Worley (ASX:WOR) starts week after losing A$700 million in value on new A$110 million FY26 hit

ASX cash trading is open after the weekend, back on regular Monday-to-Friday hours. Worley Limited heads into the new session with shares off 14.9% for the week.

With Intelligent Investor giving Worley a market value of A$5.306 billion, that’s a hit of around A$706 million in equity value. That loss is about 6.4 times the A$110 million EBITA drag forecast for

Aristocrat Leisure (ASX:ALL) buyback details in focus after Friday’s fall

ASX trading is closed Saturday, leaving Aristocrat Leisure Limited looking at more than just Friday’s 1.16% drop.

ASX cash equities weren’t trading at the dateline. The normal window for ASX cash market is 09:59:45 to 16:00 Sydney. So Friday’s close stands as Woodside’s latest local price. Woodside lagged the benchmark by nearly four percentage points for the week.

Haleon holds above buyback price even as JPMorgan cuts target

Haleon PLC was last trading above the price set in its latest buyback, raising questions late Friday about how much lift the £500 million repurchase will give shares after a fast climb earlier in the week.

BT Group (LON:BT.A) trades flat after pension cash update offsets Thames Water hit

BT Group plc was steady late Friday, edging up 0.05% to 191.95 pence as of 16:04 BST. The shares moved between 190.55p and 193.65p in the session. BT was just under the £1.95 price set in this week’s executive share buys. BT’s £300 million Thames Water hit isn’t the major takeaway for investors. With a £19.15 billion market cap on Google Finance, the write-off is just around 1.6% of the company’s equity value. BT shares remain about 21% under the 52-week peak of 242.09p. The real question is how much pension money remains tied up, rather than moving to shareholders as cash.
