Evolution Mining Limited (ASX:EVN) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with its share price hovering near a fresh 52‑week high—after a year dominated by surging Australian‑dollar gold prices, record cash generation, and a growing debate over whether the stock has simply run too far, too fast.

MCE Holdings Outlook (Dec 20, 2025): HLIB Keeps “Buy” as New Revenue Streams, Auto Hub and Perodua EV Supply Chain Set Up a Stronger 2026

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20, 2025 — MCE Holdings Bhd (Bursa Malaysia: MCEHLDG) is back on investors’ radar this weekend after a softer start to FY2026 collided with a more upbeat analyst narrative: Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) is keeping its BUY call and RM2.38 target price, arguing that new revenue streams and fresh model launches should lift sequential performance — even as market attention turns to whether Perodua’s battery leasing model slows early demand for its first homegrown EV.

Updated 20 December 2025 (AEST). ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX: ANZ) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with a rare mix of competing narratives: strong shareholder income (a final dividend just landed), a major strategic reset under new CEO Nuno Matos, and a heavy governance/regulatory overhang after a Federal Court-ordered A$250 million penalty tied to misconduct spanning both institutional markets activity and retail banking failures.

Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG) heads into the weekend with investors juggling three big forces that rarely play nicely together: an iron ore market that’s proving tougher than many expected, a fresh push into copper via the proposed buyout of Alta Copper, and a decarbonisation strategy that’s shifting from “hydrogen hype” toward nearer-term industrial projects like green iron and electrification. Reuters+2Global+2 On the last trading day before Saturday, December 20, Fortescue shares closed at A$21.88 on Friday (Dec. 19), down 3.23% on the session—after trading between A$21.75 and A$22.50—with volume around 16.84 million shares, notably above recent norms.

Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) Stock: Latest News, Share Price Forecasts, and What to Watch in 2026

Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX:NST) has spent much of 2025 behaving like a classic gold-leverage trade: when bullion sprints, miners with scale, liquidity and a credible growth pipeline tend to get pulled along like iron filings to a magnet. But heading into the final stretch of the year, the story has become more nuanced—less “gold up = stock up,” and more about execution, costs, capex, and how quickly the company can translate a stronger gold price into sustainable free cash flow. As of the latest market close, Northern Star shares finished at A$25.82 on 19 December 2025, down 3.37% on

PLS Group Limited (ASX:PLS) — the company many investors still instinctively call “Pilbara Minerals” — heads into the final stretch of 2025 with a refreshed leadership slate, a string of capital structure updates, and a lithium market narrative that’s swinging back toward “cyclical recovery” after a bruising downcycle.
