This was primarily led by inflows of AUD 15.85 million from exercise of stock options. On 20th October 2021, to manufacture IHL-42X soft-gel capsules, IHL entered into an arrangement with Procaps S.A. – which has global exposure of 50 markets and 500 formulations.

Technical Analysis: After making a low of AUD 0.110 in November 2020, IHL's prices witnessed a robust rally and recently made a new 52-week high of AUD 0.600. Currently, the prices trading above 21-period SMA and 50-period SMA, support a positive bias. However, the RSI (14-period) is moving downwards from an overbought zone, supporting a view of a downside correction in the stock. The immediate support level is at AUD 0.505, while the resistance level is AUD 0.600.

Since the scrip is trading at higher levels and after considering its increased losses in FY21, investing in this stock at current levels should be monitored as per the support levels, hence a ‘Watch’ stance is suggested. The stock was analyzed as per the closing price of AUD 0.545 per share, down by ~5.218%, as of 18th November 2021.
