Extended read
MDA Space is making a major move to establish itself as a North American defense champion. By acquiring Blue Canyon Technologies from RTX, MDA gains a critical foothold in the US defense supply chain. This acquisition, combined with a new C$688 million Canadian government contract, significantly bolsters its long-term revenue visibility. Despite these catalysts, the stock continues to trade at a discount to US-based space peers, suggesting a potential valuation catch-up trade.
