The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) got off to a rough start this week, falling 0.21% on Monday to close at 7,417.8 points.

Meanwhile, the February earnings season stepped up a gear, with results from Insurance Australia Group Ltd (ASX: IAG), Aurizon Holdings Ltd (ASX: AZJ), Beach Energy Ltd (ASX: BPT), and Endeavour Group Ltd (ASX: EDV) all hitting the market.  

Speaking of earnings, the Star Entertainment Group Ltd (ASX: SGR) share price crashed 20% after the company revealed that increased regulation and competition has taken a major toll on its bottom line.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the company's home sector, the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) weighed heaviest, falling 1.4%.

Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) outperformed all others, gaining 1.8% on the back of strengthening oil prices. The black liquid's value lifted over 2% on Friday amid reports Russia will cut its oil output by 5% next month.

But the top performing ASX 200 share wasn't from the energy sector. Let's take a look at which stock posted today's biggest gain.
