Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:LUNR) stock is on the rise Thursday despite a lack of news concerning the space systems and services company.

There have been no new press releases from the company that explain the stock’s rise today. To go along with that, the company hasn’t made any filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that would be behind today’s gains.

In addition to that, traders aren’t seeing heavy trading of LUNR stock today. Instead, only about 455,000 shares have changed hands as of this writing. That’s still below its daily average trading volume of about 1.3 million shares.

Despite all of this, though, it looks like traders are indeed taking interest in the space company today. LUNR is among the top trending companies on Stocktwits and getting a good bit of chatter over on Twitter, too.
