Sigma Healthcare jumps as ASX healthcare pushes higher, Boots deal discount still in play

Sigma Healthcare Ltd opened Friday’s ASX session coming off a Thursday gain. The move was driven more by activity in health-care stocks than renewed interest in the Chemist Warehouse parent. Sigma climbed 2.56% to A$2.80 on Thursday, matching the S&P/ASX 200 Health Care index, which also gained 2.56%. The broader S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.68%.

Xero Limited (ASX:XRO) drop gives more muscle to planned A$550m share offer

Xero Limited’s A$550 million buyback can go further after the stock’s drop. At Thursday’s close of A$67.85, it could pick up around 8.1 million shares if bought at a single price with no costs. That’s 4.75% of the 170.6 million shares out. If Xero was still at its 52-week high of A$186.38, the same funds would have picked up just 2.95 million shares, or 1.73% of issued stock. With shares down 63.6% from that level, the lower price has boosted the plan's potential share haul by 2.75 times.

Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) drops after setting limit on buyback amount

Northern Star Resources is under the buyback average as trading starts Friday, with shares below the average price the company paid so far. There’s a fixed share cap on the current buyback, so if the stock hangs around Thursday’s close, Northern Star can’t use the entire A$500 million. The ASX cash market wasn’t open when this story published; Friday is a regular trading session. The shares dropped A$0.67 to finish at A$19.92 on Thursday. They were in a range between A$19.73 and A$20.37. About 5.18 million shares changed hands, below the 7.28 million daily average. Evolution Mining Ltd ended 3.81% lower, with Newmont Corporation CDI down 3.05%, signaling selling across the space.

Qantas (ASX:QAN) up 4% after L1 exits stake, jet-fuel spread narrows

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.

Macquarie Group (ASX:MQG) trades close to 52-week top with July DRP paid in new shares

Macquarie Group Ltd closed Thursday just 1.7% off its 52-week high, outpacing the Australian benchmark by 0.63 point. The next share flow is tied to the July 2 dividend reinvestment plan. The board plans to issue new shares for the DRP but could switch to buying them on market if needed. Macquarie shifted its approach for this year’s final dividend reinvestment plan, selling shares to meet demand instead of buying on market as it did last year. The 2025 final DRP price landed at A$213.66. This year it’s A$233.12.

ASX 200 down 0.7% with banks, miners offsetting gains

ASX 200 drops almost 60 points as sector gains mask wider split The ASX 200 closed down 59.7 points and the All Ordinaries ended 61 points lower at 8,951.60. Still, most sectors finished higher, with seven out of 11 in positive territory. The VanEck Australian Equal Weight ETF was up A$0.30 at A$38.70. The S&P/ASX 200 uses float-adjusted market value to weight stocks. MVW spreads its weighting evenly across big, liquid Australian names and holds a different list. The difference hit benchmark funds, as losses among the top stocks wiped out gains elsewhere in the market.
