Mergers & Acquisitions

When one company buys, merges with, or makes a play for another, it can either send share prices soaring or leave shareholders weighing up whether to accept the offer on the table. Australian public M&A stayed active in 2025, with 40 deals involving ASX-listed targets worth $50 million or more, led by the resources and financial services sectors.

Australia also introduced a new mandatory merger control regime from 1 January 2026, meaning bigger deals now face longer review timelines before they can complete. Below, we track the latest takeover bids, mergers, and acquisitions moving ASX share prices, including who's buying, who's selling, and what it means for shareholders on both sides.
