Good arvo, and welcome to HotCopper Highlights, I’m Isaac McIntyre. In this weekly segment, we go through all the most viewed and most discussed stocks on Australia’s #1 finance website. (It’s also worth mentioning this is the last Highlights for the year before we return in CY26.) Let’s start with most watched.

Listen to the HotCopper podcast for in-depth discussions and insights on all the biggest headlines from throughout the week. On Spotify, Apple, and more.

First, Boss Energy (ASX:BOE) has had a tough old week, dumping as much as -29% through Week 51 after telling disappointed shareholders they may have got Honeymoon’s predictions a little wrong back in 2021.

The takeaway is Honeymoon’s uranium is of a lower grade than first reported, is less contiguous, and will be harder to extract. Basically: Ouch.

Also heavily watched through this penultimate CY25 week was Dateline Resources (ASX:DTR), which I know JD has spoken about a lot in this Highlights series. The forum’s darling is back in headlines again on new drill hits; top intercepts from North Pipe reached 62.48 metres at 2.52g/t gold from 25.9 metres.

Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS) rounded out the most watched on HotCopper, thanks mostly due to a new remote weapon system order from a North American customer. EOS will walk away with US$21 million for the deal.

And now, for the most discussed through this latest trading week.

Here, Winsome Resources (ASX:WR1) stood out after teaming up with Canada’s Li-FT Power in a merger that will see Winsome hand over Gallinée too.

Elsewhere, ever-watched Telix Pharma (ASX:TLX) drew more HotCopper followers after reporting key progress in its latest ProstACT phase. The company dosed patients in its latest flagship prostate cancer program’s milestone.

And finally, lithium’s revival has helped Liontown (ASX:LTR) back to the fore.

No major news here, really, but with LTR shares now up as much as +174% YTD, it seems like more investors will be watching the stock into CY26.

(JD and I actually spoke about Liontown, PLS Group (ASX:PLS), and the lithium revival at length in our final HotCopper Wire episode of the year, if you’re keen to hear more about where we think the alkali metal is heading.)

That’s HotCopper Highlights, I’m Isaac McIntyre – I’ll catch you in ’26.
