The food and hampers business named after one of SA’s most beloved celebrity chefs, Maggie Beer, was the biggest riser this week – albeit off a low base.

The verjuice and quince paste purveyor added nearly $10 million to its market value as directors (including Maggie herself) bought up shares at historic lows for the penny stock.

This pushed the price of MBH shares up by 16 per cent last week – though it still languishes well below the firm’s all-time-high of 61 cents achieved in early 2022.

As for the losers, a common theme is energy, with BHP, Cooper Energy and Viva Energy all making an appearance in the bottom five.

The biggest loser was metal detector Codan, which saw its share price drop by 4.26 per cent last week.
