National Australia Bank (ASX: NAB) Stock: Latest News, Dividend, FY2025 Results, and 2026 Outlook (21 Dec 2025)

National Australia Bank Limited (ASX: NAB) is heading into the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar “big bank” cocktail of tailwinds and headaches: resilient earnings, steady shareholder returns, and a macro backdrop that can turn on a single inflation print. As of the latest available close (19 December 2025), NAB shares were at A$42.14, up on the day and sitting well above where the stock began the calendar year. Intelligent Investor That’s the headline. The story underneath it is about interest-rate expectations abruptly swinging from “cuts?” to “maybe hikes,” competitive pressure in mortgages and deposits, and investors weighing whether

Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) heads into the weekend of December 20, 2025 with investors weighing a rare mix of near-term catalysts: a major U.S. regulatory decision that expands legal “smoke-free” options, a high-yield dividend with a fast-approaching ex-date, and fresh Wall Street updates on valuation and price targets. Shares last closed at $58.07 on Friday, December 19, giving Altria a market capitalization of roughly $97.48 billion and leaving the stock well off its 52-week high of $68.60 (while still above the 52-week low of $50.08).

McDonald’s Stock (NYSE: MCD) Outlook for 2026: Latest News, Dividend Update, and Analyst Price Targets as of Dec. 20, 2025

McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) is heading into the final stretch of 2025 in a familiar position for long-term investors: a defensive blue-chip with a dividend track record, a globally scaled franchise model, and a brand that tends to hold up when consumers get cautious. But the conversation around McDonald’s stock is shifting as 2026 approaches—away from “Will people still buy burgers?” and toward a more nuanced question: Can McDonald’s rebuild “value leadership” without creating new friction in its franchise system—or compressing margins to get traffic back? As of Friday’s close, McDonald’s shares finished at $315.84, down 1.19% on the day,

Pfizer Stock (NYSE: PFE) on Dec. 20, 2025: 2026 Forecast, Dividend Outlook, and the Catalysts Wall Street Is Watching

Pfizer’s stock is ending 2025 in a familiar place: caught between near-term headwinds (shrinking COVID-era revenue, a growing patent cliff, and U.S. drug-pricing pressure) and a late-decade recovery narrative built around oncology, obesity, and pipeline execution. As of the latest available trade/close data around Dec. 20, Pfizer shares are near $25.19, modestly higher on the most recent session. Investing.com That price level matters because it frames the debate investors are having right now: Is PFE a high-yield “wait-it-out” turnaround, or a value trap until new launches and major clinical wins begin to offset upcoming losses of exclusivity?

Carnival Corporation & plc Stock (NYSE: CCL) Jumps on Dividend Return, Record FY2025 Results, and a 2026 Outlook That Has Analysts Repricing the Cruise Giant

Carnival Corporation & plc stock is closing out 2025 with the kind of headline stack investors usually reserve for a comeback movie: record full‑year profit and revenue, investment‑grade leverage metrics, the first dividend in more than five years, and a proposal to simplify its unusual dual‑listed structure. The market’s initial reaction was loud—CCL finished Friday (Dec. 19) up about 9.8% at $31.12 after trading as high as $31.49, with volume north of 83 million shares.

December 20, 2025 — Ferrovial SE (NASDAQ: FER; Spain: FER; Euronext Amsterdam: FER) is ending the week in a very different universe than most “infrastructure” stocks: on Monday, December 22, 2025, the company is set to join the Nasdaq-100, a club better known for megacap tech than toll roads. Reuters+1 That index milestone lands alongside two shareholder-friendly moves that help explain why Ferrovial stock has been under an unusually bright spotlight in December: a new €800 million share repurchase program and a cash dividend scheduled to be paid from December 22.

Singtel Stock (SGX: Z74) Outlook on Dec 20, 2025: Dividend Momentum, Data Centre Upside, and Optus Risk in Focus

Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel) has spent 2025 giving investors a very “telecom-utility-meets-digital-infrastructure” storyline: steadier core earnings, bigger dividends, and a widening exposure to data centres—while its Australian unit Optus keeps generating headlines for all the wrong reasons. As of Dec 20, 2025 (a Saturday, when SGX is closed), Singtel stock is being priced as a hybrid: a regional telco with meaningful stakes in fast-growing associates and a growing digital infrastructure platform, but still carrying Optus execution and regulatory overhang.

DBS Group Holdings (D05) Stock: Latest News, Dividend Outlook and 2026 Forecasts (As of Dec 20, 2025)

SINGAPORE, Dec 20, 2025 — DBS Group Holdings Ltd (SGX: D05) has spent much of 2025 doing what banks love to do: turning macro noise into shareholder yield. But the most market-moving storyline right now isn’t just “rates up, rates down.” It’s a mix of big-ticket capital returns, wealth and fee momentum, and a fresh strategic win in renminbi (RMB) infrastructure that could broaden DBS’s role in Asia’s cross-border money plumbing. DBS shares last closed at S$54.87 on Dec 19 (Singapore market was shut on Dec 20), leaving the stock just off its 52-week high of S$56.00 set earlier this

OCBC Stock Surges to Fresh Highs: Latest News, Dividend Outlook, and Analyst Forecasts as of Dec 20, 2025

SINGAPORE (Dec 20, 2025) — Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC), Singapore’s second-largest bank by assets, has ended the week near record territory after a steady run of gains that has put the spotlight back on Singapore bank stocks as a “quality income + wealth management” trade. OCBC shares opened at a new high of S$19.69 on Dec 19 and closed at S$19.55, according to local market reporting. The Straits Times While the broader banking narrative across Asia remains complicated by rate-cycle uncertainty and patchy credit conditions, OCBC’s recent momentum reflects a more specific mix: rising wealth-management contributions, ongoing capital-return expectations, and

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.
