Updated: Sunday, 14 December 2025 (AEST) Brambles Limited (ASX: BXB) heads into the new trading week with attention firmly on one theme: capital returns via its on‑market share buy‑back—and the steady drip of ASX filings showing how many shares are being repurchased and cancelled. With no major Brambles-specific calendar events in the next few days, short-term price action may continue to be shaped by buyback execution, market sentiment, and macro signals that influence global industrials and offshore earners. As of 14 December 2025, Brambles was indicated around A$22.99, versus a prior close of A$22.81, with a 52‑week range of A$18.65–A$26.93.

Updated: Sunday, 14 December 2025 (AEST)Stock: Woolworths Group Limited (ASX:WOW) Woolworths Group Ltd shares head into the new week with investors juggling two big themes that rarely sit comfortably together: political heat (fresh regulation aimed at “price gouging”) and execution stories (faster delivery, bigger digital baskets, and a once-in-a-generation logistics rebuild).
