tighten security, and cut operational bottlenecks.<\/p>\n<h2>Why The Partnership Matters<\/h2>\n<p>Seaborne trade represents roughly 70% of global commerce by value, moving an estimated $17 trillion of goods annually across ocean routes. This volumes pressure ports and customs officials to process huge quantities of cargo while maintaining security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Together, the partners plan to co-develop next-generation artificial intelligence systems that can automate and enhance core customs and border management tasks. These tools could shorten inspection times, improve accuracy in tariff and duty collection, and help detect threats such as narcotics, weapons, and human trafficking in real time.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing,&nbsp;BigBear stock&nbsp;traded over 1% lower on Wednesday mid-morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Deal Momentum<\/h2>\n<p>The company has been gaining momentum with a slew of recent acquisitions and partnerships. In late December,&nbsp;the AI solutions provider closed a $250 million cash deal to acquire secure AI platform Ask Sage, boosting its ability to provide AI at scale to defense, intelligence, and other regulated environments.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the company introduced its biometric identity verification technology at Nashville International Airport (BNA). Through its veriScan platform, BigBear.ai is enabling expedited customs processing for American citizens entering the U.S. via BNA\u2019s International Arrivals Facility.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, BigBear.ai said it had bought some technology from CargoSeer, an AI company that helps customs agencies scan cargo and manage trade risks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Stocktwits Users Saying<\/h2>\n<p>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the stock remained in \u2018bullish\u2019 territory amid \u2018high\u2019 message volume levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=75&resize=75&ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=100&resize=100&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=150&resize=150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=240&resize=240&ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=320&resize=320&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=500&resize=500&ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=640&resize=640&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=800&resize=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=1024&resize=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=1280&resize=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1&w=1600&resize=1600&ssl=1 1600w\" class=\"inline-image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/news.stocktwits-cdn.com\/Screenshot_2026_01_28_112558_png_0e3a11556e.webp?ssl=1\" width=\"928\" height=\"107\" loading=\"lazy\" alt><figcaption> BBAIs Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 11:15 a.m. ET on Jan. 28, 2026 | Source: Stocktwits <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One Stocktwits user said the company\u2019s revenue growth, along with contracts, could push the stock\u2019s price higher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BBAI stock has gained over 63% in the last 12 months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.&lt;<\/i><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"readfullartidlebox absolute justify-center items-end\"><button class=\"btnreadfull flex items-center justify-center text-center cursor-pointer gaReadfullarticle\" type=\"button\">Read Full Article<\/button><\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\"> <\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\"> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; it had bought some <span class=\"match\">technology<\/span> from CargoSeer.
