Why Galan Lithium, Life360, Select Harvests, and Siteminder shares are storming higher

The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is on course to record a disappointing decline. In afternoon trade, the benchmark index is down 1.05% to 8,627.3 points.

Four ASX shares that are not letting that hold them back are listed below. Here’s why they are rising:

Galan Lithium Ltd (ASX: GLN)

The Galan Lithium share price is up 8.5% to 47.2 cents. Investors have been buying this lithium developer’s shares following the release of an update on its Hombre Muerto West (HMW) project. Management advised that it has completed wet plant commissioning and produced its first processed lithium chloride brine at HMW. This processed brine has now been discharged into the final evaporation ponds. Galan’s managing director, Juan Pablo Vargas de la Vega, said: “The significance of the successful commissioning of the HMW plant cannot be overstated. The HMW mining operations have now been completely de-risked from start to finish and in just a few months we expect to have lithium chloride concentrate ready for sales.”

Life360 Inc (ASX: 360)

The Life360 share price is up 1.5% to $19.21. The release of a broker note out of Bell Potter this week has given this location technology company’s shares a boost. According to the note, Bell Potter has retained its buy rating on Life360’s shares with an improved price target of $33.00. It said: “We expect similarly strong paying circle growth in each of Q2, Q3 and Q4 and, given this is the key driver of revenue growth, we believe market focus will shift to this positive rather than the negative of any weakness in MAU growth.”

Select Harvests Ltd (ASX: SHV)

The Select Harvests share price is up 7.5% to $3.89. Investors have been buying the almond producer’s shares following the release of its half-year results. Select Harvests reported an underlying net profit of $29.1 million. This was up 33% from $21.9 million during the prior corresponding period. The company’s managing director, David Surveyor, said: “Underlying NPAT is up 33% in the first half. The earnings profile of the Company has changed and in the second half we will see the benefits of increased external grower volumes and value-added sales contributing to the profitability of what is expected to be a meaningfully improved FY2026 result.”

SiteMinder Ltd (ASX: SDR)

The SiteMinder share price is up 8% to $3.27. This morning, this hotel technology company announced the launch of SiteMinder Powered. This allows selected hospitality technology companies to integrate SiteMinder’s distribution engine directly within their own platforms. SiteMinder’s CEO, Sankar Narayan, commented: “SiteMinder Powered is a natural evolution of our platform, especially at this time when we are witnessing AI reshaping how hoteliers work. Over time, we expect more agentic workflows to operate seamlessly across connected hospitality platforms – and, as those workflows become more automated, the infrastructure connecting hotel systems, distribution channels and commerce capabilities becomes more valuable.”
