Northern Star buyback loses ground after gold miner drops below repurchase price
Northern Star Resources Ltd heads into Tuesday’s ASX trade looking soft, despite touting a A$500 million buyback. The shares are now under the average price the company paid to buy back stock so far, and it could bump into its share cap before the money runs out. Northern Star traded at A$20.12 at Monday’s close, off A$0.47, or 2.28%. Yahoo Finance showed 4.12 million shares changed hands. This comes ahead of normal ASX cash trading, which ASX says starts about 09:59:45 and runs to 16:00 Sydney time.
