ST Engineering (SGX: S63) Stock Update: Latest News, Dividend Windfall, Order Book Outlook, and Analyst Forecasts as of 21 Dec 2025

SINGAPORE (21 Dec 2025) — Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) stock has become one of the Straits Times Index’s most closely watched names in late 2025, with investors weighing a rare “capital return moment” (special dividend + ongoing buybacks) against headline risks (a U.S. lawsuit involving a subsidiary) and a still-evolving satellite communications (satcom) story. As of 21 Dec 2025, ST Engineering shares were around S$8.18, implying a market cap of roughly S$25.5 billion and a trailing P/E in the low-30s, based on broker quote data.

Westpac Banking Corporation Stock (ASX: WBC) on 21 Dec 2025: Dividend Paid, Buyback Running, AGM Pressure — and Why Analysts Still Look Cautious

Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX: WBC) heads into the final full week before Christmas with its share price sitting near A$38.76 (last market close: 19 December 2025) after a strong 2025 run that’s seen the stock trade as high as A$41.00 and as low as A$28.44 during the year. Intelligent Investor But the mood around Westpac stock right now is less “party season” and more “valuation season”: shareholders have just banked a fully franked dividend, the on-market buyback is actively chewing through shares again, and the AGM delivered a reminder that big institutions can be profitable and politically complicated at the

ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX: ANZ) heads into the Christmas week with its share price holding around the mid‑A$36 level, while investors digest a sharp mix of catalysts: a record combined penalty tied to long-running compliance failures, a second consecutive “strike” against executive pay at the AGM, and a still-evolving earnings outlook shaped by mortgage competition, cost-cutting and shifting capital rules in New Zealand.

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).

AT&T Stock (NYSE:T) News and Forecasts: Goldman Cuts Target to $29, Dividend Holds, and 2026 Catalysts Take Shape

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) is closing out the week with investors balancing a familiar telecom mix: a high dividend yield, multi-year network investments, and a steady drumbeat of regulatory headlines tied to spectrum and consolidation. Shares have recently traded around $24.15. The Motley Fool What makes December 20, 2025 notable for AT&T stock watchers is how several threads converged in the same news cycle: fresh Wall Street research on free cash flow and buybacks, renewed attention on AT&T’s pending fiber and spectrum deals, and market commentary highlighting how price increases may lift near-term revenue—while potentially pressuring churn.

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.

Ferrovial SE Stock (NASDAQ: FER) News and Forecasts for Dec. 20, 2025: Nasdaq-100 Entry, €800M Buyback, Dividend, and the 2026 Outlook

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.
