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.
