Okay, so I need to transform the given text into a concise news headline following the specified rules. Let me start by understanding the input. The company is Ocean Power, and the stock price surged by 30.39363304% intraday. There are three reasons provided for the price movement.
First, Leidos is acquiring ENTRUST for $2.4 billion to expand their energy infrastructure. Second, the North Sea Summit signed an offshore wind investment agreement aiming for 300 GW by 2050. Third, Ocean Power Technologies got a multi-buoy contract from the US Department of Homeland Security on January 6, 2026, supporting government security projects.
The rules say to include the company name, percentage rounded to two decimals, time period, and a brief reason. The example uses a structure where the first part is the headline with the surge and the main reason, followed by additional details in the next paragraph.
So, the percentage is 30.39363304%, which rounds to 30.39%. The time period is intraday. The company name is Ocean Power. Now, the reasons are three separate points. I need to combine these into a brief reason. The example uses the first reason as the main one, then adds the other details.
The first reason is about Leidos acquiring ENTRUST. The second is the North Sea Summit agreement. The third is Ocean Power's contract. Since the third point directly mentions Ocean Power, that might be the main reason for the stock surge. The other two are general industry factors.
So the headline should start with Ocean Power surging 30.39% intraday. The reason would be the multi-buoy contract with the Department of Homeland Security. Then, the other two points can be mentioned as additional factors contributing to the price movement.
Need to check the example again. The example included the first reason in the main headline and then added more details in the next paragraph. So maybe structure it similarly: first the main reason (the contract), then the other two as supporting factors.
Also, the dates given are all in 2026. The contract is from January 6, the summit is January 23, and the acquisition is January 26. The order in the input is 1, 2, 3, but the dates are from latest to earliest. Wait, no, the input lists them as 1. 2026年1月26日, 2. 2026年1月23日, 3. 2026年1月6日. So the contract is the earliest, then the summit, then the acquisition. But the acquisition is by Leidos, not Ocean Power. So the main reason for Ocean Power's stock movement is their own contract. The other two are industry-related factors that might also influence the stock.
So the headline should mention the contract first, then the other two as additional reasons.
Putting it all together: "Ocean Power surged 30.39% intraday, driven by its $240 million acquisition of ENTRUST by Leidos, the North Sea Summit's offshore wind investment agreement targeting 300 GW by 2050, and a multi-buoy contract with the US Department of Homeland Security on January 6, 2026."
Wait, but the acquisition is by Leidos, not Ocean Power. So maybe that's a separate factor. The example had the subsidiary's project as the reason. So perhaps the correct approach is to mention the three factors as contributing reasons, but the main one is Ocean Power's own contract.
So the headline should start with the surge, then the main reason (their contract), followed by the other two as supporting factors.
Let me structure it like the example: first the main reason, then the additional points.
Final check: company name is correct, percentage is rounded to two decimals, time period is intraday, reasons include all three points but in a concise manner. Also, ensure that the dates are correctly mentioned as in the input. The contract is on January 6, 2026. The summit is January 23, 2026. The acquisition is January 26, 2026.
So the headline would be:
"Ocean Power surged 30.39% intraday, driven by a multi-buoy contract with the US Department of Homeland Security on January 6, 2026, supporting government security projects. Additional factors include Leidos' $2.4 billion acquisition of energy design firm ENTRUST on January 26, 2026, and the North Sea Summit's offshore wind investment agreement on January 23, 2026, targeting 3.
