RKLB is trading 12% up today at $94.87 after announcing an $8 billion acquisition of Iridium Communications, to be paid in a combination of cash and stock.

  • The major M&A deal is driving strong buying interest as investors reprice the company’s growth prospects and expanded satellite communications exposure.
  • The stock's sharp jump is further supported by a generally positive tech tape, providing broader sector tailwinds for the rally.
