Here are the top 10 ASX 200 shares today

What a way to finish the year…

Posted by
Mitchell Lawler
Mitchell stumbled upon the concept of investing when in high school, devotedly urging his parents to put some money into a handful of technology companies with increasingly popular products among his demographic – many of which have gone on to great success. It wouldn’t be until 2017, some five years later, that Mitchell became an investor of his own money. Having studied and worked as a mechanical engineer in the building services industry, Mitchell takes a methodical and analytical approach to evaluating businesses. Rather than relying purely on numbers, Mitchell drills beyond a company’s metaphorical mantle to unearth obscure patterns or competitive advantages that would go otherwise unnoticed. His expertise resides within areas such as software, consumer goods, and building services equipment. However, his quest to find quality companies that set the industry standard and flex some degree of an impenetrable position has no limits – small cap to mega cap, cosmetics to healthcare – if it’s an exceptional business it’s on his radar.

Ending the year on a high note, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) rallied on the last trading day of 2022. The benchmark index climbed 0.26% to 7,038.7 points, following in the footsteps of the US stock market last night.

Nearly all sectors of the Australian share market were walking with a spring in their step on Friday. All except for one, the real estate sector — slipping slightly lower with broad weakness among popular property names.

The most significant move inside the top 200 came from Link Administration Holdings Ltd (ASX: LNK), taking a woeful 40% tumble. Although, the move was due to the company's shares trading ex-distribution of its holding in the online conveyancing platform PEXA Group Ltd (ASX: PXA).

Top 10 ASX 200 shares countdown

It's been an underwhelming year for the BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN) share price, but that didn't stop the chip developer's shares from taking off today. Despite the rather sizeable 12% move, there didn't appear to be any information to explain the move.

Meanwhile, it was a sea of green for ASX lithium shares on Friday. Several lithium names made it into the top 10 following news in the United States that leased electric vehicles will also qualify for the US$7,500 in tax credits.
