Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) Stock: Share Price, Latest News, Analyst Forecasts and 2026 Catalysts (18 Dec 2025)

Sydney, 18 December 2025 — Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST) shares traded lower on Thursday as Australian equities softened and gold-miner sentiment cooled, even with bullion still hovering near historic highs. By late afternoon in Australia, spot gold was steady around US$4,332/oz, with investors focused on upcoming US inflation data and what it could mean for interest rates and the US dollar. Reuters That macro backdrop matters for Northern Star because gold miners are, in practice, a hybrid of commodity exposure and operational execution: the gold price can lift revenue quickly, but costs, project delivery, and mine performance decide

Wesfarmers (ASX: WES) Share Price Today: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts and What Investors Are Watching on 18 December 2025

Wesfarmers Limited shares (ASX: WES) are back in the spotlight on Thursday, 18 December 2025, as investors weigh fresh headlines from the group’s Wesfarmers Health / Priceline ecosystem alongside an ongoing debate about whether the stock’s premium valuation can be sustained into 2026. At around A$80.61 on the day, Wesfarmers is trading in a tight range near where many analysts already see “fair value” — which makes today’s news flow less about short-term price spikes and more about whether the company’s next wave of earnings drivers (productivity, AI, and longer-cycle bets like lithium) can keep the conglomerate compounding.

Sydney/Perth — 18 December 2025 — Fortescue Ltd (ASX:FMG) shares were modestly higher on Thursday as Australia’s big miners tracked a firmer iron ore market, while investors continued to digest a fresh push into copper and a steady drumbeat of decarbonisation-focused projects.

Mumbai: Shakti Pumps (India) Ltd has turned into one of the most closely tracked mid-cap names on Dalal Street this week—delivering a rapid-fire sequence of a steep rally, a sudden sell-off, and a fresh rebound that has traders and long-term investors debating the same question: is this a healthy reset after news-led gains, or the start of a wider cooldown? As of mid-morning on Thursday, December 18, 2025, Shakti Pumps was trading around ₹732 on NSE, up roughly 3.5% from the previous close after Wednesday’s sharp decline.

ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX: ANZ) Stock: AGM Second Strike, CEO Bonus Waiver, Dividend Outlook and Analyst Forecasts (18 December 2025)

SYDNEY — ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX: ANZ) shares were steady on Thursday after shareholders delivered a second consecutive “strike” against the bank’s remuneration report at its 2025 annual general meeting (AGM) — a governance flashpoint that can escalate into a board spill process under Australia’s rules. The immediate market response was muted, with Reuters reporting the stock trading around A$36.13 after early volatility. Reuters But don’t confuse “muted price action” with “no consequences.” ANZ’s AGM put three things on loudspeaker for investors assessing the ANZ share price into 2026: ANZ AGM 2025: the second strike is real — but

CSL Limited Stock (ASX: CSL): Buyback Update, Analyst Forecasts, and the Key Catalysts Shaping the CSL Share Price on 18 December 2025

CSL Limited (ASX: CSL) spent much of 2025 reminding investors of a brutal truth: even world-class biopharma franchises can get whacked when costs, policy, and sentiment all lean the wrong way at the same time. On 18 December 2025, the CSL share price was A$174.57 (delayed), up 0.68% on the day after trading between A$171.64 and A$174.65. Intelligent Investor The day’s most concrete “fresh” news is a buyback update—but the real story investors are pricing is broader: the post-pandemic reset in flu vaccination demand (and politics around vaccines), margin recovery in plasma, China-linked albumin uncertainty, and whether CSL’s cost-and-capital reset

Brambles Limited Stock (ASX:BXB) on 18 December 2025: Buyback Update, Share Count Moves, and Analyst Forecasts

Brambles Limited (ASX:BXB) spent Thursday, 18 December 2025, doing two very “Brambles” things at once: tightening its share base through an on‑market buyback, while also adding a small number of shares via its employee share plan. The result is a neat snapshot of how the CHEP pallet pooling giant is managing capital in FY26—against a backdrop of softer recent share-price momentum and a still‑constructive set of broker forecasts into 2026. BXB shares traded around the A$22.7–A$22.8 area intraday on Thursday, with market data showing a day range roughly between A$22.595 and A$23.035, and a 52‑week range of A$18.650 to A$26.930.

Indian equity benchmarks opened nearly flat on Thursday, December 18, 2025, after three straight sessions of losses, as a modest rebound in the rupee and renewed foreign buying offered support even while most major sectors started lower. Reuters But beneath the quiet headline indices, a clear theme is playing out on Dalal Street: select “breakout” counters are printing fresh 52-week highs, powered by a mix of commodity tailwinds (especially silver) and deal/corporate-action catalysts. A late-session market scan on Wednesday showed six BSE 500 names hitting new 52-week highs—Hindustan Zinc, The India Cements, Kirloskar Oil Engines, National Aluminium Company (NALCO), Shriram

Milan, February 7, 2026, 10:54 (CET) — Market closed.
