In afternoon trade today, Evolution Mining shares are changing hands for $15.23, putting this ASX 200 stock up 15.3% for the week.
Among this week's tailwinds, the gold miner has benefited from a 3.5% increase in the gold price since last Friday. The yellow metal is currently fetching US$4,527 per ounce, according to data from Bloomberg.
Evolution shares also grabbed investor interest following the release of the miner's FY 2026 results on Wednesday.
Highlights included underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $3.17 billion, up 44% year on year. And the ASX 200 gold stock notched a record statutory profit after tax of $1.48 billion, up 59% from FY 2025.
With profits soaring, management increased the final fully-franked dividend by 62% to 21 cents per share.

The second ASX 200 stock leaping higher in this week's sliding market is Regis Resources.
Shares in the gold miner are currently trading for $8.47 each, up 15.2% since last Friday's close.
Atop benefiting from the rising gold price over the week, Regis also released its FY 2026 results this morning, with shares up 3.9% in intraday trade today.

Which brings us to our top-performing stock of the week…
CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)
Currently trading for $167.60, CSL shares are up 22.8% for the week.
Shares in the Aussie biotech giant closed up a whopping 17.3% on Tuesday following the release of CSL's FY 2026 results.
Investors were piling into the ASX 200 stock despite CSL reporting revenue of US$15.8 billion, down 1% from FY 2025. And on the bottom line, NPATA of US$3.1 billion was down 2%.
However, CSL shares look to have benefited from the positive outlook management forecast for FY 2027.
"FY26 has been a year of reset. We have taken decisive action and created a clear path to return to sustainable growth," CSL interim CEO Gordon Naylor said.
CSL expects steady revenue in FY 2027, while forecasting a 5% increase in underlying NPAT.
