Careful, Dabum, it may be short covering that is causing the run today. There are more than 1 million shares short, 3% of total shares. Only news I could find is following (MVK doing better than the techs on the NYSE):

Well, maybe you might get a short-term profit shorting MVK. I am holding it long, though I must say, since it's in an IRA, I am tempted to sell and try to buy back cheaper.

Looks to me as if the energy situation is going to require a lot of their product.
