Harmonic Humming 20% Higher After Entering Warrant Agreement With Comcast

Harmonic Inc HLIT shares are trading higher by $0.96 (18 percent) at $5.62 in Wednesday's session. Investors are piling into the issue after it was announced the company has entered a warrant agreement with Comcast Corporation CMCSA.

Following a higher open ($5.21 vs. Tuesday's close of $4.66), it retreated only $0.09 to $5.12 before resuming its move higher.

So far, it reached $5.99 and backed off to the mid-$5.00 handle. The current high matches its November high of $6.00. If the rally continues through that level, there may be additional resistance at the highs from the September 10-11, 2015, highs ($6.26) and October 7 ($6.31).
