AUSTAL LTD's stock soared 16.43% during intraday trading on Monday, marking a significant recovery.
The surge comes as the shipbuilder's shares rebound from a steep 22.8% drop on Friday, which was triggered by the company downgrading its FY26 EBIT outlook, missing consensus estimates.
This intraday jump represents the stock's biggest percentage gain since late August, making it the top performer in the ASX200 benchmark index during the session.
