Blackmores Ltd (ASX: BKL)

Following suit, the Blackmores price is up 11.34% to a 52-week high of $88.84.

And the ASX 300 companies moving the other way?

Also in decline is the Link share price, down 12.43% to $4.51.

The administration services company dropped its full-year results to the market, recording losses due to COVID-19 headwinds. In addition, European business and regulatory changes in its Retirement and Superannuation Solutions (RRS) business brought in lower revenues.
