London, 13 December 2025 — London Stock Exchange Group plc (LON: LSEG) is ending the week with investors juggling two big ideas at once: (1) LSEG as an “AI-era” data and analytics tollbooth, and (2) LSEG as a disciplined capital-return story that keeps leaning on buybacks while tightening its grip on post-trade economics. Because today is Saturday, UK markets are closed; the latest available session was Friday, 12 December 2025.

Anglo American plc Stock News & Forecast (13 December 2025): Teck Merger Milestones, Analyst Price Targets, and Key Risks

Anglo American plc shares (LSE: AAL; commonly quoted as AAL.L) head into the weekend with investors focused on one dominating storyline: the proposed “merger of equals” with Canada’s Teck Resources, a deal designed to reshape Anglo American into a far more copper‑heavy company at a moment when copper has become the metal of choice for both the energy transition and the AI-era buildout of power-hungry data centers. Reuters+1 As of 13 December 2025, Anglo American is quoted around 2,817p (£28.17), after a weaker end to the week. That places the stock well above its 52‑week lows but still below the

Compass Group PLC Stock (LSE: CPG) Update: Share Price Near 12-Month Lows as FY2026 Outlook, Vermaat Deal and Analyst Forecasts Take Center Stage (13 Dec 2025)

Compass Group PLC (LSE: CPG)—the FTSE 100 contract catering and food services giant—heads into mid-December with its share price hovering near the lower end of its 52-week range, even after delivering another year of strong profit growth and setting out fresh FY2026 guidance. The near-term narrative is being shaped by three big threads: (1) a softer-looking growth rate in 2026 as inflation cools, (2) the next leg of M&A-driven expansion, led by the Vermaat acquisition now cleared by EU regulators, and (3) a cluster of broker notes arguing the recent pullback has opened a potentially attractive entry point for long-term

London — December 13, 2025 International Consolidated Airlines Group S.A.

London, 13 December 2025 — Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (LSE: RKT) heads into mid‑December with its shares hovering around the psychologically important 6,000p level after a strong year, as investors weigh three big forces: a steady stream of share buybacks, faster growth in emerging markets (especially China and India), and the ongoing legal overhang tied to U.S. infant-formula (NEC) litigation. Hargreaves Lansdown+2Reuters+2 What’s unusual (and very 2025) is that part of Reckitt’s growth narrative is being powered by modern commerce tactics—livestreaming, influencers and even AI-generated avatars—while the stock story remains anchored in old-fashioned capital returns and portfolio simplification.
