Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) notched up its third consecutive day of gains. At the end of the session, the benchmark index finished 0.28% higher at 7,288.5 points.

The earnings surprises to the upside outweighed the company's missing expectations today. Once again, the tech sector provided the best returns out of all the ASX sectors today. Financials followed behind as another solid performing sector. Disappointingly, healthcare, utilities, consumer staples, and industrials all experienced a less desirable performance today.

However, the question is: which shares delivered the biggest returns to investors on the ASX today? Here are the top ten stocks that came through for investors:
