4DMedical Shares Move Higher Pre-Market With Test Ahead for 4DX

4DMedical Shares Move Higher Pre-Market With Test Ahead for 4DX

4DMedical Ltd will look to hold its rebound when trading opens Monday in Australia. The lung-imaging company finished at A$4.17 on Friday, gaining 8.88%. Volume reached around 13.6 million shares. Friday’s close marked a two-day recovery, but the stock is still down from its April highs. Why now: The ASX cash market is in pre-open in Sydney, and trading is expected to open as usual just before 10 a.m. local. ASX hasn’t listed May 18 among its 2026 cash-market holidays, so 4DX will trade like any regular Monday.

QBE Stock Has a Monday-Morning Test After Last Week’s Jump

QBE Insurance Group shares head into Monday’s Sydney open near last week’s highs after the insurer closed Friday at A$23.04, its latest available ASX price, as traders marked the stock 1.86% higher on the day. The market had not yet opened in Sydney. The timing matters because QBE has put fresh capital and operating numbers in front of investors while the stock has already run. Its five-day gain of 3.32% came as Australia’s main ASX 200 index slipped 0.11% on Friday to 8,630.80.

Suncorp Shares Beat the ASX. The A$17.49 Line Is Monday’s Test

Suncorp Group Ltd heads into Monday’s ASX open with its shares at A$17.49 after a sharp late-week lift, leaving investors to test whether the insurer’s rebound can hold above a softer Australian market. The stock rose 2.16% on Friday and was up 5.05% over the week, from A$16.65 a week earlier. That matters now because there had been no Monday trading at the dateline time. ASX normal trading starts at 09:59:45 Sydney time and runs to 16:00, so Friday’s close remains the latest market price.

WiseTech Stock Faces Monday Test After 10% Slide as AI Pivot Faces Scrutiny

WiseTech Global Ltd. heads into Monday’s Australian session trying to steady a sharp selloff, after the logistics software maker’s shares ended last week about 10% below their previous Friday close despite a late rebound. The stock last traded at A$38.01 on Friday, up 3.65% on the day. That bounce followed three straight falls from Tuesday to Thursday and left WiseTech below its May 8 close of A$42.27.

Coles Shares Face a Fresh Test as ‘Down Down’ Ruling Puts Pricing in the Crosshairs

Coles Group Ltd enters the new trading week with its shares under pressure from a court loss over discount claims and fresh scrutiny of supermarket pricing, after the stock closed Friday at A$20.81. It has slipped 3.8% from the previous Friday’s close of A$21.63. The timing matters because the Federal Court ruling cuts at a core lever for supermarkets: promotions that pull shoppers through the door. Vantage Markets analyst Hebe Chen said the “court ruling is the clear trigger” for weakness, but investors are also pricing the risk that Coles’ “discounting playbook becomes less flexible.”

Woolworths Stock Faces Next Test Ahead of ASX Open

Woolworths Group Ltd goes into Monday’s ASX open after a mild lift on Friday, but investors are watching to see if supermarket discounting is turning into a legal and margin problem, rather than just a way to boost sales. The shares ended Friday at A$32.98, up 44 cents, or 1.35%, with 1.83 million shares changing hands. Weekly, the stock was still off about 1.8% from last Friday’s A$33.60 close, according to past closing prices.

South32 drops 5%, Alaska project lifts copper outlook but cost concerns remain

South32 Ltd closed out Friday at A$4.21, falling 5.18%. That’s still ahead of the previous week’s A$4.14 finish. As of early Monday, the stock was yet to begin normal trading on the Australian Securities Exchange, with the market set to open at 09:59:45 Sydney time. South32 is getting tugged two ways right now. The stock covers a mix of metals—alumina, aluminium, copper, manganese, zinc, silver, lead—so shifts in industrial metals, changes in project costs, or new permitting can all swing how the market values it.

Transurban Stock Is Quietly Defying the ASX Selloff — Monday Will Show If It Lasts

Transurban Group Ltd. heads into Monday’s ASX open as one of the steadier large-cap names in a bruised local market, after the toll-road operator closed Friday at A$14.60, about 1.2% higher for the week. The S&P/ASX 200, by contrast, ended Friday at 8,630.80, down about 1.3% from the prior Friday’s close. That spread matters now. The ASX was not yet in normal trading at publication time; normal share trading runs from 09:59:45 to 16:00 Sydney time, after pre-open orders and an opening auction that sets early prices.

Ampol approaches 52-week high as investors bet on refinery margins ahead of ASX open

Ampol Ltd is trading close to a one-year high as it starts the ASX week, with shares jumping on Friday.

Volume came in near 1.96 million shares. The stock closed around 2.5% higher for the week, putting it close to its 52-week high of A$36.04.

REA Group Ltd opens the new week in Australia with shares coming off an 8.4% drop for the week. The property portal had just posted better earnings and continued its share buyback. On Friday, the stock closed at A$162.01, up 0.48% for the day, after hitting A$176.89 the previous week. ASX cash trading stayed shut at the dateline. The pre-open will start at 0700 Sydney time and trading opens shortly before 1000, so the last traded price is Friday’s close.

Aristocrat Stock’s $1 Billion Buyback Bounce Faces Its Next Big Test

Aristocrat Leisure Limited heads into Monday’s Australian session with momentum after its half-year result and a bigger buyback helped the gaming technology group stand out in a weak market last week. The shares last closed at A$51.53, up 10.04% from A$46.83 a week earlier, market data sourced from Morningstar showed. That matters because the rebound came while the broader market went the other way. The S&P/ASX 200 ended Friday at 8,631, down 0.1% on the day and 1.3% for the week, according to Trading Economics.

Lynas Rare Earths heads into Monday’s ASX session under pressure after a sharp late-week selloff, even as fresh global deal activity keeps investors focused on non-China rare-earth supply. The ASX cash market was still closed at the dateline; normal trading in Sydney runs from 09:59:45 to 16:00. The stock closed at A$17.95 on Friday, unchanged on the day after touching A$17.77, with 4.20 million shares traded. Its heavier move came on Thursday, when it fell 9.8%, leaving the week’s loss well ahead of the broader market’s decline.

Santos Stock Gets a Fresh Tailwind as Gas Curbs Ease and Oil Stays Hot

Santos Ltd heads into Monday’s ASX session with a firmer tone after its shares jumped on Friday, outpacing a softer Australian market as gas-policy pressure eased and oil prices stayed elevated. The ASX cash market had not yet reopened at the dateline; normal trading runs from about 09:59:45 to 16:00 Sydney time. That matters now because Santos is trading on two live forces: higher energy prices, and whether Canberra tightens domestic gas rules. The stock finished Friday at A$7.88, up 2.74% on the day and about 4.8% above the previous Friday’s close, while the broader S&P/ASX 200 fell over the week.

Liontown Sinks 6%, Lithium Rally Faces Test Next Week

Liontown Limited faces Monday’s ASX open under pressure. Shares finished Friday at A$2.35, dropping 6% on the day and taking the week’s loss to 4.1% from last Friday’s close. At the dateline, the ASX cash market was still closed to pre-open. The exchange enters pre-open at 07:00 Sydney time with regular trading from 09:59:45 until 16:00. Liontown’s timing matters right now. The stock is one of Australia's most watched lithium plays, with prices rising and Kathleen Valley going further underground. But shares dropped Friday as investors chose to cash in profits before the new week.

On Friday, the stock moved in a range between A$71.65 and A$72.42. Volume was 1.25 million shares, according to LSEG data on the company’s investor site. S&P/ASX 200 slipped 1.3% for the week, closing at 8,630.80 on Friday. Traders saw pressure from global shares and rising bond yields as higher oil and freight costs fueled concern about stubborn inflation. The tape isn't giving much slack now.

ASX Preview: RBA Minutes and Oil Move in Focus for Banks, Miners

ASX 200 faces fresh rate nerves after falling 1.3% last week. Investors are fixing on the Reserve Bank of Australia’s policy minutes out Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. AEST. Inflation is outpacing wage growth again. The consumer price index jumped 4.6% in the year to March, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, while wages increased 3.3% over the same period. That leaves parts of the market that are exposed to interest rates with less room for disappointment.

FTSE 100 stumbles, UK stocks start week on back foot after Friday rout The FTSE 100 logged its steepest drop in more than eight weeks on Friday as bond prices fell, the pound weakened, and investors grew jittery about UK politics possibly leading to looser fiscal policy.

Mineral Resources Shares Face a Monday Test After Chris Ellison’s $122 Million Stock Sale

Mineral Resources heads into Monday’s ASX open with the founder’s share sale, not iron ore or lithium volumes, setting the early tone. The stock last closed at A$64.77 on Friday, down 7.68%, after hitting A$71.79 earlier in the week and trading as low as A$63.97 in the session. That matters now because the sale landed after a sharp recovery in MinRes shares and just before a new trading week. Investors have to decide whether Chris Ellison’s move is routine wealth planning, or a warning sign after the stock’s run.
