BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BBAI) stock is witnessing a notable rally on the US stock charts, restarting its upward momentum from the previous-session dip. The stock increased by 33.89% in current-market trading, reaching $1.78.
This surge appears to be an extension of the rally initiated last week, which has cumulatively led to a weekly stock price increase exceeding 47%. Moreover, winning of a multi-billion contract award from a federal agency is also propelling the today’s stock price drive.
