Critical minerals stole the spotlight as big project numbers, new processing results and fresh funding pushed several small caps sharply higher. A few capital raisings and legal headlines also hit hard, especially where early gains couldn’t hold.

Big moves came from a surging property fintech, a wealth manager hit by regulators, and a buy-back name that couldn’t find buyers after a price gap. Policy changes also kept payments and market infrastructure in focus, with 2026 dates now doing real work for investors.

A courtroom claim, a big feasibility study and a Greenland setback drove the week’s biggest share moves. Investors paid up for clearer funding and permits, but sold hard when project timelines looked shaky.

Big moves came from point-of-care testing and a sharp sell-off in two names despite upbeat news. Meanwhile, several smaller caps pushed trials and regulatory files forward, giving investors clear dates to watch.

A brutal sell-off in PEXA swamped an otherwise upbeat week for small-cap tech, where contract wins and product launches did the heavy lifting. RocketBoots led the gainers as investors paid up for near-term rollout revenue, while Adveritas rallied on a big push into self-serve SME sales.
