4DMedical Ltd (ASX: 4DX)
The 4DMedical share price is up 14% to $2.40. This morning, this ASX tech stock announced the further strengthening of its balance sheet after options were exercised. The move has pulled in $22.6 million in proceeds, which has boosted its pro forma cash balance to $45.5 million. Management notes that this will extend the funding runway for the company, ensuring it can execute its strategic and commercial priorities.
DigiCo Infrastructure REIT (ASX: DGT)
The DigiCo Infrastructure share price is up 14% to $3.11. This follows news that the data centre operator has secured new customer wins from from a combination of Hyperscale, Neocloud, Enterprise and Government customers.

The company’s CEO, Chris Maher, said: “As we noted at our FY25 results, the Australian pipeline, customer demand and scale of deployments has continued to track ahead of expectations at the time of the IPO in December 2024. DigiCo is uniquely positioned to meet surging demand for high-density AI infrastructure – where performance, latency and connectivity are critical.”
Eagers Automotive Ltd (ASX: APE)
The Eagers Automotive share price is up 9% to $31.94.

We believe we have found all these qualities in CanadaOne.”
