After the retail stocks were trading soft from a downgrade by Kathmandu post-Christmas, the energy companies once again helped the ASX in beating the market woes.

Four stocks that came under the investor radar from a diverse set of sectors are mentioned as follows.

On the drafting of the corresponding long form off-take agreement, senior personnel from both companies continue to work collectively with the goal of finalizing this agreement during the current quarter.
