Airtasker (ASX:ART) confirmed its standing as the hottest tech stock on the ASX, after ripping higher in the wake of Tuesday’s strong IPO.

After raising $83.65 million at 65 cents per share, ART closed yesterday at $1.75 to kick of listed life with a two-day rally of 169 per cent.

Also on the winner’s list was medtech company Alcidion (ASX:ALC), which jumped after announcing another new network agreement with the UK National Health Service (NHS).

The latest deal is a $2.2m contract to roll out its Patientrack and Smartpage systems at five sites in the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust.
