Spire Global (NYSE:SPIR) stock is on the rise Tuesday despite a lack of news from the space satellite company today.
So why are shares of SPIR stock heading higher today? Let’s jump into that below!
- It likely has less to do with the company itself and more to do with yesterday’s mini stock market crash.
- Investors sold off shares amid a turbulent market on Monday and that pulled several stocks lower.
- SPIR stock was among these as its shares took a roughly 4% beating during trading yesterday.
- Now that the panic is over, traders appear to be buying back positions in companies, which has many others rising alongside Spire Global today.
- Backing up this idea is the heavy trading that SPIR stock is experiencing today.
- As of this writing, more than 9 million shares of the stock have been traded.
- That’s a massive surge compared to the company’s daily average trading volume of only about 457,000 shares.
- There’s another possible reason that investors are taking interest in SPIR stock today.
- The company announced last week plans to acquire exactEarth.
- It’s using a mix of cash and stock to purchase the company for $161.2 million.
- It’s also possible that some investors are taking advantage of yesterday’s dip to enter SPIR stock ahead of this acquisition closing.
- The stock’s price has been between the $10 and $15 range lately with a consensus buy rating and $17 price target.
SPIR stock was up 17.4% as of Tuesday afternoon.
