2 min read Daily Six

The top 6 most interesting things in ASX small caps today. 1,270 stocks analysed.

#1
SPX jumped +50.0% on 3x normal volume — one of today's biggest movers
SPX (Technology) had a cracking session, climbing +50.0%. Moves this size don't usually happen without a reason — worth checking what's behind it.
#2
KLI jumped +35.7% on 44x normal volume — one of today's biggest movers
KLI (Basic Materials) had a cracking session, climbing +35.7%. Moves this size don't usually happen without a reason — worth checking what's behind it.
#3
NAN gained +3.0% despite 11.9% short interest — squeeze potential?
Here's an interesting one: 11.9% of NAN's shares are sold short, yet the stock climbed +3.0% today. When shorts get caught on the wrong side, they're forced to buy back — which can pour fuel on the fire.
#4
GYG gained +1.3% despite 13.7% short interest — squeeze potential?
Here's an interesting one: 13.7% of GYG's shares are sold short, yet the stock climbed +1.3% today. When shorts get caught on the wrong side, they're forced to buy back — which can pour fuel on the fire.
#5
DKM surged +22.7% on 500x normal volume — real conviction behind this move
DKM (Basic Materials, $15M) traded 500.0x its normal volume today. When volume spikes like this, it usually means someone with deep pockets is making a move, or there's news coming that hasn't fully landed yet.
#6
CUF flagged by Scout but sitting 33% below its 52-week high
This is a classic contrarian setup: CUF (Basic Materials) is flagged across Scout's dimensions, but the market has it beaten down. When the data says one thing and the price says another, something's got to give.
