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.

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:
