It’s been a solid year for the top 200 companies on Australia’s stock exchange with the ASX 200 rising by 8.93 per cent in the 12 months to 30 June 2023, but the same cannot be said for every group based in South Australia.

Of the top performers, a big bump in the final month of the financial year thanks to a healthy takeover offer from Wesfarmers pushed Silk Laser Clinics up to $3.33 per share as of June 30.

However, beloved food brand Maggie Beer Holdings was the biggest loser, with shares deteriorating by 67.57 per cent in the fiscal year to just 12 cents per share.

Another poor performer was video game developer Mighty Kingdom which dropped to just above 1 cent per share, while rural property giant Elders also experienced a dive of 49.19 per cent to $6.58 per share.
