AMC short sellers lost $488 mln after Monday's rally - Ortex

Reuters2021-06-15

June 15 (Reuters) - Investors shorting "meme stock" AMC Entertainment are estimated to have lost about $488 million on Monday after a rally that sent the cinema operator's shares up more than 15%, data from financial analytics firm Ortex showed.

By contrast, AMC short-sellers suffered $1.2 billion in mark-to-market losses for the week to May 28, when small-time traders on online discussion groups sent the stock up about 116%, triggering a phenomenon known as a "short squeeze".

AMC shares were down 0.1% in premarket trading on Tuesday. The stock has surged more than 2,500% so far this year.
