British American Tobacco up 9.5% as buyback window opens ahead of July results

British American Tobacco p.l.c. faces a new question next week. The company heads in with its closed-period buyback still running, but group guidance hasn’t changed. Shares have climbed, but now investors are watching to see if the buyback alone can push the share count lower. The Lucky Strike and Dunhill maker finished Friday at 4,751p, up 1.13% for the session. Shares climbed every day last week, starting at 4,337p last Friday and gaining 9.5% total. The FTSE 100 dropped 0.21% on Friday, AJ Bell data showed.

Rolls-Royce (LON:RR) stalls around recent highs, data-centre ties in view

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc gave up ground on Friday, losing 1.8% to close at 1,406.20p. Shares hit a new 52-week high of 1,532.60p Thursday before reversing. The move left investors questioning how much near-term cash growth is already baked in. The FTSE 100 slipped 0.21% to 10,508.02. Shares kept their uptrend after the recent pullback. A London Stock Exchange/FTSE Russell tear sheet out June 26 shows the stock up 11.7% over the 50-day average and 16.7% above the 200-day, with RSI at 63.32. That’s still under the 70 threshold often flagged for overbought, but after a 22.3% gain this year there’s less margin if sentiment turns.

Trump digital tax warning clouds $263 billion in goods

Trump’s warning of 100% tariffs on countries with digital taxes brings a $262.8 billion annual goods-import flow from six targeted nations into play. The U.S. digital-tax review already has those countries on its list, and the trade talks now have a much larger number on the table than just the digital-tax bills faced by U.S. tech firms. France, Austria, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the UK exported $262.8 billion in goods to the U.S. in 2025 and $85.9 billion for the first four months of 2026, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. The White House told the U.S. Trade Representative in 2025 to look at renewing Section 301 probes into digital services taxes in the same countries.

Lynas Rare Earths Limited closed the week ahead of the ASX after a turbulent stretch, but market action suggests buyers aren’t ignoring risk.

WiseTech Global Ltd. heads into the weekend trading session on the ASX with short interest around A$900 million, a figure that puts a number on the governance-triggered selloff that’s driven the logistics software stock down 74% from its 52-week high. The Australian Securities Exchange trades on Sydney time from 9:59 a.m. to 4 p.m. AEST, Monday through Friday. Shares ended Friday at A$31.55, gaining 16 cents.

Macquarie Group Limited (ASX:MQG) stock pinned below record as filings crowd thin week

Macquarie heads into the new week in a tight place: close enough to its record that sellers have room to test it, but with Friday’s tape too light to call conviction. The stock fell 0.25% to A$249.36 on 673,480 shares, below the 853,560 average shown by Google Finance. The day’s range was A$247.80 to A$250.59. The better read is the week. Macquarie slipped 0.18% from the prior Friday close of A$249.82, while the ASX 200 lost 0.73%. That gap matters because Macquarie had already run 23.15% this year and was still less than 2% off its 52-week high.

GSK (LON:GSK) ends £2 billion buyback, Nuvalent tender starts

GSK plc traded lower in London on Friday. The day marked the final scheduled round of its £2 billion share buyback, but the $10.6 billion Nuvalent tender offer has become a bigger weight than the daily support from the buyback. The London Stock Exchange was open at the dateline time; its June 26 session runs from 0800 to 1630 BST. GSK traded at 1,951.50p on the sell side and 1,952.00p to buy, down 32p, or 1.61%, according to AJ Bell. The stock’s market cap was about £78.21 billion.

SEGRO shares: Prologis offer gap narrows with lower all-share price

SEGRO plc gave up little of its takeover-driven rally on Friday. Shares traded at 878.3p on Cboe Europe at 0801 EDT, down 0.2%. The live bid spread now matters more than the offer headline. London’s FTSE 100 slipped 0.7% by 0907 GMT. Prologis Inc gave a 925p number that's out of date. That figure came from Prologis’ June 23 close at $145.30 and a GBP/USD rate of 1.32. With Prologis now at $140.53 and sterling at $1.3219, the same 0.084-share exchange ratio turns into roughly 893p. The spread is now about 14.7p, not the 46.7p gap used in the headline offer.
