Hoku shares surge as stock market swings upward

Advertiser Staff

Shares of Hoku Scientific Inc., the Kapolei-based company that's building a polysilicon production facility in Idaho, soared 15.8 percent to close at $9.46 today in Nasdaq Stock Market trading.

The $1.29 gain came as the Dow Jones Industrials Average rose more than 150 points. Hoku shares regained some of the territory lost over the past month. On July 13 the stock closed at a 52-week high of $14.05.
