Today, investors in Meta Materials (NASDAQ:MMAT) are seeing rather impressive gains. Currently, MMAT stock is trading approximately 16% higher at the time of writing on very heavy volume.
Today’s move is a sharp reversal of some rather bearish momentum with this stock. Indeed, this innovative materials and photonics company has a range of products it’s currently working on. Among these, a non-invasive glucose monitoring system is what investors have had their eye on for some time. A 27-month U.K.-funded project was completed earlier this month, signaling a working prototype of a non-invasive glucose-sensing system. Since this announcement, shares have been on one heck of a rollercoaster ride.
Indeed, shares of MMAT stock hit a split-adjusted high of more than $10 per share on this news. However, since then, shares have dwindled ahead of the merger between Meta Materials and Torchlight Energy (NASDAQ:TRCH).
With that said, let’s discuss a few of the things investors may want to know about this merger.
