• Guess which ASX healthcare stock is jumping 7% on big news

    Man looking happy and excited as he looks at his mobile phone.

    Orthocell Ltd (ASX: OCC) shares are having a strong session on Wednesday.

    In morning trade, the ASX healthcare stock is up 7% to $1.09.

    Why is this ASX healthcare stock jumping?

    Investors have been buying the regenerative medicine company’s shares after it announced the first commercial sales of its Remplir product in Hong Kong. Management notes that this marks a key milestone in its Asian growth strategy.

    Remplir is a collagen wrap used in nerve repair surgery to improve regeneration of damaged nerves and patient outcomes.

    According to the release, these initial sales follow the successful introduction of Remplir in Hong Kong, including its first surgical use and strong reception at the Hong Kong Orthopaedic Association (HKOA) 45th Annual Congress.

    The first sales were to MontsMed and provide immediate in-market availability and are expected to support multiple downstream sales as surgeons adopt the technology.

    The ASX healthcare stock notes that Hong Kong represents a significant growth opportunity, serving as a strategic entry point into the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). This is a rapidly developing healthcare market of approximately 100 million people.

    Strongly positioned

    Together with MontsMed, Orthocell is strongly positioned to drive market penetration through leading hospitals and specialist surgeons across the region.

    To further accelerate commercial traction, Orthocell’s recently appointed Asia Pacific commercial director will be active in market from the first quarter of 2026.

    It highlights that working closely with MontsMed, the commercial director will support awareness-building initiatives, surgeon education, and the expansion of Remplir sales across Hong Kong, with broader responsibilities across Australia and Asia.

    Commenting on the news, Orthocell’s CEO and managing director, Paul Anderson, said:

    First Hong Kong sales represent an important commercial milestone for Orthocell and a strong validation of Remplir’s clinical value. We are well positioned to support MontsMed in driving adoption across leading hospitals in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. We are executing our commercialisation strategy with discipline, and today’s achievement marks another step forward in establishing Remplir as a new standard of care in peripheral nerve repair.

    The company also notes that with ~$50 million in cash and no debt, it remains strongly funded and well-positioned to drive rapid product adoption and deliver a step change in revenue in FY 2026.

    It also advised that the Remplir rollout in the US$1.6 billion US market continues to build momentum. It revealed that in-country representatives are working closely with distributors to gain hospital approvals, onboard surgeons, and establish active accounts.

  • How high does RBC Capital think JB Hi-Fi shares can go?

    Stressed shopper holding shopping bags.

    Shares in consumer goods retailer JB Hi-Fi Ltd (ASX: JBH) have come down from levels well above $100 recently, which the team at RBC Capital Markets says creates a buying opportunity.

    The shares closed at $113.52 the day before the company’s annual general meeting on October 30, when the company also released a trading update which said sales for the first quarter were “in line with the group’s expectations”.

    The market did not appear to like the numbers in the update, however, which showed that comparable sales at JB Hi-Fi Australia were up 5% compared with the same period the previous year, and sales at The Good Guys were up 2.4%.

    Performing well on costs

    RBC Capital Markets has initiated coverage of JB Hi-Fi with a sector perform rating, and is positive on the company’s outlook, saying the company has an “industry-best cost base efficiency”.

    In terms of competition, however, they are forecasting heavy market share gains for online competitor Amazon.

    RBC analysts had this to say about JB Hi-Fi:

    JB Hi-Fi runs one of the leanest cost of doing business margins and capex/ sales ratios in global consumer electronics retail. JB Hi-Fi’s seamless omnichannel experience is a competitive advantage, in our view. Surveys indicate about 85% of consumers still want to shop in-store to varying extents, and we forecast about 60% – 70% of JB HiFi’s sales growth to come from bricks and mortar over the next three years.  

    In terms of specific products which will provide a boost, the end of support for Windows 10 “is a hard catalyst for a refresh with Microsoft‘s own support stressing security risks following end-of-support”.

    RBC also notes that there is room for further growth in the robot vacuum sector, with penetration being low in Australia and forecasted to grow at a rate of up to 16.2% year over year.

    Amazon looms as major competitor

    On the downside, Amazon “poses a material and growing competitive threat”, RBC said.

    Amazon now has the levers of range, price and fulfilment in place to facilitate a large step-change in market share, in our view. We estimate Amazon’s share of total Australian online retail will about double over the next 5 years, to about 24%. Relative to comparable markets, this level of penetration is still low.

    RBC stated that, over the Black Friday sales period, Amazon was approximately 2.3% cheaper than JB Hi-Fi on average across the nine categories they surveyed.

    RBC has a price target of $101 on JB Hi-Fi shares, compared with the company’s closing price of $92.92 on Tuesday.

    JB Hi-Fi also pays a fully franked dividend of about 4% according to the ASX website.

  • TPG Telecom lifts free float after $73 million Retail Reinvestment Plan

    A group of young ASX investors sitting around a laptop with an older lady standing behind them explaining how investing works.

    The TPG Telecom Ltd (ASX: TPG) share price is in focus today after the company wrapped up its Retail Reinvestment Plan, raising $73.4 million and boosting minority ownership.

    What did TPG Telecom report?

    • Raised approximately $73.4 million through the Retail Reinvestment Plan at $3.566623 per new share
    • Issued about 20.6 million new fully paid ordinary shares to participating retail investors, representing a 53% participation rate
    • Total new shares issued under both retail and institutional components reached roughly 103.7 million
    • Free float increased to 27%, up from 23% prior to the plans
    • Total gross proceeds from both reinvestment components achieved around $373 million
    • Proceeds will be used to further pay down bank borrowings, amounting to $2.7 billion repaid since 30 June 2025

    What else do investors need to know?

    The Retail Reinvestment Plan closed on 5 December 2025, offering eligible shareholders the chance to reinvest their recent capital return into new TPG Telecom shares at a 5% discount to average recent trading prices. The new shares will commence trading on the ASX from 11 December 2025 and carry the same rights as existing shares.

    Any applications from ineligible shareholders were declined, with refunds to be processed by 17 December 2025. The company highlights the initiative’s role in strengthening its capital structure and increasing its free float on the ASX.

    What’s next for TPG Telecom?

    With the completion of this capital initiative, TPG Telecom has improved its balance sheet flexibility by reducing bank borrowings significantly. Looking ahead, the company appears set to focus on sustainable growth while optimising its capital mix.

    Investors will be monitoring how these changes support TPG’s longer-term strategy and shareholder value, particularly as the increased free float may broaden the company’s appeal to a wider investor base.

    TPG Telecom share price snapshot

    Over the past 12 months, TPG Telecom shares have fallen 17%, trailing the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) which has risen around 2% over the same period.

  • If you’d invested $3,500 in Tesla 12 years ago, here’s how much you’d have today

    A man has a surprised and relieved expression on his face.

    This article was originally published on Fool.com. All figures quoted in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

    Key Points

    • Many investors see great promise in Tesla’s burgeoning autonomous ride-hailing and humanoid robotics businesses.
    • The stock trades at a mammoth valuation.
    • While a battleground stock, the bulls have now made substantial profits owning it over many years.

    Electric carmaker and robotaxi company Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is one of the largest companies in the stock market, led by CEO Elon Musk, one of the most prolific tech founders of our time.  

    Tesla is the first company to widely commercialize electric vehicles, which are viewed as a critical innovation in helping to wean the planet off of fossil fuels that have greatly contributed to global warming. While Tesla’s core EV business has struggled due to rising competition and fewer government incentives, investors are now more focused and extremely excited about Tesla’s autonomous ride-hailing fleet, full self-driving technology, and Optimus humanoid robots. 

    This explains why the stock now trades at a massive valuation of around 200 times forward earnings. Investors believe Tesla is on the groundbreaking level of new industries with massive markets, and that Tesla will be able to gobble up market share with its first-mover advantage.

    The bulls have been right so far

    Tesla remains one of the most disputed battleground stocks on Wall Street. And while many, including myself, are skeptical about continuing to buy the stock at such a rich valuation, the bulls have prevailed so far.

    TSLA data by YCharts

    As you can see in the chart, $3,500 invested in Tesla at the end of 2013 is now worth nearly $174,000 for a total return of 4,869%. Meanwhile, the same $3,500 invested in the broader benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is only worth $13,320, which is still a strong return.

    While Tesla’s future is uncertain, the bulls have now been right for many years.

  • Guess which ASX 200 gold stock is jumping 10% on $250m shareholder return

    Calculator and gold bars on Australian dollars, symbolising dividends.

    Ramelius Resources Ltd (ASX: RMS) shares are storming higher on Wednesday morning.

    At the time of writing, the ASX 200 gold stock is up 10% to $3.71.

    Why is this ASX 200 gold stock jumping?

    Investors have been hitting the buy button today after the gold miner announced plans to undertake a major share buyback program.

    According to the release, the Ramelius board has approved up to $250 million in share buybacks to be carried out over the next 18 months. This is expected to commence on or around 24 December 2025.

    But the returns won’t stop there. The board has also approved an increase in the minimum dividend to 2 cents per share per annum. This is the equivalent of approximately $38.5 million per year. The company notes that these initiatives form part of its capital allocation pillars in FY 2026 and FY 2027.

    Its three capital allocation pillars, in order of priority, are re-investment into the business, increase in shareholder returns, and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

    The ASX 200 gold stock highlights that the buyback is an attractive and flexible way to return capital to shareholders above the 2 cents per share minimum dividend.

    Though, it warns that the timing and actual number of shares purchased under the buyback will depend on market conditions, the prevailing share price, and other considerations.

    Maintain and grow

    Commenting on the news, the ASX 200 gold stock’s managing director, Mark Zeptner, said:

    At the time of the release of our 5-Year Growth Pathway to 500koz, the Ramelius Board gave clear direction to management that we need to “maintain and grow” shareholder returns. We are demonstrating this today in the form of a A$250 million share buyback program and an increase in the minimum dividend payable.

    This capital management initiative is underpinned by our track record of consistently delivering strong free cash flow and our confidence that it will continue into the future. Importantly, we remain fully funded, our production profile is growing and we anticipate further increases in our free cash flow returns. As our capital investments over the coming years start to yield benefits, we anticipate being able to provide shareholders with even better returns.

    Looking ahead, the company revealed that in FY 2028, the board plans to reset and grow the payout ratio, which is currently set at a maximum level of 30% of free cash flow, with a new payout ratio factoring in both dividends and share buybacks.

  • Broker says this small cap ASX stock can rise ~90% following ‘impressive deal’

    A man has a surprised and relieved expression on his face.

    If you have a high tolerance for risk, then it could be worth checking out the small cap ASX stock in this article.

    That’s because Bell Potter believes the signing of an “impressive deal” could be the catalyst to sending its shares materially higher.

    Which small cap ASX stock?

    The stock that Bell Potter is bullish on is Immutep Ltd (ASX: IMM).

    It is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that is developing a novel LAG-3 (lymphocyte activation gene-3) immunotherapy for cancer and autoimmune disease.

    Its core technology is based on the LAG3 protein, which is a key mediator of the immune system.

    Immutep’s lead drug candidate, eftilagimod alpha (efti), is currently undergoing clinical trials in five different oncology indications.

    What is the broker saying?

    Bell Potter was very pleased to see the small cap ASX stock sign an exclusive license agreement with Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (NYSE: RDY). This is for the development and commercialisation of its lead asset Efti in all countries outside North America, Europe, Japan and China.

    As part of the deal, Immutep will receive US$20 million (A$30 million) upfront, US$350 million (A$528 million) in potential development and commercial milestones, and double-digit royalties on net sales.

    Commenting on the deal, the broker said:

    We view this as an impressive deal that provides: (1) financial and industry validation from a credible pharma company in Emerging Markets, (2) significant non-dilutive cash in the form of A$30m upfront plus potential milestones, (3) leaves the commercial rights to the most lucrative US, EU and Japanese markets (>90% of market value) unencumbered for future licensing/M&A opportunities, and (4) could spur other industry parties (most obviously clinical collaborator Merck) to more actively engage for rights to the US and EU markets.

    Big potential returns

    According to the note, the broker has responded to the update by retaining its speculative buy rating on the small cap ASX stock with an improved price target of 60 cents (from 46 cents).

    Based on its current share price of 32 cents, this implies potential upside of almost 90% for investors over the next 12 months.

    Commenting on its recommendation, Bell Potter said:

    We have updated forecasts to include contributions from the Dr Reddy’s deal in FY26 and FY27. The deal sets a precedent for the de-risked global valuation of Efti to be closer to ~US$7b excluding royalties, a large premium to the closing market cap of $472m. There is clear multi-fold upside potential for IMM should it succeed through the current Phase 3 lung cancer trial in a NSCLC market valued at US$12b/yr in the US alone. We maintain our BUY (speculative) recommendation and valuation is increased to $0.60/sh after increasing licensing revenue forecasts.

  • GQG Partners share price in focus after November FUM update

    Young businesswoman sitting in kitchen and working on laptop.

    The GQG Partners (ASX: GQG) share price is in focus after the fund manager reported total funds under management (FUM) of US$166.1 billion as at 30 November 2025. Net flows for the month were negative, with a combined outflow of US$2.4 billion across its main strategies.

    What did GQG Partners report?

    • Total FUM at 30 November 2025: US$166.1 billion (up from US$163.7 billion at 31 October 2025)
    • Monthly net outflows: US$2.4 billion
    • Year-to-date net outflows: US$1.8 billion
    • International Equity FUM: US$71.4 billion
    • Global Equity FUM: US$37.8 billion
    • Emerging Markets Equity FUM: US$41.3 billion
    • US Equity FUM: US$15.6 billion

    What else do investors need to know?

    GQG Partners saw outflows across all major categories during November, though the overall FUM still grew month-on-month thanks to market movements. The International Equity strategy saw the largest FUM, growing slightly from the previous month, but experienced a monthly net outflow of US$1.0 billion.

    The company noted that its Private Capital Solutions activity is not included in this update. FUM figures include both fee-paying and non-fee-paying funds and are rounded to the nearest US$100 million.

    What’s next for GQG Partners?

    Looking ahead, GQG Partners will likely remain focused on retaining client assets and stabilising net flows, while navigating evolving market conditions. Investors may watch for future updates on flows and any insight into product strategy or geographic diversification.

    With FUM levels holding firm despite outflows, attention will turn to any further changes in investor sentiment or the firm’s approach to attracting new clients.

    GQG Partners share price snapshot

    Over the past 12 months, GQG Partners shares have fallen 21%, trailing the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) which has risen around 2% over the same period.

    • A small fraction of all No. 1 hits have ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks or more.
    • "All I Want for Christmas Is You" returned to No. 1 for its 19th week atop the chart.
    • Mariah Carey ties Lil Nas X and Shaboozey for the all-time record.

    The Billboard Hot 100 is widely regarded as the definitive all-genre singles chart in the US.

    Since the chart launched in 1958, over 1,000 songs have reached the coveted No. 1 spot. However, far fewer have remained there for double-digit weeks.

    Mariah Carey's 1994 smash "All I Want for Christmas Is You," which has cyclically returned to No. 1 each holiday season since 2019, recently notched its 19th week atop the chart — tying Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" for the longest domination in history.

    Keep reading for a roundup of all 47 songs that have ruled the chart for at least 10 weeks, listed in the order they reached that milestone.
