So it was a very strong start to the 2026 calendar year, but certainly coming under a bit of pressure at the moment.

Been a few bits and pieces around.

I mean, what's caught your eye as far as company news is concerned?

One of the best, actually the best at the moment on the ASX 200 is Zip.

It's up 7.7%.

It also rallied by around 14% last Friday.

So it received a number of broker share price target upgrades and downgrades today.

This is where brokers give an idea of where they reckon the share price might be in 12 months' time.

So three brokers have raised their expectations and one reduced their target.

This all in response to the quarterly results, which were out last Friday, where Zip raised its annual profit goals.

It reckons it could make around $260 million for the year.

That's roughly $11 million more than what it flagged in the past.

And one of the key reasons is the strong performance in the United States.

A lot going on in the dividend space today.

We've got Washington H. Sol Patz actually trading ex-dividend today, one of the few companies that has, for the most part over the past few decades, it's been increasing or keeping its dividends steady.

Also, close to 100 exchange-traded funds are paying dividends out today to shareholders, mainly from Vanguard, BetaShares, and also VanEck.

They're all ETF providers.

We've also got New Hope paying out a dividend too.

The banks are really mixed today.

We've got a handful of the banks actually improving, but the big loser today is actually NAB.
