TODAY’S BIGGEST SMALL CAP WINNERS

Income Asset Management Group (ASX:IAM) had a day out after securing a mandate to provide execution services for $160 million in bond holdings for a large Not-For-Profit organisation.

The group says this increases its assets under administration by 24% to over $800 million. Shareholders like that sort of stuff.

Ragusa Minerals (ASX: RAS) was up about 30% on no clean headlines.

It means the northern explorer is now up well over 50% since announcing a lithium acquisition on Monday. The 570sqkm of ground in the ‘Litchfield’ pegmatite belt in the Territory complements an acquisition from back in Middle March.

RAS says it intends to start exploration works to target outcropping pegmatite rocks (main source of lithium) identified from prior exploration, to develop a more comprehensive exploration program.

TODAY’S BIGGEST SMALL CAP LOSERS

(Stocks highlighted in yellow fell after making announcements during the trading day).

Scroll or swipe to reveal table. Click headings to sort.

Tabcorp Holdings (ASX:TAH) is splitting the bets on its lucrative Lotteries and Keno business into The Lottery Corporation (ASX:TLC), which raked in massive EBITDA of $611m in FY21.

Down some 85%, now TAH is worth about a dollar. Any bets on that?

Have a great day.
