Four ASX shares that are climbing more than most today are listed below. Here's why they are rising:
A2 Milk Company Ltd (ASX: A2M)
The A2 Milk share price is up 4% to $5.74. Investors have been buying this infant formula company's shares since the announcement of approval to sell its products in the United States. In addition, this morning the company kicked off its NZ$150 million on-market share buyback.
Cettire Ltd (ASX: CTT)
The Cettire share price is up 7% to $1.98. This appears to have been driven by a broker note out of Bell Potter. According to the note, the broker has recommenced coverage with a buy recommendation and $2.20 price target. Bell Potter believes Cettire "will continue to outperform its peer group consisting of global luxury retailers and local e-commerce players given its <1% market share in a large and growing market which could remain more resilient than other discretionary categories in a likely recessionary environment."
Lottery Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLC)
The Lottery Corp share price is up over 4% to $4.48. This morning this lottery company released a trading update and revealed that group revenue was up 11% over the prior corresponding period during the first four months of FY 2023.
