AMTD Idea (NYSE:AMTD) and AMTD Digital (NYSE:HKD) are both jumping on Tuesday regular trading hours, with AMTD stock soaring more than 236% to $7 and HKD stock advancing 126% to $1679. Hong Kong-based AMTD Idea is an investment bank, while its subsidiary, AMTD Digital, has created digital tools that perform functions related to financial services.
