Canoo Shares Double on Walmart Order for 4,500 Electric Vans
Canoo Inc. (NASDAQ:GOEV) shares doubled in value after the struggling electric-vehicle startup won an order for 4,500 vans from Walmart Inc.

Canoo shares jumped $2.45 to $4.84 at 9:35 a.m. in New York, valuing the company at about $1.2 billion. Its market capitalization is still down from about $4.8 billion in late 2020, when the startup went public by merging with a special purpose acquisition company.
