Winners

Peppermint’s shares closed at 3.2c, up 190 per cent from when they last traded.

ASX100 component A2 Milk (ASX:A2M) has been the 15th-worst performer on the ASX today. The intellectual property commercialisation company, which has a market cap of around $7 billion, fell 16.2 per cent to $8.76 after lowering its guidance for the third time since September.

Amani Gold (ASX:ANL) was the worst performer, falling 33.3 per cent to 0.1c after announcing a board reorganisation.
