Pikka progress in focus for Santos after oil drops this week

Santos Limited is set for the week with its Alaska plans looking clearer, but oil prices are softer. Shares closed at A$7.14 Friday, up 1.42% on the day. Over five days, the stock dropped 2.59%. Year-to-date, STO has gained 15.72%, according to MarketScreener data. The Australian market was shut for the weekend. Santos isn’t focused on Friday’s bounce. The problem is the gap between Pikka’s current output and what Santos has to see by the third quarter.

Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) rebound trails gold as volume fades into weekend

Northern Star Resources Ltd got the kind of Friday bounce a gold stock should get when bullion turns higher. The gap was in the tape. The stock rose A$0.67 to A$20.59, but only 3.82 million shares changed hands, against a 65-day average of 7.13 million. That is about 54% of normal volume, thin for a 3.36% gain in a stock still being pressed by operational and activist questions. The week was still negative. Northern Star closed at A$20.87 the previous Friday, rose to A$21.20 on Monday, then gave most of it back before the late-week rebound. Using Friday’s A$20.59 finish, the stock lost 1.3% over the five sessions. The S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.73% for the week to 8,764.20, according to

Goodman’s 0.47% payout puts ASX attention on data-centre deals

ASX cash-market trading goes from 09:59:45 to 16:00 Sydney time. Goodman Group finished Friday at A$32.01, losing 18 cents on the day, but the stock still held gains for the week heading into the weekend. Goodman rose 1.6% this week, while the S&P/ASX 200 Index slipped 0.7%. That leaves a 2.3-point gap, showing Goodman isn’t moving in line with the usual property yield names and acts more like an execution bet on data-centre sites with strong power access.

BHP Group (ASX:BHP) falls 11% from recent high; Craig shifts Americas role

BHP Group Ltd finished the week in positive territory but the gain wasn’t enough to reverse losses from its potash cost reset. Shares moved up 0.8% to end at A$58.99 on Friday. The S&P/ASX 200 added 0.18% to finish at 8,764.20. BHP is down 10.6% from its 52-week high of A$65.98. The dollar numbers are clearer.

SSE drops after Ofgem clears Coire Glas storage plan

SSE PLC traded down 1.03% at 2,394 pence as of 14:04 BST Friday after the stock had jumped 3.02% to £24.19 on Thursday.

Coire Glas, in north Scotland, is listed at 1,440 MW and 32 hours duration. That’s second in capacity to Earba, but Coire Glas tops the list for stored energy based on Ofgem’s numbers.

Qantas Airways Limited finished Thursday up A$0.42 at A$10.71. The stock touched A$10.80 during the session. Qantas ended with a market cap near A$16.2 billion. L1's filing shifts the read on the move. One disclosed seller slipped under the 5% mark before shares gained 4%. That doesn’t show L1 kept a lid on the price. The document just confirms L1 dropped out of substantial holder status, not that it exited the stock.
