Not kidding. That was a very rough calculation of the total value of NXTL shares ($ 1.25 billion) that had to be purchased by the S&P 500 index funds yesterday in order for them to continue to track the index. All companies that go into the 500 see a pop on the day that it happens.

It is basically a one day event but the stock will have more visibility from now on.

Hope this helps.
