Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) paraded its third consecutive week of positive performance. At the end of the session, the benchmark index finished 0.88% higher at 7,238.8 points.

The lingering prospect of a 40 basis point increase to the Australian cash rate on Tuesday next week was not enough to shake investors of their bullish sentiment today.

Only one lonesome sector was unable to finish in the green today. The consumer discretionary sector was weighed down by disappointing performances from Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd (ASX: DMP) and Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES).

However, the question is: which shares delivered the biggest returns to investors on the ASX today? Here are the top ten stocks that came through for investors:
