PLS share price slides after AustralianSuper trims stake — what to watch before ASX reopens

Sydney, Jan 17, 2026, 16:56 AEDT — The market has closed. Shares of PLS Group Limited fell 3.1% to A$4.68 on Friday after a late-session update revealed AustralianSuper had reduced its holding in the Australian lithium producer.

Sydney, Jan 17, 2026, 16:56 AEDT — Market closed. Macquarie Group (MQG.AX) shares climbed 2.6% on Friday, closing at A$211.86 and rounding off a solid week for Australia’s financial giants. The market values the group at roughly A$77.5 billion, based on figures from StockAnalysis.com.

Sydney, Jan 17, 2026, 16:56 AEDT — Market closed. Fortescue Ltd (FMG.AX) shares ended Friday 0.3% higher at A$22.82, following the start of construction on a 133-megawatt (MW) wind project in Western Australia. The Australian iron ore miner is advancing its strategy to replace diesel and gas at its Pilbara sites.
