Aristocrat Leisure stock rises on A$750 million buyback extension as investors eye next AGM

SYDNEY, January 10, 2026, 17:50 (AEDT) — Market closed Aristocrat Leisure Ltd (ASX:ALL) shares closed 1.0% higher on Friday after the gaming supplier widened its on-market share buy-back, ending at A$57.22. (Aristocrat) That matters now because a buy-back reduces the number of shares on issue, which can lift earnings per share over time, and it can also flag confidence about cash flow. The move came as the S&P/ASX 200 finished little changed, leaving room for stock-specific news to steer the tape. (Yahoo Finance) Aristocrat said it has repurchased A$701.1 mln of shares since February 2025 and now has approval to

Tunbridge Wells taps wobble again: South East Water targets Jan 13 fix as MPs press for answers

LONDON, Jan 10, 2026, 06:30 GMT South East Water said on Friday it expects to restore water supplies in Tunbridge Wells by Tuesday after recent pipe bursts left some customers facing low pressure or no water, even as repairs continued across the network. The company said the water “remains safe to use as normal” and stressed the latest disruption is separate from the earlier boil water notice. (southeastwater.co.uk) The Kent town is still jittery after last month’s crisis, when about 24,000 homes were without drinking water for roughly two weeks.

BlueScope Steel (ASX:BSL) stock pinned at A$30 after AustralianSuper backs takeover snub

Sydney, Jan 10, 2026, 17:33 AEDT — Market closed. BlueScope Steel Ltd (ASX:BSL) ended Friday at A$30.00, up 2.0%, after its biggest shareholder AustralianSuper backed the company’s rejection of a A$30-a-share takeover approach. The fund said the offer undervalued the steelmaker, tightening the pressure on suitors SGH Ltd and U.S.-based Steel Dynamics. (Reuters) An ASX notice showed AustralianSuper lifted its voting power to 13.52% from 12.50% after buying shares earlier in the week. In a scheme of arrangement — a court-supervised takeover that needs shareholder approval — that stake can make or break a deal. (Company Announcements) SGH and Steel

Wesfarmers stock (ASX:WES) ends at A$81 — the next dates investors are circling

Sydney, Jan 10, 2026, 17:24 AEDT — Market closed Wesfarmers Limited (WES.AX) shares ended Friday up 0.12% at A$81.06, a small lift ahead of Monday’s open on the Australian market. The stock is a clean read on the household in Australia: a lot of shopping baskets, a lot of home projects. When rate expectations swing, retailers like Wesfarmers can get dragged with them, even without fresh company news. That matters right now because the debate has shifted back to how long policy stays tight, not just when it loosens. Higher borrowing costs hit consumers first and they usually hit discretionary

The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 closed down 3 points at 8,717.80. (Small Caps) That matters because the big banks trade like rate proxies.
