No, only partially. The one big contract will prove the viability of the product. Prove the quality of the process, and open the speculation to all the other places it can be used. By the time the revenues are proven, the stock will have made its move. Its the "potential" of the future that will drive the price..

Re: what lights a fuse. I remember when Qualcomm traded wildly on speculation (before their first big contract) until a $2billion contract was secured with SprintPCS and another supplier, jointly. The revenue was guaranteed over several years and then suddenly the stock went flat. I think it was because once it was priced in, there was less speculation, etc. Beyond that, when the market demand became more predictable, it was less volatile.
