Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) had a rise in the performance of its shares after the US stock market closed yesterday. The company’s stock had a significant increase of 5.40% in the after-market session, closing at $6.24. This more than offset a slight decrease of 0.67% that was seen during the normal trading session, which ended at $5.92. The price of CMTL stock shot up after it was announced that its subsidiary had been selected to participate in a significant project in Canada.
Comtech’s Canadian subsidiary received an invitation from Innovation Canada, a branch of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada, to be one of a select few companies in the Accelerated Growth Service (AGS) program. The AGS program’s objective is to support Canada’s high-growth, high-potential businesses by providing them with essential government services including finance and export opportunities.
A group of government specialists also provide customized assistance to participating firms in order to support their growth strategies and find new government initiatives that present commercial prospects. Being chosen to join the AGS program reflects the benefits of Comtech’s One Comtech transformation and signifies the trust of government partners.
Innovation Canada and its partners recognized the strategic value of CMTL’s growth plans and are collaborating with the company to seize new opportunities, particularly in the realm of intelligent connectivity solutions. Comtech, with its longstanding presence in Canada’s satellite industry, aims to accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies and deliver positive economic impacts across the country.
