I wouldn't get too excited just yet.

Deal is probably worth less than $10M. It's for an unspecified delivery time. Under SAB 101, revenue recognition may well be deferred for a new product.

And to stay a $30B company, LU would only need to announce another 3000 deals of this size or about 10 a day every weekday for the year. i.e. Anything less than $100M worth of orders daily leads directly to a shrinking LU.
