This article outlines 5 ASX Predictions for 2026 that Stocks Down Under puts its neck on the line to assert will happen. It has become an annual tradition of ours, and some of these calls we get right, others we don't. Arguably our boldest call in suggesting ANZ would be the best performing big 4…
Large Caps
Although Computershare (ASX:CPU) may not be a name that immediately comes to mind when discussing the big names of the stock market (i.e. the big banks or miners), it has long been deeply entwined in the infrastructure behind the scenes supporting capital markets. It is an unsung hero keeping the monetary system moving safely and…
Last Friday, Channel Infrastructure NZ listed on the ASX as a dual-listing. It is unlike the bulk of Kiwi companies that have listed on the ASX before it in being capped at over NZ$1bn and specialising in fuel transportation and supply. And while the New Zealand economy is in a bad shape, this has not…
Transurban (ASX:TCL) is a unique stock on the ASX. No other stock has such long-term monopolies as Transurban does on its toll roads. Nor is any other stock arguably as hated as much as Transurban, given the constant toll increases. Of course, if you're a monopolist, it doesn't matter if you're liked as long as…
On Monday December 22, the ASX quarterly rebalance will be effective. Stocks will be promoted into new indices, while others will be demoted. It is important to note from the outset the June and December rebalances only involve the ASX 50, ASX 100 and ASX 200 indices whilst the March and September rebalances also involve…
Star Entertainment Group boss Steve McCann has not been one to shy away from honesty. He has admitted his company would never again see the huge flow of high-end international gamblers flock to its casinos, and would be relying on restaurants and hotels for revenue.
Long story short: The pre-COVID days won't be coming back. Even…
Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) has had quite the rollercoaster ride in recent years.
It avoided much of the lithium price rout, until mid-2024 because of its diversification. For investors, the company's diversification and the hope that the downturn was a short to medium trend was enough to keep the faith.
Yet the fact that prices went even more…
Last time we wrote about Telstra shares, it was in mid-FY24 and the company was under pressure. But 15 months on, things have improved with a strong FY25 and the company telling investors to expect the rest of the 2020s to deliver the goods. The company has never reached highs seen in 2015 since then,…
South32 (ASX:S32) began life as a spinoff from BHP back in 2015, capitalised at $9bn. In mid-October 2025, it is capped at $14bn - not a bad effort considering spin-off companies can sometimes underperform. Just ask Falcon Minerals (ASX:FAL) and Minerals260 (ASX:260), which came out of Chalice and Liontown respectively.
However, shares have been volatile, well…
AMP (ASX: AMP) surged 12% today after releasing a strong set of third-quarter results that reignited investor confidence in its turnaround story. For years, AMP has been viewed as a company in transition, restructuring, refocusing, and working to regain credibility after a difficult decade. But this morning’s update offered a glimpse that the hard work…
