What went up, and what took it there
The Canadian small-caps that finished green on this session: catalysts whose reaction paid, insiders sitting above what they paid, and the day’s biggest advances on real volume. Releases carry a date but no time, so each catalyst move is measured from the last close before the event through the close of the session after it — capturing the reaction whether the news broke mid-session or after the bell.

Winners by event type
Green outcomes only, this session. n counts the event type's winners, not its events — samples are small by nature, so read n before the median.
| Event type | n | Median gain | Best |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warrant Exercise | 3 | +6.3% | +9.1% |

This issue reports winners only: catalysts that closed green, insiders who are up, and names that rose on the session. The events, buys and moves that went the other way are filtered out, so nothing here is a hit rate or a representative sample of how these setups usually turn out.
Information only — not investment advice, and not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Event data is extracted automatically from public releases and may be incomplete, delayed or misattributed to the wrong issuer; verify against the company’s own filings before acting.
