AVITA Medical (ASX:AVH) outperformed on Tuesday following the release of a cracker annual report and some welcome forward guidance.
The clinical stage regenerative-med firm offered stakeholders some meaty full year revenue forecasts of circa $30m – a 20% increase year-on-year.
Shares in AVH jumped sharply in February after it announced FDA approval of the premarket approval application supplement for its RECELL autologous cell harvesting device.
And over in Québec, amid surging global demand, the emerging Aussie lithium play Sayona Mining (ASX:SYA) has doubled its resource base across two flagship projects – the North American Lithium and Authier Lithium projects in French-speaking Canada.
