The major announcement that halted Mullen’s stock this morning was that the company acquired a controlling stake in Bollinger Motors. Bollinger is an EV Truck startup that made headlines as a potential early competitor to Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Cybertruck. Mullen acquired the 60% stake in the company for a price of $148.2 million cash, which investors clearly thought could be spent better elsewhere. The stock initially surged higher by double digits, only to pare those gains and close the day nearly 10% lower.
