what the company should be worth. In early December, Unilever completed the demerger of its ice cream business into The Magnum Ice Cream Company, then followed with a share consolidation designed to keep per‑share metrics comparable post-split. Reuters On December 26 (Boxing Day), markets in the UK are closed, so the headline Unilever share price in London is essentially a “holiday snapshot” rather than a live tug-of-war between buyers and sellers.

Anglo American plc Stock (LSE:AAL) on 26 December 2025: Teck Merger Milestones, Copper Rally and Analyst Forecasts

December 26, 2025 is one of those awkward “news day without a market day” moments in London: UK markets are shut for Boxing Day, so Anglo American plc stock (LSE:AAL) isn’t trading today. The last reported LSE price on widely followed market pages is 3,012 GBX, as of December 24, 2025, with the stock up about 28.9% over one year. FT Markets Yet the story around Anglo American shares is moving anyway—because the company sits at the intersection of two forces that rarely stay quiet over the holidays: copper prices and mega-deal regulation.

Rio Tinto plc Stock (RIO): Latest News, Dividend Outlook, and 2026 Forecasts as of Dec. 26, 2025

Dec. 26, 2025 — Rio Tinto plc stock is heading into the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar identity—and a newly sharpened narrative. It’s still the iron-ore giant whose cash flows can swing with China’s steel cycle. But in the past few weeks, investors have been repricing Rio as something closer to a “materials platform” for the electrification era: copper growth, aluminium discipline, and an emerging lithium pillar—wrapped in a CEO-led push to simplify, sell non-core assets, and squeeze more output (and cash) out of the existing base. Reuters Because December 26 (Boxing Day) is a market holiday in

Dec. 26, 2025 — HSBC Holdings Plc stock is heading into year-end with a rare mix of “quiet tape, loud fundamentals.” Trading is muted across key venues due to holiday schedules, but the newsflow around strategy and governance is anything but sleepy: HSBC is pushing a major Hong Kong simplification play via its planned Hang Seng Bank privatisation, refreshing leadership at board and business-unit level, and setting up a catalyst-heavy start to 2026.

London | Friday, 26 December 2025 — The UK stock market is effectively on pause today, with the London Stock Exchange closed for the Boxing Day bank holiday. But “no trading” doesn’t mean “no market story”: investors are spending the day digesting a strong 2025 run for the FTSE 100, fresh signals from the make-or-break retail season, and a global backdrop dominated by a year-end risk rally and a fresh spike in precious metals that could ripple through London-listed miners when UK dealing resumes.

BSE Ltd Share Price Today (26 Dec 2025): Stock Slips on Thin Trade as BANKEX Revamp Kicks In; What Analysts Forecast Next

BSE Ltd’s stock spent Friday, December 26, 2025, in a cautious zone as Indian equities drifted lower in thin year-end trading—and as investors digested a key near-term catalyst: the revamp of the BSE BANKEX index, designed to make the banking benchmark more “derivatives-friendly” and, in theory, more competitive in the index options arena. Reuters At the same time, the market is still processing this week’s headline cycle around new monthly index option products—a report that helped push the stock up earlier in the week, followed by a company clarification that it had no undisclosed price-sensitive information to announce under SEBI’s

HDFC Bank Limited Stock (NSE: HDFCBANK) on 26 December 2025: Share Price Today, Latest News, Analyst Targets and 2026 Outlook

HDFC Bank Limited (NSE: HDFCBANK; BSE: 500180) traded slightly lower on Friday, 26 December 2025, moving broadly in line with a subdued Indian equity session marked by thin year-end volumes and weakness across key sectors such as financials and IT. By early afternoon, HDFC Bank was quoted around the ₹990 level, down roughly 0.7% on the day, with an intraday range just under ₹1,000. Moneycontrol That “quiet drift” matters for a stock like HDFC Bank because the market is increasingly treating it as a referendum on two things at once: (1) how quickly post-merger balance-sheet normalisation converts into faster growth

Business Standard By midday, Panacea Biotec’s share price was sharply higher and trading at levels not seen in weeks, supported by heavy volumes and a surge in traded value.
