Why Maxar Technologies Stock Popped 10% This Morning

In trading earlier today, shares of the space technologies and earth imaging satellite company jumped more than 10% before retracing to about a 6.9% gain as of 1:15 p.m. EDT. Once again, however, there appears to be no clear answer as to exactly why Maxar stock is surging. Since investors can't invest in SpaceX (at least not directly), so this theory goes, they might decide to buy another space stock, like Maxar, instead.
