The high-flying company raised $300 million after selling its common shares in the U.S. market for the first time under the ticker symbol “MDA.” The stock now has a dual listing on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges.

MDA stock has traded in Toronto since April 2021. In that time, its share price has risen 144%, including a 57% gain in the last 12 months as demand for its satellites and space services grow. The company reported a record $1.63 billion in revenue for 2025, up 51% year-over-year.

MDA Space Pushes Into America

Management at MDA Space have said that they wanted to enter the U.S. market to attract American investors, and encourage coverage of their stock by U.S. analysts. The $300 million raised from the New York IPO will strengthen MDA Space’s balance sheet and help it grow through acquisitions, say company executives.

MDA Space CEO Mike Greenley has stressed that despite the U.S. listing, MDA Space has no plans to leave its home base of Canada, adding that the company is viewed as a vital national asset, particularly under Canada’s new defense strategy. The company has several Government of Canada contracts.

Is MDA Stock a Buy?

MDA Space stock has a consensus Strong Buy rating among eight Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on eight Buy recommendations issued in the last three months. The average MDA price target of C$51.25 implies 20.96% upside from current levels.
