Fortescue Ltd Stock (ASX: FMG) Today: Alta Copper Deal, Analyst Forecasts, and the 2026 Iron Ore & Copper Outlook

Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG) is back in the spotlight on 15 December 2025 after the iron ore heavyweight announced a move that’s small in immediate dollars but big in strategic intent: Fortescue plans to buy the remaining 64% of Canada-listed Alta Copper it doesn’t already own, taking full control of a long-life copper project in Peru. Reuters+1 For investors, the question isn’t just “What did Fortescue buy?” It’s what this says about where Fortescue wants to go next—and how that ambition fits alongside the company’s still-dominant exposure to iron ore prices, China’s steel cycle, and the market’s expectations for dividends.

Sydney, 15 December 2025 — Macquarie Group Limited (ASX:MQG; ADR: MQBKY) entered the final full trading weeks of the year with investors juggling three big storylines at once: a near-term dividend payment, a capital-management program that can keep soaking up stock, and a debate about whether the group’s earnings engine is merely “between cycles” or structurally cooling. Macquarie On the tape, the day was mildly negative. Macquarie shares finished around A$200.2 on 15 December, down roughly 0.7%, after trading between ~A$199.38 and ~A$202.93.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia Stock (ASX:CBA) Update: Share Price Dips on 15 December 2025 as Rate-Hike Talk Returns and ASB Faces NZ AML Court Action

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA) started the week under pressure on Monday, 15 December 2025, with its share price slipping alongside a broader pullback in Australian equities.
