It hasn't been the best start to the week for the S&P/ASX 200 (Index: ^AXJO) (ASX: XJO). In afternoon trade the index is lower by 0.4% to 5,777 points with almost all sectors in the red.
But that hasn't stopped the four shares listed below from bolting higher. Here's why they have started the week strongly:
The Kidman Resources Ltd (ASX: KDR) share price is up 9% to 43.5 cents after the lithium miner announced plans to acquire lithium rights through an earn-in agreement with Western Areas Ltd (ASX: WSA). The agreement stretches to 19 of Western Areas' tenements within the greenstone belt that hosts Kidman's world-class Earl Grey lithium deposit.
The Liquefied Natural Gas Ltd (ASX: LNG) share price has climbed 5% to 70.5 cents after announcing that Transport Canada has completed its Bear Head TERMPOL review. Although a voluntary review, it is an important step for the company to take to unlock its LNG opportunity in the region.
The Pro Medicus Limited (ASX: PME) share price has jumped almost 10% to $5.34 after the healthcare imaging company announced an on-market buyback of its shares. On April 1 the company will commence buying up to 10% of the ordinary shares on issue during the last 12 months.
The Primary Health Care Limited (ASX: PRY) share price is up 4% to $3.42 despite there being no news out of the healthcare company. But with its shares down by over 16% since the turn of the year, it would appear as though some investors think it has fallen into bargain territory. I'm not convinced and would suggest investors hold off an investment until there has been a notable improvement in its performance.
