Fortescue lags as iron ore drop weighs on FMG shares

Fortescue Ltd shares started Thursday’s session in Australia weaker, after ending lower on Wednesday. This came while the broader market gained.

The stock touched A$20.84 intraday before retreating, with buyers stepping in early but failing to keep the price up.

Lloyds shares steady as UK inflation surprise puts focus on BoE

Lloyds Banking Group shares were little changed on Wednesday, pausing after a stronger session the day before, as investors weighed a softer-than-feared UK inflation print against the income outlook for Britain’s biggest domestic lenders.

Sigma Healthcare holds firm after Boots exit, ASX traders look to Chemist Warehouse

Sigma Healthcare opened in the ASX pre-open Wednesday holding onto most of the rally from its failed Boots deal. The Chemist Warehouse owner ended talks to buy the UK pharmacy chain, with investors now back to focusing on Sigma’s Australian growth plans. Timing is key here. Sigma shares slid last week after it said talks with Boots were at an early stage, following a Financial Times report that suggested the deal could value Boots at nearly $10 billion. Sigma pulling out has eased worries about management getting distracted by a big overseas deal while it’s still working through the Chemist Warehouse merger.

Goodman Group Trades Higher in Sydney After 15c Distribution News, Market Watches Data Centre Strategy

Goodman Group shares moved up a bit Tuesday after the company put out its June distribution timetable. The stock ticked higher, managing to shift while the rest of the Australian market barely budged. The ASX 200 closed up 0.04% as the Reserve Bank of Australia kept rates steady. Property stocks get pressured by higher rates since debt costs go up and future rental cashflows are worth less, so the RBA’s pause offered a break. Goodman said in its newest ASX update it will pay a A$0.15 distribution per security, fully unfranked and offering no franking credits. On an annualized basis, that's A$0.30—giving a yield of less than 1% at the current share price. The stock still trades as a growth
