In late morning trade the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is on course to start the week strongly. At the time of writing, the benchmark index is up 0.8% to 6,717.1 points.

Four shares that are climbing more than most today are listed below. Here's why they are charging higher:

A2 Milk Company Ltd (ASX: A2M)

The a2 Milk share price is up 4% to $11.38. Investors have been buying the infant formula company's shares after they were sold off earlier this month following a guidance downgrade. It appears as though they believe the selling was overdone and the headwinds it is facing in the daigou channel are only temporary.

Adacel Technologies Limited (ASX: ADA)

The Adacel share price has jumped 8% to 96 cents. This morning the air traffic management systems provider announced its intention to conduct an on-market share buy-back during the period from 11 January 2021 to 10 January 2022. According to the release, the company will acquire up to approximately 7.6 million or up to 10% of its shares on issue.

Dusk Group Ltd (ASX: DSK)

The Dusk share price is up a sizeable 12% to $2.02. Investors have been buying the home fragrance product retailer's shares after it provided a positive trading update. Management expects sales for the first half of FY 2021 to be in the range of $90 million to $90.5 million. That compares to $58.7 million in the first half of FY 2020. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) is estimated to be between $26 million and $27 million. This is up materially on FY 2020's first half EBIT of $9.7 million.

Nuheara Ltd (ASX: NUH)

The Nuheara share price has rocketed 13.5% higher to 5 cents. The catalyst for this was a big announcement by the smart and affordable hearing solutions provider. Nuheara has signed an agreement to manufacture HP-branded products for American multinational information technology company HP Inc (NYSE: HPQ). According to the release, the hardware product purchase agreement has a contracted initial term of three years with automatic renewals for successive one-year periods.
