Yesterday’s winners
Underwater drone company Aquabotix (ASX:UUV) had a big day after signing another deal with the US military.
The defence force with the world’s largest military budget has taken a liking to UUV’s SwarmDivers — miniature vehicles which can be deployed in underwater diving operations.
The company said it’s been awarded a contract of around $150,000, which marks the US military’s fourth SwarmDiver order since April 2018. Shares in the company climbed by 83 per cent to 1.1c.
Also rocketing higher was Flamingo AI (ASX:FGO), which briefly doubled on news of a commercial deal with HSBC, before closing up 70 per cent to 0.9c.
After trialling a virtual AI assistant designed by Flamingo, the Hong Kong-based banking multinational has signed the Aussie company up to build them the real thing.
