The Collins Foods share price is down 3.5% to $10.17. The catalyst for this was the quick service restaurant operator's shares trading ex-dividend this morning for its final dividend of FY 2022.

The GQG share price is down 2% to $1.31. This morning this fund manager released its latest funds under management (FUM) update. GQG's update revealed that its FUM fell 8.35% in June.
