Vodafone (LSE:VOD) drops for sixth day, closes in on 20% slide from past year’s high

Vodafone sheds £5.7 billion from May high as VodafoneThree debt pressure grows

Vodafone shares traded down 0.14% at 106.25 pence by late morning in London on Wednesday. The stock is about 19% off its May 21 high of 131.10 pence. Based on 23.03 billion shares now outstanding, the decline has erased around £5.7 billion in market value—about £1.4 billion more than CK Hutchison’s £4.3 billion VodafoneThree stake. That doesn’t mean the deal drove the entire slide. It shows how much extra discount investors have priced in since the high. The stock is still 38.7% higher over the past year, far outpacing the UK blue-chip index’s 19.6%. But consensus numbers as of June 23 show a median 12-month target at 112.06 pence, just about 5% over the latest price. Analyst targets range from

Defence pullback wipes £1bn off BAE Systems despite radar update

BAE Systems shares dropped 1.9% to 1,789.5 pence by 0947 BST Wednesday, falling behind the FTSE 100, which was flat in early moves. The slide knocked around £1 billion off its £52.53 billion market cap and more than wiped out Tuesday’s 0.77% rise. BAE is now trading about 24% under its 52-week high. Europe’s defence stocks took a hit. The aerospace and defence index dropped 1.3%. Rheinmetall slid 13.9% after a report that Germany could drop a big frigate project. Shares in TKMS jumped 9.2% as it was reportedly favored to build smaller vessels. “You’ve got a very unstable environment and ongoing wars. That should feed into positive sentiment towards the defence sector, but it’s not happening,” Morningstar strategist Michael

Northern Star Resources Buyback Could Leave A$35 Million Unused at Current Share Price

Northern Star Resources’ A$500 million share buyback would reach its stated share-count ceiling before the headline cash amount if the stock remains near Tuesday’s close, a calculation based on the gold miner’s latest filing shows. The shares finished at A$20.62, down 2.7%, valuing Northern Star at about A$29.4 billion. The ASX cash market was closed ahead of its normal 10 a.m. Sydney opening. Under the current notice, Northern Star had acquired 6,169,044 shares for A$125.78 million through June 19, leaving room for another 16,455,390 shares. Spending the remaining A$374.22 million within that limit would require an average purchase price of A$22.74 — 10.3% above Tuesday’s close. At a constant A$20.62, the remaining shares would cost about A$339.3 million, leaving roughly

National Australia Bank shares added 1.21% to A$38.33 on Tuesday. That’s while the S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.33% to 8,787, weighed down by declines in tech and mining stocks. Gains were spread across the big banks, with ANZ up 1.39%, Westpac adding 1.03%, and Commonwealth Bank rising 0.49%. The action wasn’t limited to NAB, suggesting the move was part of a sector-wide bank trade instead of a shift in outlook for just one name.

BHP shares to watch Wednesday as port strike threat drops, Jansen impact stays

BHP Group shares are back in focus as Sydney markets open Wednesday. Unions have paused plans for a strike at Port Hedland, which cuts the chance of a near-term threat to BHP’s iron ore shipments. On Tuesday, BHP put forward a draft enterprise agreement, but unions said the gap between the parties remains wide. The stock ended Tuesday down 42 cents at A$59.92, a drop of 0.7%. The S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.33% to 8,787 as tech names retreated and miners slid with lower commodities. The ASX cash market was shut at the time of publication, so traders will see the full reaction to the labour reprieve at Wednesday’s open.

Halma flagged that photonics, its light-driven tech division for data-centre customers, would add less than before.

New Nationwide 2038 Bond Starts Trading; NBS Steady at £129 After Payout

Nationwide Building Society’s specialist listed capital shares stayed at £129 in late morning on Tuesday after a cash payout. The lender also admitted NOK 1 billion of 4.935% senior preferred notes due June 2038 to the London Stock Exchange’s main market. These notes came through Nationwide’s $35 billion European Note Programme. The difference is key. Ordinary Nationwide equity isn’t available to buy—members own the building society, not shareholders. That means the NBS quote doesn’t give a typical valuation for the business as a whole.

Liontown Takes Hit on CATL Concerns, Lithium Rally Shaken

Liontown Limited stock is down as trading picks up again Tuesday. Shares finished Monday off 4.0% at A$1.90. The selloff hit most Australian lithium producers.
