Emergent BioSolutions shares surged after the company reported a $67.4 million order for smallpox treatment Tembexa under an existing 10-year U.S. government contract.

Shares of the Gaithersburg, Md., maker of medical countermeasures were recently up 19% at $7.07. The stock has nearly tripled since the start of the year.

The company said the exercise of two procurement options commits funding through 2027.

Emergent shares also rose Wednesday after an update about 2024 and 2025 orders, but ended the day down 3%.
