Northern Star stock rebounds as ASX traders eye Jan 22 costs update after guidance cut

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 11:04 AEDT — Regular session Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) shares climbed 2.2% on Monday, clawing back some losses after a guidance cut rattled the Australian gold miner earlier this month. By 11:04 a.m. AEDT, the stock traded at A$25.26, up from Friday’s close of A$24.72. (Intelligent Investor) The bounce is crucial since the company hasn’t updated its cost projections for the year yet. Investors are weighing if the late-quarter issues were isolated or if they’ll continue to erode throughput and cash flow. The next update arrives Jan 22, with the miner set to release its December-quarter

DroneShield stock (ASX:DRO) slides as JPMorgan pops up as 5% holder — what investors watch next

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 11:02 AEDT — Regular session Shares of DroneShield Ltd slipped on Monday after a filing revealed JPMorgan Chase & Co and its affiliates had taken a substantial stake in the counter-drone company.

Apple stock eyes January 29 earnings after rare losing streak; Evercore lifts target, keeps “top pick”

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 19:13 (EST) — Market closed. Apple shares ended Friday near $259.37, ticking up about 0.1% from the previous close. That slight gain follows a rough start to the year, with the stock recovering from a rare losing streak. (Yahoo Finance) Why this matters now: Apple approaches its late-January earnings report amid a tug-of-war.

This pressure builds as memory prices climb and competitors ramp up AI capabilities. (MarketWatch) The stock’s drop on Friday caught attention on Wall Street as it

Zip Co stock jumps on Trump credit-card rate cap talk as ASX:ZIP gets fresh bid

Sydney, 12 January 2026, 10:57 AEDT — Regular session Shares of Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP) climbed up to 6.4%, hitting A$3.80 by 10:42 a.m. AEDT on Monday. The rise continued from an early jump at the open, with buy-now-pay-later stocks gaining ground in consumer finance. (Market Index) This matters because Zip’s stock reacts heavily to sentiment around U.S. consumer credit, not just its own performance. Changes in card lending rules or pricing can alter the borrower pool BNPL companies target, as well as how much it costs to fund them. This comes at a tricky time for investors assessing
