Largest gains on the ASX Monday 28 June 2021
Advanced technology company Archer Materials (AXE) was the standout mover on the ASX today. Shares in the company rose 10.7% to $0.93.
"While there were no announcements from Archer Materials today, there have been a number of positive company updates in recent weeks," said Finder's investments editor Kylie Purcell.
"Archer Materials has recently sold off all existing mineral tenements to mining companies iTech Minerals and NextGen Materials in exchange for shares and other entitlements ahead of their planned IPOs."
Tenements are permits that allow companies the use of a plot of land for a period of time, say, for mining activities.
"By divesting its minerals subsidiaries, Archer says it can focus on developing its technology business. Should the NextGen and iTech IPOs be successful, Archer shareholders also stand to benefit."

It rose 9.4% to close at $11.43.
"No big company announcements were needed to send Temple & Webster's share price soaring today," said Purcell. "TPW's price is up along with other digital shopping stocks thanks to the latest COVID numbers and extended lockdowns."
"Just as travel stocks such as Qantas are down, digital stocks and supermarkets are up across the board as investors preempt another shopping surge with people stuck indoors."
