Rise and Shine: Everything you need to know before the ASX opens
Via Getty
On Stockhead today, It’s a big one for medtech and for kicking some cancer ass, as our American friends would say. When not facing another banking crisis.
Volpara share price has risen 44% so far in ’23 after a string of wins and a maiden profitable quarter. Now, as the US FDA is finalising new breast density therapy regulations, the cancer-fighting stock is on the edge of a step-change, Nadine corners VHT’s new CEO Teri Thomas.
Speaking of the big and awful C… people are just about done with chemo. If you or someone you love has had a spray, we’re speaking your language.
Brokers are starting to sense the change and one man wondering if sciences like immunotherapy can do in chemo is Eddy Sunarto, he speaks to health sector analysts for their best picks – as well as another man who already knows, Immutep CEO, Mark Voigt.
Meanwhile, our Josh Chiat is overboard with these key ASX lithium miners who’ve all revealed plans to head downstream and produce lithium hydroxide…
But first, the day ahead…

Moho Resources (ASX:MOH) up nearly 27% on news that it’s completed a drill program at its Burracoppin Project in WA, on the hunt for both REEs and gold.
Moho says that it has found “a soil gold anomalism coincident with elevated arsenic values and proximal to shearing and folding, which it believes could be related to sulphide mineralisation in the underlying bedrock” #SoundsDelish.
Flexiroam (ASX:FRX) is at it again, spiking 25% on absolutely no news since it responded to an ASX speeding ticket from the last time it did the same thing – but it’s keeping good company with a lot of other minnows moving around for no discernible reason, other than “the market’s being a bit weird”.
IntelliHR (ASX:IHR), gained 14% after a counteroffer from Humanforce Holdings came in over the top of a bid by The Access Group to snatch IHR out from under its nose.
Humanforce Holdings had originally offered up $0.11 per share for IHR, which TAG tried to knock off the table with a $0.14 bid of its own.
Humanforce has come back with a $0.165 cash per share, (a 17.86% premium on the TAG offer), and has agreed to delete the IHR material adverse change condition from its original offer as well.
