G8 Education Limited (ASX:GEM) and Think Childcare Limited (ASX:TNK) ended todayâs session by witnessing a rise of 4.643% and 1.974%, respectively. The primary reason which have supported these stocks was the favourable outlook by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA). As per the bank, the mergers as well as acquisitions are expected to boost moving forward in the childcare operators.

Earlier, Think Childcare Limited also reported their H1 2018 financial numbers.

This rise was mainly aided by the acquisitions which were done by the company in 2017 as well as in H1 2018. The presentation also consists of the information related to the balance sheet of Think Childcare Limited. At the end of June 30, 2018, the company had cash of $3.9 million.
