The Zoom2u Technologies Ltd (ASX: Z2U) share price has had a miraculous day.
Shares in the parcel delivery platform stormed more than 19% higher in late afternoon trade today after announcing a new contract.
Let's take a look at why investors are flocking to get their hands on shares in Zoom2u.
Telstra deal fuels Zoom2u share price
Shares in Zoom2u rallied late in today's session after announcing a contract agreement with Telstra Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLS).
As covered by my Foolish colleague earlier, the telco giant is now offering two-hour deliveries in certain areas of Australia.
Telstra has nominated Zoom2u's platform as the courier partner to deliver products from stores directly to its customers.
The service will begin with 25 participating Telstra stores in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane metro.
Zoom2u noted that Telstra is under no obligation to meet any minimum volume or fee commitments and the arrangement is not exclusive.
As a result, Telstra's use of the company's courier platform cannot be quantified as it is dependent on delivery volumes.
After opening the day at 70 cents, the Zoom2u share price tanked to hit an intra-day low of 57 cents.
Following the announcement, shares in Zoom2u rallied more than 40% to hit an intra-day high of 80 cents.
