The All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) is tumbling on Friday, but not all shares that call the index home are suffering.

Right now, the All Ordinaries is down 0.61% following a rough night on Wall Street.

Major New York indices tumbled overnight amid concerns about further rate hikes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) fell 2.25%, the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) plunged 2.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) plummeted 3.2%.  

Fortunately for ASX fans, there are plenty of pockets of green on the Aussie bourse today.

We've rounded up three that are positively outperforming – beating the index by as much as 4.6%.

3 ASX All Ordinaries shares taking off today

The All Ordinaries is tumbling today, but its downturn hasn't upset the Catapult Group International Ltd (ASX: CAT) share price.

The sports analytics technology company's stock is leaping 2.7% to trade at 76 cents at the time of writing.

It's the second day in a row the stock has posted a notable gain. It lifted 4.2% in Thursday's session. There's been no news from the company since November.

Meanwhile, the 4.03% gain posted by the Aurizon Holdings Ltd (ASX: AZJ) share price is easier to explain. The All Ordinaries company announced it's found a buyer for its East Cost Rail business – and it's expecting to walk away with $425 million cash.

The sale of the business was a condition imposed by the competition watchdog on Aurizon's acquisition of One Rail Australia earlier this year.

Right now, the Aurizon share price is $3.87.

Finally, the share price of All Ordinaries mineral developer BCI Minerals Ltd (ASX: BCI) is outperforming the broader market, gaining 1.92% to trade at 26.5 cents.

Like Catapult before it, there's been no news from the stock to explain its Friday rise.

However, it's worth mentioning the minerals share has been relatively volatile lately. It gained on Monday and Wednesday this week and posted falls on Tuesday and Thursday.
