Cochlear (ASX:COH) shares trade at 25x slashed FY26 outlook after busy day

Cochlear Limited finished the ASX week nearly flat, but the numbers tell a choppier story. Shares slipped 0.1% over the week to A$118.03, barely changed from last Friday’s close at A$118.14. The stock dropped 4.38% on Monday and rebounded 4.5% by Friday’s finish. The S&P/ASX 200 dropped 0.7% from last Friday to this Friday, moving from 8,828.70 to 8,764.20. Cochlear managed to do a little better than the index this week, but it wasn’t by much. The stock is still working its way back after the profit warning in April.

Mineral Resources falls sharply, stock drop far outpaces Lucky Bay writedown as ASX pause hits

ASX cash equities hadn’t opened at press time, so Mineral Resources Limited remains at Friday’s close. Shares last finished at A$63.14, off A$1.00 for the session. Market cap sits near A$12.48 billion. MinRes is taking a roughly A$40 million non-cash writedown on Lucky Bay, but shares have dropped a lot more. After the company posted the update at 8:13 a.m. Thursday, the stock slid from A$65.86 to A$63.14. The market value lost is about A$540 million, according to Google Finance’s share count.

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

QBE Insurance (ASX:QBE) moves past broker targets ahead of H1 close

QBE Insurance Group Limited heads into the end of its first half with shares trading higher than the average analyst target. Sydney markets were closed Saturday, so Friday’s minor change isn’t what holders care about—it’s the week’s shift in valuation. QBE Insurance shares ended Friday at A$24.84, higher than last week's A$24.06 close. The stock is now up 26.1% for 2026 and is trading just below Thursday’s A$25.08 high, Morningstar data shows.

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.

Xero Limited is trading close to the bottom of its one-year range after a rough week. The stock has dropped by nearly 40% this year.

Fortescue (ASX:FMG) to watch China cargo flow Monday after losing A$2.8 billion this week

ASX is closed on Saturdays, so the most recent Fortescue Ltd quote is from Friday at 4:10 p.m. Sydney time. That’s the last print until next week. Fortescue’s shares gained 13 cents to A$19.07 on Friday. Trading volume finished at 4.81 million, short of the 6.46 million average. That left the week’s losses mostly in place. Fortescue has 3.08 billion shares out, so every A$1 move in the share price changes market value by about A$3.08 billion.

Atlas Arteria (ALX) finishes under IFM bid as bidder set to take control

ASX trading is closed for the weekend. Atlas Arteria finished Friday trading looking less like a toll road play and more like a short-term cash bet on IFM Global Infrastructure Fund’s offer. Atlas closed at A$5.08, under the A$5.10 cash offer, leaving a 0.4% spread. The shares traded in a tight A$5.08 to A$5.10 range. Despite the small gap, Atlas dropped as the main index gained.

PLS Group shares sink, losing around A$1.1 billion as lithium prices tumble

PLS Group Limited posted one of the clearer split moves among lithium names on the ASX into the weekend: a minor employee-share print, but the bigger hit came from the commodity side. The stock dropped 34 cents to close at A$5.04 on Friday, after touching a low of A$5.00, according to Google Finance data. PLS has lodged an application to quote 618,302 ordinary fully paid shares that were issued on June 17 under its employee incentive scheme. The shares had nil cash consideration. After this quotation, PLS has 3,221,617,827 ordinary shares on issue, according to the Appendix 2A released to the ASX.

Aristocrat Leisure (ASX:ALL) buyback details in focus after Friday’s fall

ASX trading is closed Saturday, leaving Aristocrat Leisure Limited looking at more than just Friday’s 1.16% drop. The bigger question is how much stock the gaming group can still buy back on-market given how fast its share price has moved up. ASX trades from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sydney time on business days. Aristocrat’s stock ended Friday at A$58.69, trading between A$59.31 and A$57.725 during the session. The S&P/ASX 200 finished at 8,764.20, flat. Aristocrat logged a strong weekly gain.

Woodside Energy Group (ASX:WDS) drops over the week; new 231 petajoule domestic gas plan announced

ASX cash equities weren’t trading at the dateline. The normal window for ASX cash market is 09:59:45 to 16:00 Sydney. So Friday’s close stands as Woodside’s latest local price. Woodside lagged the benchmark by nearly four percentage points for the week. With TradingView showing a A$52 billion market cap, the drop from last Friday’s close wiped about A$2.6 billion off the company’s equity, based on the most recent share price for the share count.

Telstra Group Limited closes week up as buyback terms set stage for next ASX move

Telstra Group Limited starts the week just above the average price from its finished A$1.25 billion buyback. That small margin is one reason shares have held around A$5.15 instead of trying for their May peak. Telstra Group shares ended Friday at A$5.15, gaining 0.19% from Thursday. The stock rose 1.58% over the past week, market data show. Shares traded between A$5.12 and A$5.19 during the session. The price remains below the 52-week high of A$5.58.

Westpac (ASX:WBC) holds steady; dividend cash seen as buffer in rate-risk week

ASX cash trading is closed for the weekend. Westpac Banking Corporation last traded Friday, and the stock’s final quote looks tepid unless you factor in the dividend. Westpac finished at A$35.14, gaining 0.23% as of 4:15 p.m. in Sydney. ASX data listed the previous close at A$35.06, trading between A$34.68 and A$35.25 during the day.

WiseTech Global Ltd. heads into the weekend trading session on the ASX with short interest around A$900 million, a figure that puts a number on the governance-triggered selloff that’s driven the logistics software stock down 74% from its 52-week high. The Australian Securities Exchange trades on Sydney time from 9:59 a.m. to 4 p.m. AEST, Monday through Friday. Shares ended Friday at A$31.55, gaining 16 cents.

Macquarie Group Limited (ASX:MQG) stock pinned below record as filings crowd thin week

Macquarie heads into the new week in a tight place: close enough to its record that sellers have room to test it, but with Friday’s tape too light to call conviction. The stock fell 0.25% to A$249.36 on 673,480 shares, below the 853,560 average shown by Google Finance. The day’s range was A$247.80 to A$250.59. The better read is the week. Macquarie slipped 0.18% from the prior Friday close of A$249.82, while the ASX 200 lost 0.73%. That gap matters because Macquarie had already run 23.15% this year and was still less than 2% off its 52-week high.
