The All Ordinaries index (ASX: XAO) may be having another off day, but thankfully it isn’t all doom and gloom on the ASX boards today. In fact, some ASX All Ords shares are even charging higher today.
Let’s take a look at a few that are rising even as the market tumbles. They are as follows:
Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1)
The Accent share price is up 2.5% to $2.00. This is despite there being no news out of the footwear retailer. Though, it is worth noting that Bell Potter reiterated its buy rating and $2.50 price target on the company’s shares this week.
The Bapcor share price is up 1.5% to $5.14. This is likely to be due to investors buying the auto parts retailer’s shares in response to the receipt of an unsolicited, indicative, conditional and non-binding takeover proposal from Bain Capital this week. If the deal goes through, Bapcor shareholders would receive $5.40 cash per share from the private equity giant. Though, it is worth noting that the offer price is well short of Bapcor’s 52-week high of $7.09.
DroneShield Ltd (ASX: DRO)
The DroneShield share price is up a further 4% to $1.36. This counter drone technology company’s shares have been on fire this year. So much so, this ASX All Ords share is now up approximately 260% since the start of the year. Strong demand for its technology has been getting investors excited.
Emerald Resources NL (ASX: EMR)
The Emerald Resources share price is up 6% to $3.65. This is despite there being no news out of the Western Australian gold explorer and developer.
Judo Capital Holdings Ltd (ASX: JDO)
The Judo Capital share price is up 4% to $1.36. This has been driven by news that the business lender will be added to the ASX 200 index next week. S&P Dow Jones Indices has announced that ASX All Ords share Judo Capital will replace building materials company CSR Ltd (ASX: CSR) when it is removed from the index week. This remains subject to shareholder and final court approval of the scheme of arrangement which will see CSR acquired by Compagnie de Saint-Gobain.
Kelly Partners Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: KPG)
The Kelly Partners share price is up 4.5% to $7.73. Today’s strong gain is a mystery given that there has been no meaningful news out of the accounting company for some time. Though, its shares have been flying recently and now sit just short of a record high.
The Tuas share price is up 3% to $4.13. Once again, there has been no news out of this Singapore based telco. However, this ASX All Ords share is just a few cents off a record high. This has been driven by a strong performance in FY 2024.
