  • National Storage shares up as board recommends takeover bid

    A group of business executives shake hands in a lounge.

    Shares in National Storage REIT (ASX: NSR) are trading higher on Monday after the company’s board said it would back a private equity-led takeover for the company.

    National Storage, in late November, was forced to reveal that it was in takeover talks with Brookfield Property Group and GIC Investments after an article alluding to the deal was published by The Australian.

    At the time, the then potential bid was “non-binding, indicative and conditional”; however, the NSR board on Monday said it would back the bid in the absence of a superior offer.

    As the company said in a statement to the ASX:

    The board of NSR unanimously recommends that NSR securityholders vote in favour of the transaction, in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to the independent expert concluding in the independent expert’s report (and continuing to conclude) that the transaction is in the best interests of NSR securityholders. Subject to the same qualifications, each NSR director intends to vote all NSR stapled securities controlled or held by them in favour of the transaction resolutions.

    National Storage chair Anthony Keane said the board believed the transaction provided an attractive valuation and certainty for shareholders.

    As he said:

    The offer from the consortium follows a number of earlier offers and a period of negotiation. The decision to recommend this offer follows extensive work by the NSR board and its advisers to assess the fundamental value of NSR and its medium-to-long term prospects. Accordingly, the NSR board is unanimous in its recommendation that the transaction represents a compelling outcome for NSR securityholders.  

    Shareholders in NSR will receive $2.86 per share, which will be reduced by 6 cents per share if the company pays out a dividend of that amount before the deal goes through.

    Regulatory sign-off needed

    The deal is subject to approval by the Foreign Investment Review Board and the New Zealand Office of Overseas Investment.

    It will also need to be voted on by National Storage shareholders, with the meeting at which this vote is to take place likely to be held in April.

    The deal is also subject to a break fee of $40 million should the consortium or National Storage decide to pull out of the transaction.

    An independent expert’s report on the deal will now be completed and provided to shareholders before they are due to vote on the transaction.

    National Storage shares were changing hands for $2.80 on Monday morning.

  • Telix shares fall despite ‘significant milestone’

    A sad looking scientist sitting and upset about a share price fall.

    Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: TLX) shares are falling on Monday.

    In morning trade, the ASX biotech stock is down 1% to $14.65.

    What’s going on with Telix shares?

    Telix shares are falling today despite the announcement from the radiopharmaceuticals company relating to its ProstACT Global Phase 3 study.

    The company notes that ProstACT Global study is an international, multi-centre trial in two parts. Part 1 is a safety and dosimetry lead-in with 30 patients, whereas Part 2 is a 2:1 randomised global expansion with an overall target enrolment of approximately 490 patients.

    The study is evaluating its lead prostate cancer therapy candidate TLX591 in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

    According to the release, the first patient was dosed at the Australian Prostate Centre (APC) in Melbourne, Australia.

    Management is optimistic about the future of TLX591. It highlights that it is the first phase 3 trial to combine a PSMA targeted radio antibody drug conjugate (rADC) therapy administered together with the standard of care versus the standard of care alone.

    What’s next?

    Telix has previously agreed with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that it will submit Part 1 data to enable clearance to expand Part 2 of the trial to U.S. sites.

    A public disclosure of preliminary results from Part 1 of the study will be aligned to engagement with the FDA.

    The study is also approved to commence in China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. In addition, as part of the further global expansion of the trial, the company will file a clinical trial application (CTA) with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to enable expansion into EU sites.

    Commenting on the news, Telix’s group chief medical officer, Dr David N Cade, said:

    Dosing the first patient into Part 2 of the randomized treatment expansion of ProstACT Global trial is a significant milestone for Telix’s late-stage prostate cancer therapeutics pipeline. We look forward to presenting the preliminary data from Part 1 of the study to the FDA and EMA in the coming months.

    Should you invest?

    While it has not yet responded to today’s news, the team at Bell Potter is bullish on Telix shares.

    It currently has a buy rating and $23.00 price target on them, which implies potential upside of over 50% for investors based on its last close price.

  • My husband and I left our jobs to travel full-time in our 30s. Transitioning back into the workforce has been hard.

    Toccara Best and her husband standing near waterfalls at Plitvice National Park, Croatia
    Toccara Best's request for a year of leave was denied; she decided to go traveling with her husband anyway.

    Provided by Toccara Best

    • When Toccara Best's request for a year off was denied, she quit her job anyway to travel with her husband.
    • Their "gap year" stretched into five as they kept traveling through blog work and housesitting gigs.
    • Their son's birth brought them back to the US. Traveling the country with him was easy; returning to full-time work wasn't.

    When one of my favorite graduate school professors died just weeks into her retirement, it hit me: I didn't want to spend my life working toward a future I might never get to experience.

    I started my career in education as a high school counselor. My husband, Sam, was a self-published author who could work from anywhere, so we took full advantage of my school holidays and long summer breaks, jetting off to new places whenever we could. We created a travel blog, ForgetSomeday, to share our stories.

    But the trips we took during school breaks left me yearning for more, and I approached my husband about taking a year off from our careers to travel full-time.

    It didn't take much convincing. We didn't own a home and hadn't yet started a family, so the timing seemed right.

    I submitted a request for a year of leave, but it was denied due to pending budget cuts. We decided to move forward with our plan anyway, not wanting to wait until retirement to make this dream a reality.

    The couple's adventures included a road trip through Scotland.

    Time for an adventure

    Over the next year, we slashed our spending and saved more than $30,000 by cutting out anything nonessential.

    We sold our car for $5,000 and brought in a bit more by selling smaller items, storing the rest in a 10×10 unit because we thought we'd be gone for just a year.

    By June 2015, we had about $40,000 in the bank, walked away from our lease, and flew to Prague on one-way tickets.

    We ate our way through Central and Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, partaking in bucket-list festivities like Oktoberfest in Munich and St. Patrick's Day in Dublin along the way.

    Provided by Toccara Best

    We visited more than a dozen countries — island-hopping in Croatia, Thailand, and Portugal; exploring Cambodia's temples; soaking in Hungary's thermal baths; and driving 500 miles through Scotland in a campervan.

    From hiking in Austria and Slovakia to swimming with seals in Sweden, the year became a crash course in adventure travel.

    As our official gap year came to an end, our bank account was still surprisingly healthy, thanks to housesitting opportunities and blog partnerships that helped stretch our budget. And because I didn't have a job to go back to, we decided to keep traveling.

    Little did we know, our biggest adventure was right around the corner: 6 months later, we found out we were expecting.

    Iceland was Best's final stop before returning to the US.

    And then we were three

    We returned to the US to have our son, but just a few months after his birth, we began traveling full-time again, this time exploring America.

    By his third birthday, my son had already visited 27 states. Eventually, the pandemic put a halt to our full-time travels, and we took that as a sign to settle down.

    We returned to California five years after the adventure started.

    When we planned our gap year, it was supposed to be just that, a year. But as time went on, the gap on my résumé grew, and my motivation to return to the career I once loved began to fade. My husband was also trying to figure out what he wanted to pursue next.

    The couple continued to travel around the US after having their son.

    Reentering the workforce

    We didn't realize that our global adventure would end with such a hurdle — a career pivot after five years away, right in the middle of a global pandemic.

    Maybe it was the break we both needed to reevaluate our next steps, but it has taken us both quite a while to get back in the saddle.

    Once our son started preschool, I transitioned back into the workforce as an executive personal assistant for a busy entrepreneur, putting my organizational skills to good use.

    When the executive moved out of state just over a year later, I quickly found a new role as operations manager at a nonprofit organization, where I've worked part-time for nearly four years. I've been searching for meaningful full-time employment for the past year and a half, which has been especially challenging in today's competitive job market.

    Was our gap year impulsive? Not exactly. We spent a year saving and planning. Was it risky? Definitely. More so than we imagined. Would we do it all over again? Absolutely.

    That said, if we were to do it again, we'd probably just stick to a year.

  • I’m building my AI startup in high school. I don’t buy the dropout myth — I’m still going to college.

    Ace Yip 18-year-old founder
    Founder Ace Yip explained why she's still heading to college.

    Ace Yip

    • An 18-year-old founder told BI what it's like building an AI startup while still in high school.
    • Although it was scary starting young, Ace Yip said she didn't want to wait.
    • Yip added that she doesn't buy Silicon Valley's dropout myth, and she is still headed to college.

    This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ace Yip He Hua, an 18-year-old founder and final year student at a high school in Singapore. The following has been edited for length and clarity. Business Insider has verified her academic history.

    I started building my career tech startup in March, and we launched in July with the initial prototype.

    The product was to help with recruitment, which is a big problem in Singapore, the US, and China, where the workforce is saturated. Fresh graduates have difficulties trying to get placements into internships or jobs.

    I experienced that because I was looking for a law internship. Sometimes, you have to apply to hundreds of firms just to get one spot.

    Juggling school has been crazy, but compartmentalizing helps

    I spend long hours in high school. It's difficult to balance my business commitments because I work with an international team. We have 10 members on the team, and three of them are interns.

    Some are based in New York and San Francisco, and I'm calling collaborators, partners, and investors. Sometimes, they'll ask for a call early in the morning, and I'm supposed to be in a lecture at school.

    I make it work by essentially compartmentalizing the two sides. When I'm in school, I focus purely on that unless there are situations where I need to take a call. When I'm working on the startup, I'm 100% thinking about that.

    On an ordinary school day, I've got to be up by about 6 a.m. The commute to school is about an hour, and I usually spend that hour clearing work communications.

    I go to school until 3 or 4 p.m. But every single lunch break of the past year, I've spent it working. After I'm home, I'm entirely focused on startup work. I'll study a bit at night, then I end up sleeping at about 2 or 3 a.m.

    I didn't want to wait on entrepreneurship

    I sort of jumped straight into the startup space. It was scary.

    I went to my first event, Singapore Tech Week, last year. It taught me that if I could hold my own and be confident in a solid idea, merit speaks louder than any labels like my age, gender, or how much experience I have.

    With the AI wave, we're seeing a lot of younger people make breaks in startup and entrepreneurship.

    Many of them are college founders, but I didn't want to wait. At least in tech, it's a very open space, more so than traditional sectors like finance, where you have to get your college education.

    I'm fortunate to be at the age where I can risk practically everything.

    I'm not in a corporate job where I have to quit to start working on a startup, or have a spouse.

    I know my age is a large focus point. Whenever I speak to people, they'll say, "Oh, you look really young."

    You can see the way they speak to you, that they hold certain prejudices. Maybe they see me as someone who's just young and chasing a hype cycle, versus being someone who seriously wants to do this.

    I didn't want to go about trying to fit in with people who had decades of corporate experience. I was leveraging what unique features I had, what could be things I was quick at learning, being up to date with the latest AI advances, and being able to build fast and scrappy.

    Along the way, people noticed, and they could appreciate that I was so bold despite being younger.

    It also forced me to learn really quickly on the job because I've never studied business or computer science, but I'm surrounded by peers and founders who are more knowledgeable.

    I'm 100% going to university

    It's common practice for young founders to drop out or skip university.

    There's this term: NGMI, which means "not going to make it." They're always like, "If you don't drop out, you're NGMI." That means you're not fully committed, you're not going all in, you're not taking big risks.

    I dislike the common narrative that to be a successful founder, you must look like this, move to San Francisco, or drop out.

    What I'm building is for college students and fresh grads, and what better place to be than on campus? I am surrounded by my ideal customer profile.

    There is so much room for me to grow personally, not just professionally, and college is a place that will challenge me.

    Likewise, working under a structured, larger organization will give me product and management insights that I can bring to my own startup.

    I am going to take a gap year before college because I know that it's important to move at a high speed at the start. After that, I will still go to university.

    I applied to universities in the UK to study law. My rationale for pursuing a law degree is less about the content knowledge and more about the skill sets that it imparts and the thinking that it trains.

    I'm also applying to universities in the US with a pre-law major and a second major in data science. I'm leaning toward the US programs for their flexibility and openness, as well as the existing startup network.

  • Regis Resources shares are up 175% in 2025. Here are the latest ‘very encouraging’ gold exploration results

    Two miners examine things they have taken out the ground.

    Regis Resources Ltd (ASX: RRL) shares are edging lower today.

    Shares in the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) gold stock closed on Friday trading for $7.09. In morning trade on Monday, shares are changing hands for $7.08 apiece, down 0.1%.

    For some context, the ASX 200 is down 0.2% at this same time.

    With today’s intraday moves factored in, Regis Resources shares remain up a remarkable 174.5% year to date, smashing the 5.1% gains delivered by the benchmark index.

    The ASX 200 gold stock has been an obvious beneficiary of the soaring gold price. The yellow metal is currently trading for US$4,198 per ounce, up 60% in 2025. But the miner has hardly been sitting on its laurels.

    Here’s what the company reported this morning.

    Regis Resources shares eyeing growth prospects

    The ASX gold miner has released its twice-yearly exploration update across its Duketon and Tropicana projects, both located in Western Australia.

    Building longer-term support for Regis Resources shares, the miner said that over the half year it continued advancing priority underground and open pit targets, improving its geological confidence across key growth areas.

    Management said they are now assessing longer-term opportunities within both operations, noting the company is evaluating and testing 100 exploration prospects and projects at varying stages of development.

    Among the highlights of the past six months of exploration, Regis said strong drilling results at its Garden Well Underground project confirmed the continuity of mineralisation outside of the current mine designs. The miner said these results support ongoing assessment of deeper down-plunge extensions at the prospect.

    And at the Rosemont Stage 3 Underground gold mine, Regis said its resource definition and extensional drilling continued to intersect multiple zones of high-grade mineralisation. This has extended the system some 300 metres beyond current designs and strengthened the medium-term underground growth potential at the mine.

    What did management say?

    Commenting on the exploration program that should support Regis Resources shares longer-term, CEO Jim Beyer said, “Our exploration teams continue to deliver solid progress across the business.”

    He noted, “The work completed over the past six months has strengthened our understanding of the underground growth pipeline at Duketon and confirmed further extensions at Tropicana.”

    Beyer concluded:

    The team’s systematic approach is building confidence by providing a steady flow of opportunities to support future studies, Reserve conversion and long-term mine life planning. We are very encouraged by the results to date and see ongoing potential across our portfolio as drilling continues into the second half of FY 2026.

  • See which companies have just been added to key ASX indices

    A woman in a red dress holding up a red graph.

    The companies that are in and out of key ASX indices have been announced, with the Gina Rinehart-backed Lynas Rare Earths Ltd (ASX: LYC) and Washington H. Soul Pattinson and Company Ltd (ASX: SOL) soon to join the S&P/ASX 50 Index (ASX: XFL).

    The most recent rebalance of the ASX indices is set to take effect from December 22, with the additions and exclusions to each index important for funds that look to track those indices.

    As such, an inclusion can be a boon for shareholders, while an exclusion can put downward pressure on a company’s share price performance.

    With Lynas and Soul Patts to be included in the ASX 50, two companies, Amcor Plc (ASX: AMC) and Mirvac Group (ASX: MGR), will be removed.

    China moves spur interest in Lynas

    Lynas shares have been trading between $13 and $16 for the past month or so, after surging to a 12-month high of $21.96 in mid-October at a time when China flagged extra export controls on key rare earths elements.

    The shares are still well up on the 12-month lows of $6.16, and Macquarie recently issued a research note maintaining its outperform rating for the stock, with a 12-month price target of $17. The shares closed Friday’s session at $14.14.

    As for the S&P/ASX 100 Index (ASX: XTO), vehicle dealership owner Eagers Automotive Ltd (ASX: APE) will be included in the next rebalance, as will Capricorn Metals Ltd (ASX: CMM).

    The $7.57 billion Eagers, in recent months, announced a major capital raise at $21 per share to help pay for its $1.04 billion 65% buyout of CanadaOne Auto Group, with the shares continuing to trade well above that level, last changing hands for $26.84.

    Analysts have looked kindly on the CanadaOne purchase, with Macquarie in early November saying the “acquisition of CanadaOne provides a platform for further North American inorganic growth, in what is a highly fragmented market”.

    At the time, Macquarie had a price target of $29.98 on Eagers stock.

    As for Capricorn Metals, its shares are up more than 100% over the past 12 months, during which time it acquired its Mt Gibson gold project where it has grown the mineral resource estimate to 4.5 million ounces of contained gold.

    The company also recently acquired Warriedar Resources for an equity value of $188 million.

    To make way for Eagers and Capricorn, Reece Ltd (ASX: REH) and Reliance Worldwide Corporation Ltd (ASX: RWC) will be removed from the ASX 100.

    There will be no changes to the S&P/ASX 20 Index (ASX: XTL) this time around.

  • What’s going on with this ASX AI share on Monday?

    A man has computer-generated images rushing through his head indicating an AI (Artificial Intelligence) concept of a communication network.

    DigiCo Infrastructure REIT (ASX: DGT) shares are starting the week in the red.

    In morning trade, the ASX AI share is down 1% to $2.48.

    What’s going on with this ASX AI share?

    Investors have been selling the data centre operator’s shares today after broad weakness in the tech sector overshadowed the announcement of the appointment of its new CEO.

    According to the release, the company has appointed Michael Juniper as the CEO of the DigiCo Infrastructure REIT and managing director of digital infrastructure for HMC Capital Ltd (ASX: HMC), with immediate effect.

    The release notes that Juniper brings more than two decades of experience in digital infrastructure.

    He was a founding executive and deputy CEO at AirTrunk, where he helped build one of Asia-Pacific’s leading hyperscale platforms. This includes expanding AirTrunk into major Asian markets including Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, and partnering with the world’s largest cloud and technology companies.

    The ASX AI stock revealed that the decision to appoint Juniper as CEO followed his appointment as a senior executive and director in September.

    It highlights that his experience, relationships, and track record in this sector make him ideally placed to lead the company.

    Commenting on his appointment, Michael Juniper said:

    I am honoured to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of DGT. DGT is uniquely positioned as Australia’s sovereign digital infrastructure platform, with strong foundations and a high-quality global portfolio. Demand from cloud, AI and GPU-led workloads is accelerating, and DGT is building a future-ready organisation that is required to support these next-generation requirements.

    Innovative energy solutions are becoming critical differentiators for our customers, and DGT is uniquely placed to potentially leverage HMC’s broader energy and transition platform to deliver long-term power certainty and sustainable growth at scale across cloud, AI and enterprise workloads. I look forward to working closely with the Board, our customers, government and our talented team as we create value for our securityholders in our next phase of growth.

    The ASX AI share’s chair, Joseph Carrozzi AM, was pleased with the appointment.

    He believes that Juniper will able to deliver on the next phase of the DigiCo Infrastructure REIT’s strategy. Carrozzi said:

    We are pleased with the appointment of Michael to lead the next phase of DGT’s strategy. His exceptional track record in building hyperscale platforms across the region makes him uniquely qualified to guide DGT through the growth ahead. We thank Chris for his leadership and contribution to DGT, having led the company through its IPO and foundation period as a listed entity. We look forward to his continued contribution in this important new government-facing role.

    The gold miner that Bell Potter is bullish on this month is Catalyst Metals Ltd (ASX: CYL).

    Catalyst Metals is a mid-tier Australian gold miner and developer with 100% ownership of two key projects. These are the Plutonic Gold Operation in Western Australia and the Bendigo Gold Project in Victoria. Bell Potter highlights that these assets are located in highly prospective, low sovereign risk jurisdictions.

    What is the broker saying?

    Bell Potter has resumed coverage on the ASX 200 gold stock and is feeling very positive due to its 10-year growth strategy. It explains:

    We see CYL as an emerging mid-tier gold producer in Western Australia, operating within a stable, low-risk jurisdiction. The Company is embarking on a 10-year growth strategy for its Plutonic Gold Operations (PGO), targeting a 200kozpa production rate. This will be achieved by developing five mines under a hub-and-spoke model and leveraging latent processing capacity at the 1.8Mtpa processing plant.

    Production is anticipated to double from 100kozpa in FY26 to 200kozpa from FY29 (~28% CAGR), due to the forecasted increase in tonnes and grade (3.13g/t vs 2.27g/t in FY26) as higher grade mines come online. CYL remains debt free with no gold hedging contracts, allowing full exposure to gold price upside, particularly attractive in the current gold bull market.

    Big potential returns

    According to the release, the broker has put a buy rating and $9.30 price target on the ASX gold stock.

    Based on its current share price of $6.55, this implies potential upside of 42% for investors over the next 12 months.

    Commenting on its buy recommendation, Bell Potter said:

    We recommence coverage of CYL with a BUY recommendation and a $9.30/sh TP. CYL is considered undervalued against its peers (EV/EBITDA 5.3x, FY26E/27E FCF yield of 1.5% to 7.1%). We view CYL as derisking the Plutonic gold hub with a clear line of sight to a 200kozpa steady state (FY29). Execution on the plan (five mines feeding an underutilised 1.8Mtpa plant) and Reserve growth towards >2Moz are viewed as the key drivers of multiple re- ratings and margin expansion.

  • Telix Pharmaceuticals updates investors as first patient is dosed in Phase 3 prostate cancer trial

    Four smiling young medics with arms crossed stand outside a hospital.

    The Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: TLX) share price is in focus today after the company announced the first patient has been dosed in Part 2 of its ProstACT Global Phase 3 trial for treating advanced prostate cancer. The company also confirmed plans for a key Part 1 data readout and further regulatory engagement.

    What did Telix Pharmaceuticals report?

    • First patient dosed in ProstACT Global Phase 3 trial (randomised treatment expansion, Part 2)
    • Part 2 to enrol about 490 patients across Australia, New Zealand, and Canada
    • Approval granted to also commence trial sites in China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Türkiye, and the UK
    • Part 1 data to be submitted to the US FDA, aligning public results disclosure
    • No newly reported revenue or financial figures in this update

    What else do investors need to know?

    ProstACT Global is the first Phase 3 trial to test a PSMA-targeted radio antibody drug combined with standard-of-care therapies versus standard-of-care alone for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The global rollout is accelerating, with applications underway to expand into European sites.

    The company highlights potential patient benefits, including different targeting and fewer side effects such as kidney toxicity and dry mouth compared to current radioligand therapies. The clinical trial’s expansion signals Telix’s growing international ambition, including approaching both US and European regulators for further approvals.

    What did Telix Pharmaceuticals management say?

    Dr. David N. Cade, Group Chief Medical Officer, said:

    Dosing the first patient into Part 2 of the randomized treatment expansion of ProstACT Global trial is a significant milestone for Telix’s late-stage prostate cancer therapeutics pipeline. We look forward to presenting the preliminary data from Part 1 of the study to the FDA and EMA in the coming months.

    What’s next for Telix Pharmaceuticals?

    Telix plans to submit Part 1 data to the FDA to enable US site participation in the clinical trial and expects to share preliminary results publicly in line with its regulatory strategy. In parallel, the company is seeking further expansion into Europe and other international markets.

    With global recruitment underway and regulatory milestones ahead, Telix aims to strengthen its late-stage oncology pipeline and broaden its impact for patients with advanced prostate cancer.
