It was a great day for the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) this Wednesday. The All Ords ended up closing at 7,187.4 points, up a healthy 0.52% for the day.
But it was an even better day for quite a few All Ords shares. So let's now go through three that have recorded new, 52-week and multi-year highs today.
3 All Ordinaries shares hitting multi-year highs today
QBE Insurance Group Ltd (ASX: QBE)
First up is QBE Insurance. QBE shares had a very strong start to the trading day, rising as high as $13.10 a share soon after market open. That was despite the QBE share price falling for most of the afternoon and finishing up at $12.92 by the end of the trading day.
That was despite no real news coming out of the insurance giant this Wednesday. $13.10 a share is QBE's highest share price level since the pre-COVID highs of February 2020 when QBE was a $14 share.
Mader Group Ltd (ASX: MAD)
We had a rather strange day for this All Ords share. Mader Group started out strong this morning, rising to a new high of $3.85 after closing at $3.75 yesterday.
But investors seemed to have gotten cold feet over the rest of the day, with Mader Group finishing down by a meaty 3.7% at $3.61. Still, this is a new all-time record high for Mader, as well as a new 52-week high. All this despite no news out of the company whatsoever.
Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN)
Last but certainly not least is All Ords mining company Mineral Resources. Mineral Resources had an exceptionally strong day. The company finished up at $82.70 a share this afternoon but rose as high as $83.07. Not only is that a new 52-week high for Mineral Resources, but another all-time record high.
Again, there is nothing out of the company itself. But lithium shares, of which Mineral Resources is often associated with, had a strong day overall as well.
