Each Monday, Stockhead recaps the ASX stocks that are running hot with investors.

The analysis is based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a technical gauge which measures how trading momentum is affecting the price action.

A reading of 70 is seen as the level at which a company may have been overbought. If a stock has a reading of 30 or below, it could be undervalued.

While there’s usually a pretty good reason if a given stock is running hot (or cold), investors are also on the lookout for opportunities where the price action has separated from fundamentals.

Biotech moved to the top of this week’s list, as oncology company Immutep (ASX:IMM) recorded a 14-day RSI of 89.

The moved was backed my some material news flow though, as IMM reported “highly encouraging” results in a Phase IIb trial for efti — its treatment solution for late-stage breast cancer.

Also running hot was $700m hygiene products company Asaleo Care Limited (ASX:AHY), which received a non-binding takeover proposal from Sweden-based Essity AB.

Asaleo said that while its assessment of the proposal is still at an early stage, the offer does represent “a low takeover premium to recent market prices and is highly opportunistic in timing”.

And in another possible indicator that cannabis is back, a total of six cannabis companies made an appearance on this week’s Running Hot list.

Leading the pack was the cannabis-adjacent Stemcell United (ASX:SCU), the $20m agriculture company which posted strong enough gains to warrant a please-explain from the ASX last Wednesday.

Via its subsidiary, Yunnan Hua Fang Industrial, SCU is the holder of an industrial hemp licence in China and says it is “the first foreign company to access the vast China hemp market”.
