Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA)
First off the block is ASX 200 heavyweight, Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
The CBA share price has added another 0.89% to $105.75 this morning, another all-time record high for the largest ASX-listed stock. This brings the company's shares to a year-to-date performance of an astonishing 26%.
It was just two weeks ago that its shares crossed the $100 mark for the first time on record.
Some factors that appear to support the bullish CBA share price include positive key lending data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), soaring housing prices and continued momentum in the bank's earnings, evidenced by its third-quarter results.
Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES)
Similarly, Wesfarmers peaked at an all-time record high this week, closing at $57.13 on Wednesday. It's up about 11% this year.
Wesfarmers has been relatively quiet in terms of price-sensitive news this year, with notable announcements including a strategy briefing presentation in June and half-year results in February.
The company's half-year results delivered strong sales and earnings growth across its retail businesses, alongside an improvement in performance for its industrial and safety segments. The group experienced a 16.6% increase in revenue to $17,774 million while net profit also lifted 14.9% to $1,390 million.

The company recently spent $79 million to acquire stores and franchise rights held by Domino's Taiwan.
