Northern Star Heads Into Long Weekend With Elliott’s $1 Billion Move in Play

Northern Star Resources Ltd goes into Australia’s extended holiday trading pause with its shares showing some recovery but still down, as Elliott Investment Management’s involvement shifted last week’s sharp drop into a contest for influence. Shares ended Friday at A$19.88, losing 2.5% for the session but gaining 5.69% in the past week. Market value was A$28.37 billion. The stock remains about 37% under its 12-month peak on March 2, market data showed.

Delta’s New SkyMiles Card Perk Targets $110 Second-Bag Charge

Delta Air Lines and American Express added a free second checked bag for holders of Delta’s Gold, Platinum and Reserve SkyMiles cards, giving cardholders a break on baggage fees while annual card fees stay the same. Delta said the new perk covers eligible consumer and business SkyMiles cards on Delta-operated domestic flights. Bag fees are now a bigger slice of U.S. airfare. Delta bumped up most checked-bag prices in April, charging $45 for a first bag and $55 for a second on domestic and some short international flights. United Airlines and JetBlue also raised their fees during the same stretch.

CSL Shares Up 5.75%, What Comes Next May Be Tougher

CSL Limited moves into the holiday week with Friday’s rally still fresh. Shares finished at A$97.91, up 5.75%, as investors picked up beaten-down health care stocks ahead of the break. CSL’s rally is in focus now after May’s sharp downgrade, which had investors debating whether CSL’s earnings issues are passing or of its own making. The ASX cash market is shut Monday for King’s Birthday, leaving Friday’s close as the last tradeable price.

Megaport shares jump on AI move, retail traders weigh in

Megaport Ltd is going into this holiday-shortened week as one of the hotter AI infrastructure plays on the ASX after shares jumped Friday. That move came on the back of a A$827.3 million equity raise and news of four fresh AI infrastructure contracts. Australian stocks are closed Monday for the King’s Birthday, so investors have more time to chew over whether Friday’s jump in Megaport was a clear sign of support for its AI compute move or just a quick trade on limited AI exposure.

New Catalyst for Macquarie Stock in Metals, but ASX Investors on Hold

Macquarie Group shares are off the board Monday as the ASX closes for the King’s Birthday holiday. That pushes the first shot at Reuters’ story about Cargill talking with Macquarie to sell its metals unit to Tuesday, when the Sydney financial firm trades again. Talks pick up after a weak week for both Macquarie shares and the wider Australian market. MQG finished Friday at A$236.42, slipping A$0.04 for the day and off about 0.9% from where it closed the previous Friday at A$238.55.

ANZ Ends Holiday Session Down 3% With Mortgage Rate Move in Focus

ANZ Group Holdings shares ended Friday at A$34.12, down 3.07% for the week. The bank made a mortgage pricing move late in the week, raising new questions about margins for investors going into the holiday-shortened stretch. Timing is a factor. Australia’s main stock market is closed Monday for the King’s Birthday public holiday. That puts the next move for bank shares off until Tuesday, after they ended last week on the back foot.

Wesfarmers This Week: Eyes on Bunnings Test for WES Stock

Wesfarmers starts the holiday-shortened week with shares down 1.1% on the week. Investors are waiting for a strategy briefing on Wednesday and watching for new moves to add more industrial sales at Bunnings, after the ASX was closed on Monday. ASX stays closed Monday for the King’s Birthday holiday, with no trading or settlement on the cash market. That means Wesfarmers’ last close came Friday; investors won’t get a shot at reacting to offshore market jitters until Tuesday’s open.

PLS Stock Drops Ahead of ASX Open With Lithium Plant Tests Underway

PLS Group shares slid going into the ASX holiday stretch, despite the company's new processing plant in Western Australia. The lithium miner’s stock finished Friday at A$5.91, off 3.75% on the day, and down 8.51% for the week. Timing is key here. ASX cash equities won’t trade Monday for the King’s Birthday holiday, with regular hours from 09:59:45 to 16:00 Sydney time on other days. That means Tuesday is the next full shot for investors to trade on the plant news and price in the selloff.

Westpac Shares Flat Ahead of Consumer Update

Westpac Banking Corp last traded at A$34.81, down 42.9 cents or 1.22% on Friday. The stock won’t see action again until Tuesday with the Australian Securities Exchange closed Monday for the King’s Birthday holiday. That’s important with the bank set to host an investor event two sessions after. Westpac plans a consumer banking update Thursday at 10 a.m., led by Carolyn McCann, chief executive for consumer. Mortgages, deposits and service costs are likely to come up again after the big banks’ weak end last week.

NAB Shares Trade Close to Year Lows After Holiday Pause

National Australia Bank heads into the long weekend with shares closing Friday close to a 52-week low. Investors moved out of big banks ahead of the ASX holiday on Monday, keeping pressure on the stock.

The 52-week range is A$36.03 to A$49.45, according to Google Finance data. Commonwealth Bank, ANZ and Westpac shares were also lower, offering little support for the group.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia heads into a three-day break at A$160.90, down 2.5% for the week. The ASX is shut Monday for the King’s Birthday holiday, so CBA doesn’t trade again until Tuesday. Timing is key. CBA is the top name in Australian banking and gives a clear view into mortgages, household cash flows, and interest rate moves. Investors are lowering their view on lenders tied to slower credit growth.

Admiral Shares Set for Monday Focus After Dividend, Flock News

Admiral Group’s shares in London edged up on Friday, closing at 3,294p, a gain of 0.98% for the day. For the week, the shares barely moved, ending just 2p under the previous Friday’s finish. A dividend and a minor deal kept the motor insurer in focus. Data from Investing.com show the weekly change was minimal. The London Stock Exchange is closed for the weekend, so traders won’t get another chance to price the stock until Monday, June 8. The exchange runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. London time, Monday through Friday. For now, this is a weekend wrap, not a move happening in real-time.

Pearson PLC shares climbed 1.4% in London on Friday, closing at 1,162p/1,163p, according to AJ Bell data. The education group’s stock hit 1,175p during the day, matching its one-year high, with volume at roughly 3.06 million shares. Pearson outperformed the broader market on a slow Friday. The FTSE 100 edged up 0.07% to 10,368.05, but Reuters said the index still closed the week down as market caution lingered.

Imperial Brands Shares Jumped Friday — Why Monday’s Open Matters Now

Imperial Brands ended the week with a sharp Friday rebound, rising 2.79% to close at 2,761p and beating a barely higher FTSE 100 before London trading shut for the weekend. The London Stock Exchange’s standard equity session runs from 08:00 to 16:30 on weekdays, leaving investors to wait until Monday for the next price test. That matters because the move came after a rough spell for the tobacco group. Even after Friday’s gain, the stock remained well below its 52-week high of about 3,632p, while recent market data showed a 52-week low of 2,626p earlier in the week.

Rentokil Wraps Up Hard Week With Investors Watching U.S. Turnaround

Rentokil Initial plc shares finished Friday mostly flat, but the stock still ended lower for the week. The focus for investors remains on the company's U.S. recovery, not Friday’s lack of a move. Rentokil Initial shares ended at 442.40 pence on June 5 in London, with around 7.8 million shares changing hands, according to London Stock Exchange data. The stock edged up 0.07% on Friday after earlier losses, including a 2.01% slide on Monday, historical data showed.

Rightmove drops from FTSE 100, dragging battered shares back into focus

Rightmove is set to lose its FTSE 100 spot this month, as the UK’s largest listed property portal struggles with a slide in housing sentiment, concerns over AI investment, and a smaller market cap. It’s a symbolic setback for the company. FTSE 100 is London’s main index for the biggest listed companies. Index funds that track that benchmark will need to make changes when Rightmove shifts out of the FTSE 100 and into the FTSE 250, the mid-cap index.

Intertek Stock Trades Close to £60 With Takeover Deadline Approaching

Intertek Group plc shares closed the week in positive territory, though they remain far from EQT’s £60-a-share possible bid level. The focus for investors now is on whether the Swedish buyout group will come back with a formal offer next week. London trading was closed Saturday. The London Stock Exchange is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. BST. That puts Intertek’s latest trading price at Friday’s close.

Burberry Stock Just Had a Bruising Week. The Turnaround Test Comes Next

Burberry Group plc heads into the weekend under pressure after a rough week for its London-listed shares, leaving investors to test how much patience remains for Chief Executive Joshua Schulman’s turnaround plan. The shares were marked at 1,106p after Friday trading, down 0.54%, while Hargreaves Lansdown showed the market closed and volume near 4.0 million shares. That capped a week in which the stock fell more than 6%, a sharp move for a FTSE 100 luxury name already being judged on execution rather than promise.

Reckitt Shares Recover Even as Uncertainty Lingers

Reckitt Benckiser Group shares finished higher on Friday, up 1.88% at £45.49, while the FTSE 100 rose 0.07%. Despite the late-week gain, Reckitt Benckiser still closed down about 0.9% from last week's £45.91 finish, leaving the week in the red. That’s in play because London is closed for the weekend, leaving investors with two days to think about a small rebound versus bigger troubles. Reckitt remains down over 30% from its January 52-week high, with the market still reacting to weak first-quarter sales and risk to margins from costs.
