3 Top ASX Gainers

Light & Wonder, Inc. (ASX: LNW) 

Resolution Minerals Limited (ASX: RML)

Unico Silver Limited (ASX: USL) 

Light & Wonder, Inc. (ASX: LNW) 

has surged 12% at the time of writing on 8 May after the company reported another strong quarterly result. The company also maintained its FY28 target of more than US$2 billion in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.

Management expects mid-to-high single digit Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA growth in FY2026 despite external pressures as new product launches and ongoing share buybacks continue to support the business.

Light & Wonder currently has a market capitalisation of about $9.33 billion. The company reported Q1 2026 revenue of US$790 million which increased 2% year-on-year while Consolidated AEBITDA reached US$327 million after rising 5%.

Recurring revenue remained a major strength during the quarter as it climbed 13% year-on-year to US$574 million and represented nearly 73% of total quarterly revenue. Adjusted free cash flow also reached US$207 million which was an 86% increase from the previous year.

The iGaming segment continued to perform well. Its revenue rose 18% year-on-year to US$91 million while Adjusted EBITDA grew 22%.

Resolution Minerals Limited (ASX: RML)

has had a surge of 15% at the time of writing on 8 May primarily because investor confidence improved around the company’s fast Horse Heaven Antimony-Tungsten-Gold-Silver Project in Idaho. It has a very good position within the critical minerals sector right now.

The company has a market capitalisation of about $151.76 million and recently reported very strong metallurgical test work results from Antimony Ridge where sulphur recovery reached 99.5% which showed near complete recovery of stibnite antimony sulphides from lower grade samples.
Resolution’s major catalyst is a 13,700 metre drilling program at Golden Gate along with progress towards a maiden gold resource estimate targeted between late 2026 and early 2027.

The company is carrying out tungsten stockpile assessments and ongoing hydrometallurgical processing studies which are aimed at developing onshore US antimony processing capabilities.
Management is focused on unlocking long-term shareholder value through further exploration success, metallurgy optimisation and a planned NASDAQ listing.

The company is bound to benefit from rising global demand for antimony, tungsten and gold due to a trend of securing strategic mineral supply chains outside China.

Unico Silver Limited (ASX: USL) 

surged 10% at the time of writing on 8 May after investor confidence improved following another series of exceptional high-grade drilling results from its 100%-owned Joaquin Project in Argentina.
The company has a market capitalisation of $455.85 million and achieved a major March 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate milestone as Joaquin increased 143% since acquisition to 167Moz AgEq and combined district resources across Joaquin and Cerro Leon reached an impressive 330Moz AgEq.

Around 78% of the Joaquin resource is now classified in the higher-confidence Indicated category and this is supported by more than 200Moz of near-surface free-milling oxide mineralisation which improves the project’s economics and future development flexibility ahead of the upcoming PFS.
The company at the end of the March 2026 quarter held $62.7 million in cash and cash equivalents which places it in a strong financial position to advance aggressive drilling programs and wider feasibility work.
