Why Fortescue Shares Face Downward Pressure in 2025
What’s Happening with Fortescue Shares?
Fortescue Metals Group (ASX: FMG) has experienced significant market volatility throughout 2025, with shares currently trading at $18.23, representing a modest 0.8% gain in recent trading.

The iron ore giant has shown resilience, however, rebounding an impressive 25% from its June 2025 lows. During this tumultuous period, Fortescue has maintained its commitment to shareholder returns, paying out $2.47 in fully franked dividends—a testament to its underlying cash generation capabilities despite the challenging iron ore trends.
