Shares of AMC Entertainment (AMC) continues to make record highs, the stock a since broke through the $69 level, surging more than 30%.
The theater chain operator’s shares were recently up 47% at $47.25, a fresh record. Its market value has ballooned to more than $19 billion, eclipsing that of video game retailer GameStop (GME), another favorite of retail investors on forums such as Reddit’s WallStreetBets, whose market value recently stood at just over $18 billion.
The gains came a day after hedge fund Mudrick Capital sold a $230 million stake in the company for a profit shortly after acquiring it, saying it believed the stock was overvalued, sources say.
AMC, whose stock has risen almost 2,000% this year, has been among the biggest gainers from a deluge of interest in so-called meme stocks, fueled in part by a new generation of social media centric small-time traders. The shares went from just over $2 at the end of last year to well over $40 now.
