Why Suncorp Group Limited Stock Price Is Back in Focus as Buyback Builds

Why Suncorp Group Limited Stock Price Is Back in Focus as Buyback Builds

Eyes will be on Suncorp Group as the ASX session kicks off Monday, with the insurer’s buyback tally now sitting at roughly A$250.3 million, according to its latest filing. Shares closed out Friday at A$15.81, a 0.7% lift, even as the S&P/ASX 200 slid 0.82%. Suncorp snapped up 436,570 shares on March 19, according to a March 20 filing, spending A$6.83 million in the process. That brings total buybacks since September to 13,982,564 shares—about 63% of the company’s A$400 million fiscal 2026 goal.

PLS Group Stock Price Today: Why ASX Lithium Bellwether PLS Heads Into Monday on Shaky Ground

PLS Group Limited comes into Monday’s Sydney trade priced at A$4.23, according to the latest data. The lithium miner has dropped roughly 13.5% across the past five sessions, despite notching a 2.42% gain at its last close. This stock’s relevant thanks to PLS’s position in several major lithium assets. According to Reuters, it holds the Pilgangoora operation out in Western Australia, Brazil’s Colina project, and it’s got a battery-grade lithium hydroxide JV partnered with POSCO over in South Korea.

Sigma Healthcare Share Price Jumps 4.5% After Jefferies Upgrade Revives Chemist Warehouse Focus

Sigma Healthcare jumped 4.5% to A$2.78 on March 20, landing the Chemist Warehouse owner near the top of the blue-chip board. Jefferies bumped its rating to buy from hold, tagging a A$3.05 target price. This one stood out—trading volume surged to 103 million shares, a sharp leap from the 10.9 million to 19.5 million range seen over the previous four sessions. Even with Friday’s bounce, the stock remained roughly 5.4% lower for the year.

Macquarie Group Stock Price Falls to A$194.99 as Rates, Gulf Deal Risks Weigh

Macquarie Group Stock Price Falls to A$194.99 as Rates, Gulf Deal Risks Weigh

Macquarie Group faces Monday’s Sydney open after finishing Friday at A$194.99, slipping 0.56%. Shares now sit roughly 12% under the A$221.32 peak notched in February following its trading update. Why does it matter? Macquarie covers a lot of ground: retail banking, asset management, commodities, and advisory. When borrowing costs climb in Australia and global risk appetite weakens, those headwinds can squeeze multiple profit streams simultaneously. Eyes are now on May 8, the date set for the group’s full-year results.

Greatland Resources Stock Price Faces Monday Test as ASX 100 Entry Meets Gold Slide

Greatland Resources lands a spot in the S&P/ASX 100 as the Australian market opens Monday, turning the spotlight back on the gold-and-copper miner after shares slipped on Friday. S&P Dow Jones Indices confirmed the reshuffle will be in place before trading kicks off March 23. Greatland’s ASX shares last closed at A$10.11, while its London listing wrapped up the day at 507 pence. The timing isn’t ideal for Greatland: the stock is joining a top-tier Australian benchmark just as gold prices slide and investors hold out for the March-quarter Telfer mineral resource update. So, Greatland sits wedged between potential index-driven buying and a weaker gold market.

SYDNEY, March 23, 2026, 05:04 UTC+11 ANZ Group Holdings closed Friday at A$36.60, down 1.13%, after about A$407.4 million in shares changed hands—still putting the lender near the top of the ASX’s most-traded list by value. Pressure wasn’t limited to ANZ: National Australia Bank dropped 2.25%, Westpac Banking Corp slid 1.05%, and Commonwealth Bank of Australia lost 0.97%.

Santos Share Price in Focus After Australia Flags Windfall Gas Tax as Oil Jumps

Santos drew attention heading into the new week, finishing down 0.5% at A$7.98 on Friday, March 20. Investors are digesting news that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has reportedly instructed Treasury to look at a tax targeting windfall gas profits, right as energy prices are on the move again. The timing is key here. Santos is plugged into Australia’s LNG export network, so any attempt to grab a bigger slice of the action would hit just as export values are surging—thanks to the Middle East conflict and the Strait of Hormuz shutdown. LNG exports out of Australia pulled in A$65 billion last year, according to Reuters. Since the U.S. and Israel struck Iran in February, Asia spot LNG prices have shot

Crypto Casino ZunaBet Takes Aim at bet365, Cloudbet as Online Gambling Splits in Two

Over the last few days, ZunaBet—a fresh face in the crypto casino space—has been promoted as a rival to legacy betting names. Blockonomi and CoinCentral rolled out direct matchups with bet365, following TheBodyLockMMA’s earlier head-to-head comparisons with Cloudbet and mBit. All this coverage highlights a growing split in the market: banking-backed giants sticking with cards on one side, crypto-only operators betting on speedier payouts and heavier rewards on the other. The timing is notable. On Feb. 26, Tim Miller, executive director for research and policy at the Gambling Commission, said the regulator wants to look at “the potential path forward” for using cryptoassets in licensed UK gambling—though he stressed safeguards must come first. At the same time, the Commission flagged

Northern Star Resources Share Price Extends Slide as Output Warning and Gold Drop Bite

Northern Star Resources finished Friday’s session at A$18.50, slipping 2.43%. Another production warning from the Australian gold miner fueled the selling, while a further slide in gold prices added to the drag. Spot gold tumbled 1.8% to $4,563.64 an ounce Friday. Northern Star is pushing to keep the old mill at Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines, or KCGM, running through fiscal 2026, with a larger facility set to come online in early fiscal 2027. That stretch leaves the shares vulnerable—operational hiccups or a fresh gold swing could easily rattle the stock.

UK Stock Market Week Ahead: FTSE 100 Faces Oil Shock as BoE Rate Bets Jump

London shares start the week on the back foot. The FTSE 100 slid to 9,918.33 Friday, off 1.4%, with the FTSE 250 losing 1.0% to finish at 21,341.97—marking three weeks of declines in a row. Brent crude wrapped up at $112.19 a barrel, highest since July 2022. Analysts expect oil prices to keep climbing as trading resumes Monday. UK stocks are feeling the squeeze now as both inflation and interest rates bite. The Bank of England left rates at 3.75% on Thursday, warning that inflation might hit 3.5% in the next two quarters. Governor Andrew Bailey warned against jumping to conclusions about more rate hikes. On the other hand, Rob Wood at Pantheon Macroeconomics flagged that energy futures are getting

Australia Stock Market Week Ahead: ASX 200 Braces for CPI Test as Oil Shock Deepens

Australian stocks are starting the week looking uncertain. The S&P/ASX 200 finished Friday at 8,428.4. Brent crude, meanwhile, wrapped up at $112.19 a barrel—marking its strongest close since July 2022. Wednesday brings February’s consumer price index, Australia’s key inflation number, set for release at 11:30 a.m. AEDT. The data arrives just after the Reserve Bank of Australia’s narrow 5-4 decision to lift the cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.1%. “The domestic data flow alone justified a rate hike today,” said Commonwealth Bank economist Belinda Allen.

Why CSL Limited Stock Price Rose Even as the ASX Fell

CSL Limited climbed 2.9% to end the day at A$138.50, standing out among large caps as the ASX 200 slipped 0.82%. Healthcare names held up, with Sigma Healthcare and Telix Pharmaceuticals joining CSL in the green. CSL’s still working to calm investor nerves after the earnings shock and top-level exits hit in February. The company disclosed in a March 20 filing that it snapped up 111,215 shares the day prior, shelling out A$14.99 million and stretching its on-market buyback, which could reach as much as US$750 million.

Woodside Energy Stock Price in Focus as Oil Hits Highest Since 2022 and Australia Eyes Gas Tax

Woodside Energy Group is likely to draw attention in Monday's Australian session, with Brent crude having ended Friday at levels last seen in July 2022. Reports say Canberra is looking into a possible tax targeting gas windfall profits. Shares of Woodside last settled at A$34.04, up 1.0% on the day and showing a 9.7% gain over the past five sessions. Why does it matter? Woodside finds itself at the intersection of surging oil and LNG prices and growing calls from lawmakers to extract more from exporters before Australia’s May budget. Asia spot LNG has jumped—Reuters notes prices have doubled to three-year highs since the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran kicked off. Last year, Australia exported A$65 billion worth of LNG. On

BHP Stock Price Falls as CEO Bounce Fades, China Iron Ore Risks Linger

BHP Group Ltd's U.S. shares closed out Friday at $65.29, falling 3.09% and erasing the 0.9% uptick logged after the miner tapped Brandon Craig as chief executive earlier this week. With the bounce gone, the stock finds itself under renewed pressure as investors weigh the impact of the leadership shift. The timing is no accident. BHP’s earnings are now driven less by iron ore, with copper making up 51% of operating profit in February—a first. That shift powered a 22% jump in half-year underlying profit, which hit $6.2 billion after excluding one-offs.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia Stock Price: CBA Shares Enter a Key Week After RBA Hike and Oil Shock

Commonwealth Bank of Australia shares slipped 0.97% to A$175.64 by Friday’s close, with the lender underperforming into Monday’s session. Investors have another stretch of rate and inflation surprises to contend with, but CBA fared better than NAB, Westpac and ANZ on the day. This is significant: CBA holds its spot as Australia’s biggest lender, and Friday’s A$943.4 million turnover underscored just how closely the market keeps tabs on it. The Reserve Bank’s latest rate hike, paired with renewed oil jitters over the weekend, has thrown investors back into the mix—debating if higher rates will boost bank margins more than they squeeze borrowers and strain households.

SSE fell 3.02% to finish at 2,573 pence on Friday, caught up in a wider London selloff. The utility’s Ferrybridge battery site is now fully operational, it said, and 5.0 million new shares have been admitted for trading. SSE’s tumble stands out, coming so soon after the stock marked a 52-week high on March 17. On Friday, the shares fell hard, volume running above normal, just as British energy names came under pressure. Higher oil prices and traders’ revived expectations for Bank of England rate hikes shook the market.

Diageo Stock Price Ends Near 52-Week Low as Investors Wait for Turnaround Proof

Diageo wrapped up Friday’s session at 1,400 pence, just above the day’s 1,381 pence low in London—leaving shares parked close to the lowest point in their 52-week stretch. That’s in focus now, with the market still working through Diageo’s February shake-up. The company lowered its outlook for fiscal 2026 organic sales—cutting the target to a 2%-3% drop, excluding impacts like currency, deals, and disposals. The interim dividend was slashed by half, down to 20 cents. Net debt? $21.7 billion. Chief Executive Dave Lewis, for his part, said a more detailed strategy will hit the board in the second quarter, with public details expected in the third.
