The
S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) was on form again last week and rose to a record high. The benchmark index pushed 46.3 points or 0.6% higher to 7,394.4 points.
While a good number of ASX 200 shares pushed higher with the market, some climbed more than most. Here’s why these were the best performers on the index last week:
The PolyNovo share price was the best performer on the ASX 200 last week with a 10.2% gain. This was despite there being no news out of the medical device company. However, with its shares sinking a week earlier following a trading update, some investors may have felt they had been oversold. In addition, the healthcare sector was on form last week, which will have given its shares an extra boost.
