Arqit Quantum is trading at $18.20 (up 6.3%) in after-hours sessions, extending its recovery following a strong 10.5% gain during Thursday's regular trading.
- The upward move lacks a fresh company-specific catalyst, likely reflecting broader risk-on sentiment in high-beta technology stocks and a firm Nasdaq backdrop.
- Price swings are being amplified by typical extended-hours illiquidity as the stock continues to rebound from recent volatility.
