In afternoon trade the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 (Index: ^AXJO) (ASX: XJO) is having a solid finish to the week. At the time of writing the index is up 0.2% to 5,953 points.
Four shares which have climbed more than most today are listed below. Here's why they are ending the week with a bang:
The a2 Milk Company Ltd (Australia) (ASX: A2M) share price has climbed almost 3% to $2.71 after the release of a positive broker note out of the Macquarie equities desk. According to the note, the broker has retained its outperform rating and increased its price target to approximately $7.60. I would suggest investors wait for its AGM on November 22 before deciding whether to invest.
The Kogan.com Ltd (ASX: KGN) share price has surged almost 10% higher to $4.18 following the release of a trading update at its annual general meeting. Pleasingly, Kogan reported an acceleration in both revenue and earnings growth since its previous update.
The Noni B Limited (ASX: NBL) share price is up 2.5% to $2.05 after announcing a strong start to FY 2018 and a $5 million share buyback at its annual general meeting. I think Noni B is one of the best retail shares on the market at the moment and well worth a closer look.
The Pro Medicus Limited (ASX: PME) share price has climbed 4.5% to $7.23 after announcing a major new deal with Yale New Haven Health. The deal will see Pro Medicus' Visage 7 technology implemented across all of Yale's radiology departments and integrated to their electronic health records for imaging results. Management estimates the deal to be worth over A$18 million over a seven year period.
