4DMedical Ltd (ASX: 4DX)
The 4DMedical share price is up 23% to $3.55. Investors have been buying this respiratory imaging technology company's shares after it entered into a commercial arrangement for the clinical use of CT:VQ with United States-based Cleveland Clinic. It is a CAT scan-based ventilation-perfusion software. 4DMedical's founder and CEO, Andreas Fouras, said: "In just over three months since FDA clearance, we've established CT:VQ at three of America's leading academic medical centres: Stanford, University of Miami, and Cleveland Clinic. This rapid adoption by elite institutions demonstrates the compelling clinical and operational advantages of CT:VQ over traditional nuclear VQ imaging."
Develop Global Ltd (ASX: DVP)
The Develop Global share price is up almost 6% to $4.43. This morning, the miner and mining services company revealed that it has been awarded a $200 million underground development contract. This will see the company establish access tunnels at OceanaGold's Waihi North Project in the North Island of New Zealand.

Electro Optic Systems Holdings Ltd (ASX: EOS)
The EOS share price is up 13% to $8.24. This has been driven by news that the defence and space company has won another contract.

The undisclosed customer is described as a large, investment-grade defence manufacturer. Management notes that the RWS is being supplied by EOS in a ground-to-ground configuration. The systems will be manufactured at its manufacturing facility in Canberra during 2026 and 2027.
