Lumos led healthcare stocks higher after widening its US urgent care rollout, while Tissue Repair tumbled on its plan to leave the ASX. Strong trial updates, FDA steps and fresh funding kept the sector busy, even as several stocks fell despite good news.

Atomo Diagnostics reported a 40% increase in FY26 revenue to $5.3 million, driven by a surge in HIV self-test sales and new OEM customer orders. The company is advancing its syphilis and liver test developments while enhancing manufacturing capacity.

Atomo Diagnostics has closed a modest Share Purchase Plan, raising $44,500 and issuing free attaching options, while reserving a substantial shortfall for future placement.

Biotech price swings were led by Dimerix’s slide, while TrivarX and LTR Pharma surged on clinical and commercial progress. Capital raisings, FDA milestones and first sales kept healthcare investors busy, but several early jumps faded as traders locked in gains.

Atomo Diagnostics capitalises on Lumos Diagnostics’ FebriDx FDA CLIA waiver with over $2 million in new sales orders and a $3 million capital raise, expanding its global footprint and product pipeline.

Atomo Diagnostics has responded to ASX queries confirming it first held market-sensitive information after Lumos Diagnostics’ FDA CLIA waiver approval for FebriDx. The company defended its trading halt and capital raise timing, asserting full compliance with ASX Listing Rules.

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 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.

Cancer drug data and two separate Mayo Clinic-linked deals drove the biggest moves this week. Investors paid up for clearer routes to hospital rollouts, while one digital screening name fell hard after early gains evaporated.
