Following the coronavirus crash, we've been privy to the strongest bounce-back rally from a bear market bottom in history. But just because Wall Street remains optimistic on the market as a whole, it doesn't mean that every stock will participate in the rally.</p>\n<p>For each of the following three ultra-popular stocks, the lowest price target from an analyst on Wall Street implies downside ranging from 50% to as much as 97%! The question is, are these bearish projections achievable or far too negative? Let's take a closer look.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dec27061af0ee8f4d3a52b5cac0b883b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Moderna: Implied decline of 76%</h2>\n<p>First up is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the absolute hottest stocks since the end of 2019, biotech stock <b>Moderna</b> (NASDAQ:MRNA). Taking into account Moderna's insane run over the past two weeks, shares are up almost 1,700% since the end of 2019. Yet according to the lowest price target on Wall Street of $83, Moderna has the potential to shed 76% of its value.</p>\n<p>As you may be well aware, Moderna's popularity stems from its work in developing a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. This two-dose treatment, known as mRNA-1273, produced a vaccine effectiveness of just over 94% in late-stage clinical trials, which was the catalyst that allowed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to grant it emergency-use authorization (EUA).</p>\n<p>With Moderna aiming to have between 800 million and 1 billion doses produced this year, the company believes it'll top $19 billion in annual sales. For some context, this'll make mRNA-1273 the third best-selling drug in the world, behind only <b>AbbVie</b>'s anti-inflammatory Humira and the <b>Pfizer</b>/<b>BioNTech</b>&nbsp;COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2. Moderna will also be wildly profitable in 2021, with Wall Street's consensus estimate calling for $24.57 in earnings per share, or nearly $9.9 billion.</p>\n<p>However, Moderna isn't alone on the vaccine front. It's contending with Pfizer/BioNTech, the one-shot <b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>&nbsp;vaccine, which has EUA in the U.S. and Europe, <b>AstraZeneca</b>'s two-dose vaccine, and the strong likelihood that <b>Novavax</b>&nbsp;will be granted EUA for its COVID-19 vaccine, which produced roughly 90% vaccine efficacy in two large-scale studies. It's quite possible Moderna's market peaks in 2021 and tapers afterwards.</p>\n<p>Valuation is a concern, too. While Moderna isn't pricey from a price-to-earnings perspective, most biotech stocks run into a brick wall when they hit six or seven times peak annual sales. Moderna is a bit above that level, as of this past weekend. While I'm not inclined to believe that $83 is a realistic price target in the near term, I do believe it's time to book profits on Moderna considering the uncertain competitive landscape and its lack of approved therapies beyond mRNA-1273.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16ca48e46c5ed915bdfaeb115d44e553\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Shopify: Implied decline of 50%</h2>\n<p>Your eyes are not deceiving you -- that really says <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP). Although the cloud-based e-commerce platform is a favorite among growth stock investors, one Wall Street analyst isn't a fan. The low-water analyst target of $825 would represent an implied decline in Shopify's stock of 50%.</p>\n<p>The most logical reason for Wall Street analysts to be skeptical of Shopify's upside would be its valuation. I know, \"growth stocks always trade at premiums!\" However, Shopify's premium is pushing some boundaries.</p>\n<p>Sporting a $205 billion market cap, the company is now valued at 46 times estimated sales for 2021 and 35 times projected sales for 2022. For some context here, Shopify ended 2015 through 2018 at 11 to 16 times sales and has averaged a revenue multiple of 28 over the past five years.</p>\n<p>To boot, even though Shopify is profitable on a recurring basis, it has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of almost 330. Again, there's some leeway given to hypergrowth stocks on the valuation front, but Shopify is certainly pushing those traditional boundaries.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Shopify has proved it's an absolute e-commerce beast. We were already witnessing businesses transitioning online and into the cloud long before the pandemic.

With interest expenses doubling and the company $473 million in arrears on its rent, there's pretty much no way AMC meets its debt obligations based on its current trajectory.

It's been my contention for weeks that social-media-driven misinformation from its retail investors has been the driving force behind this stock.</p>\n<p>Although it's not going to go down in a straight line, AMC is very likely going to be walked back to the mid-single digits within the next six months to two years. There's also zero guarantee that it'll survive the next five years.

Following the coronavirus crash, we've been privy to the strongest bounce-back rally from a bear market bottom in history. But just because Wall Street remains optimistic on the market as a whole, it doesn't mean that every stock will participate in the rally.\nFor each of the following three ultra-popular stocks, the lowest price target from an analyst on Wall Street implies downside ranging from 50% to as much as 97%! The question is, are these bearish projections achievable or far too negative? Let's take a closer look.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nModerna: Implied decline of 76%\nFirst up is one of the absolute hottest stocks since the end of 2019, biotech stock Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA). Taking into account Moderna's insane run over the past two weeks, shares are up almost 1,700% since the end of 2019. Yet according to the lowest price target on Wall Street of $83, Moderna has the potential to shed 76% of its value.\nAs you may be well aware, Moderna's popularity stems from its work in developing a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. This two-dose treatment, known as mRNA-1273, produced a vaccine effectiveness of just over 94% in late-stage clinical trials, which was the catalyst that allowed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to grant it emergency-use authorization (EUA).\nWith Moderna aiming to have between 800 million and 1 billion doses produced this year, the company believes it'll top $19 billion in annual sales. For some context, this'll make mRNA-1273 the third best-selling drug in the world, behind only AbbVie's anti-inflammatory Humira and the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2. Moderna will also be wildly profitable in 2021, with Wall Street's consensus estimate calling for $24.57 in earnings per share, or nearly $9.9 billion.\nHowever, Moderna isn't alone on the vaccine front. It's contending with Pfizer/BioNTech, the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which has EUA in the U.S. and Europe, AstraZeneca's two-dose vaccine, and the strong likelihood that Novavax will be granted EUA for its COVID-19 vaccine, which produced roughly 90% vaccine efficacy in two large-scale studies. It's quite possible Moderna's market peaks in 2021 and tapers afterwards.\nValuation is a concern, too. While Moderna isn't pricey from a price-to-earnings perspective, most biotech stocks run into a brick wall when they hit six or seven times peak annual sales. Moderna is a bit above that level, as of this past weekend. While I'm not inclined to believe that $83 is a realistic price target in the near term, I do believe it's time to book profits on Moderna considering the uncertain competitive landscape and its lack of approved therapies beyond mRNA-1273.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nShopify: Implied decline of 50%\nYour eyes are not deceiving you -- that really says Shopify (NYSE:SHOP). Although the cloud-based e-commerce platform is a favorite among growth stock investors, one Wall Street analyst isn't a fan. The low-water analyst target of $825 would represent an implied decline in Shopify's stock of 50%.\nThe most logical reason for Wall Street analysts to be skeptical of Shopify's upside would be its valuation. I know, \"growth stocks always trade at premiums!\" However, Shopify's premium is pushing some boundaries.\nSporting a $205 billion market cap, the company is now valued at 46 times estimated sales for 2021 and 35 times projected sales for 2022. For some context here, Shopify ended 2015 through 2018 at 11 to 16 times sales and has averaged a revenue multiple of 28 over the past five years.\nTo boot, even though Shopify is profitable on a recurring basis, it has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of almost 330. Again, there's some leeway given to hypergrowth stocks on the valuation front, but Shopify is certainly pushing those traditional boundaries.\nOn the other hand, Shopify has proved it's an absolute e-commerce beast. We were already witnessing businesses transitioning online and into the cloud long before the pandemic. However, COVID-19 pushed this trend into overdrive.\nDuring the first quarter, 137% growth in merchant-solutions revenue ultimately pushed the gross merchandise volume (GMV) traversing its platform up 114% from the prior-year period. While triple-digit GMV growth likely isn't sustainable, Shopify seems a good bet to increase its share of e-commerce activity in the U.S.\nShopify has landed some pretty big names as clients, too. Both Walmart and Pinterest are on board, and the company saw partner referrals up 73% at the end of March, compared to the prior-year period.\nWhile I can support the idea that Shopify's upside may be limited in the near term, I don't believe Wall Street's most-pessimistic price target of $825 is in the cards.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAMC Entertainment: Implied decline of 97%\nOn the other end of the spectrum is the popular meme stock, movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC). Every single Wall Street analyst covering the company sees significant downside in shares of AMC, from the most optimistic analyst at B. Riley, whose price target of $16 implies 57% downside, to the most pessimistic at MKM Partners, which has a $1 price target on the company, implying a decline of up to 97%.\nUnlike Shopify, which looks to have a bright future, AMC's most bearish price target may eventually become a reality. That's because none of the data surrounding AMC adds up.\nFollowing multiple rounds of capital raises, AMC likely had in the neighborhood of $2.2 billion in cash during the second quarter. Keep in mind that, with the company losing a lot of money at the moment, this $2.2 billion will continue to dwindle throughout 2021.\nThe bigger issue, though, is the $5.4 billion in debt that'll need to be repaid in the coming years. Since AMC has effectively maxed out its share issuances, and its army of retail investors keeps denying CEO Adam Aron the opportunity to raise additional capital, all future debt repayments will need to be in cash. With interest expenses doubling and the company $473 million in arrears on its rent, there's pretty much no way AMC meets its debt obligations based on its current trajectory.

After all, even I started to get convinced with the “apes together strong” mantra. No, I’m not scouring social media for ideas. However, I thought it wasn’t completely unrealistic that the crowd could convince others to pile into the equity unit.</p>\n<p>Alas, it seems like the magic carpet ride in AMC stock is coming to an end. While I’m not going to speak with absolute conviction, its technical posture does not look appealing. Take it from someone who has a clear financial interest in the cineplex operator – from an ethical and objective point-of-view, I cannot say that the long trade isn’t without serious risks.</p>\n<p><b>A Personal Take on AMC Stock</b></p>\n<p>Recently, I decided to see for myself what the return to normal looks like as a moviegoing customer. I watched what is one of the most anticipated films this year,<i>Black Widow</i>, at a local AMC Theatres.</p>\n<p>Aside from the conspicuous signs of mitigation requests – hand sanitizer stations, for instance – most things looked normal. From what I could tell, the concession stand was fully open: you just go and order your food like you did before the pandemic. Apparently, some cineplex operators use a mobile-app-based pickup service but I did not observe that during my visit.</p>\n<p>About the only thing that was a little bit off in terms of service was that some employees seemed rusty, which is completely understandable. In a way, we’re all trying to figure this out together so there’s no need for a nasty<b>Yelp</b>(NYSE:<b><u>YELP</u></b>) review.</p>\n<p>But the main problem I see moving forward for AMC stock is the underlying consumer demand. Granted, this is my personal observation – and I will get to the hard facts shortly. But when I went to visit on a Friday night, the crowd was buzzing but only in the context of the post-pandemic paradigm. Compared against pre-pandemic norms, it was noticeably dead.</p>\n<p>That’s a major concern for AMC stock because I went to watch a<b>Disney</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DIS</u></b>) film based off its Marvel Studios franchise. If there’s anything that should bring in the crowds, it would be<i>Black Widow</i>. You have two very relevant, A-list celebrities leading the charge under a brand that continues to churn out hit after hit.</p>\n<p>Plus, society has been starved for social experiences following the novel coronavirus-fueled lockdowns, sparking “revenge shopping” or the explosion of consumer spending after being denied for a one-year period.</p>\n<p>It just wasn’t happening this time around.</p>\n<p><b>Is the Nature of Cinema Changing?</b></p>\n<p>Could it just be I just happened to watch at a dead time in the cinematic calendar? Absolutely. It doesn’t help that I don’t live in the biggest market. As well, you should never base your investment decision on a single person’s anecdotal observation.</p>\n<p>But what’s an absolute fact is that the cineplex industry needs to start shifting into higher gear soon if wants to get back to the old normal or at least a sustainable normal.</p>\n<p>According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, during the domestic opening weekend (July 9 through July 11),<i>Black Widow</i>generated only $80.4 million. That’s a great figure for the post-pandemic paradigm. However, compared to 2019’s release of<i>Avengers: Endgame</i>– which included the Black Widow character – $80 million is a drop in the bucket. On<i>Avengers</i>domestic opening weekend, ithauled in over $357 million.</p>\n<p>By the way, for the global opening, the latter flickgrossed $1.2 billion.</p>\n<p>Moving forward, the question for AMC stock is, will Hollywood succeed in bringing people back to the big screen? I didn’t think I’d say this but I’m getting skeptical. Look, we’re not talking about some indie art house film centered on the social uprising in 1968 in Paris, France. Instead,<i>Black Widow</i>is a marquee blockbuster – a type of movie that would convince even<b>Netflix</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NFLX</u></b>) zombies to get off their couch.</p>\n<p><b>Bottom Line</b></p>\n<p>But for right now, it seems the comeback narrative is struggling. Unless you’re a speculator, I’d pass on AMC stock. And don’t let my ownership of it trip you up. Again, I’m playing with house money. You might not be.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>If Blockbusters Can’t Save AMC Entertainment, What Will?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIf Blockbusters Can’t Save AMC Entertainment, What Will?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-21 15:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/07/if-blockbusters-cant-save-amc-stock-what-will/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Slow moviegoing demand poses concerns for AMC stock.\n\nIf I were to personally thank the meme-trading community for something, it would be for bailing me out of my position in AMC Entertainment (NYSE:...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/07/if-blockbusters-cant-save-amc-stock-what-will/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMC":"AMC院线"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/07/if-blockbusters-cant-save-amc-stock-what-will/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1188370329","content_text":"Slow moviegoing demand poses concerns for AMC stock.\n\nIf I were to personally thank the meme-trading community for something, it would be for bailing me out of my position in AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock.\nSource: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com\nI never thought that I would be whole again, let alone make a profit on AMC stock.

However, I thought it wasn’t completely unrealistic that the crowd could convince others to pile into the equity unit.\nAlas, it seems like the magic carpet ride in AMC stock is coming to an end. While I’m not going to speak with absolute conviction, its technical posture does not look appealing. Take it from someone who has a clear financial interest in the cineplex operator – from an ethical and objective point-of-view, I cannot say that the long trade isn’t without serious risks.\nA Personal Take on AMC Stock\nRecently, I decided to see for myself what the return to normal looks like as a moviegoing customer. I watched what is one of the most anticipated films this year,Black Widow, at a local AMC Theatres.\nAside from the conspicuous signs of mitigation requests – hand sanitizer stations, for instance – most things looked normal. From what I could tell, the concession stand was fully open: you just go and order your food like you did before the pandemic. Apparently, some cineplex operators use a mobile-app-based pickup service but I did not observe that during my visit.\nAbout the only thing that was a little bit off in terms of service was that some employees seemed rusty, which is completely understandable. In a way, we’re all trying to figure this out together so there’s no need for a nastyYelp(NYSE:YELP) review.\nBut the main problem I see moving forward for AMC stock is the underlying consumer demand. Granted, this is my personal observation – and I will get to the hard facts shortly. But when I went to visit on a Friday night, the crowd was buzzing but only in the context of the post-pandemic paradigm. Compared against pre-pandemic norms, it was noticeably dead.\nThat’s a major concern for AMC stock because I went to watch aDisney(NYSE:DIS) film based off its Marvel Studios franchise. If there’s anything that should bring in the crowds, it would beBlack Widow. You have two very relevant, A-list celebrities leading the charge under a brand that continues to churn out hit after hit.\nPlus, society has been starved for social experiences following the novel coronavirus-fueled lockdowns, sparking “revenge shopping” or the explosion of consumer spending after being denied for a one-year period.\nIt just wasn’t happening this time around.\nIs the Nature of Cinema Changing?\nCould it just be I just happened to watch at a dead time in the cinematic calendar? Absolutely. It doesn’t help that I don’t live in the biggest market. As well, you should never base your investment decision on a single person’s anecdotal observation.\nBut what’s an absolute fact is that the cineplex industry needs to start shifting into higher gear soon if wants to get back to the old normal or at least a sustainable normal.\nAccording to BoxOfficeMojo.com, during the domestic opening weekend (July 9 through July 11),Black Widowgenerated only $80.4 million. That’s a great figure for the post-pandemic paradigm. However, compared to 2019’s release ofAvengers: Endgame– which included the Black Widow character – $80 million is a drop in the bucket. OnAvengersdomestic opening weekend, ithauled in over $357 million.\nBy the way, for the global opening, the latter flickgrossed $1.2 billion.\nMoving forward, the question for AMC stock is, will Hollywood succeed in bringing people back to the big screen? I didn’t think I’d say this but I’m getting skeptical. Look, we’re not talking about some indie art house film centered on the social uprising in 1968 in Paris, France. Instead,Black Widowis a marquee blockbuster – a type of movie that would convince evenNetflix(NASDAQ:NFLX) zombies to get off their couch.\nBottom Line\nBut for right now, it seems the comeback narrative is struggling. Unless you’re a speculator, I’d pass on AMC stock. And don’t let my ownership of it trip you up. Again, I’m playing with house money. You might not be.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":143,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":170459655,"gmtCreate":1626447099077,"gmtModify":1703760436058,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"FUD lol","listText":"FUD lol","text":"FUD lol","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/170459655","repostId":"2151450981","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2151450981","pubTimestamp":1626442140,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2151450981?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-16 21:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"It's Game Over for AMC, but These Stocks Can Still Go to the Moon","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2151450981","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Retail investors looking for businesses with tangible growth prospects should consider buying this trio of companies.","content":"<p>When 2021 comes to a close, it'll undoubtedly be remembered for the way retail investors made their presence known on Wall Street.

If you allow your investment thesis to play out, all three of the following stocks can blast off.</p>\n<h2>Sea Limited</h2>\n<p>Don't let anyone tell you large-cap stocks can't go to the moon. Despite its seemingly lofty $144 billion market cap, Singapore-based <b>Sea Limited</b> (NYSE:SE) has three rapidly growing operating segments that could make investors rich.</p>\n<p>For the moment, Sea is generating all of its positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from its gaming division. The popularity of Sea's mobile games, coupled with the pandemic keeping more people in their homes, pushed the company's quarterly active users higher by 61% in the first quarter to 649 million. More importantly, 12.3% of these users were paying to play, which is considerably higher than the industry average.</p>\n<p>Over the long run, e-commerce platform Shopee is what'll generate the most buzz. For example, the $12.6 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV) that was purchased on Shopee in Q1 2021 handily surpasses total GMV from all of 2018. Shopee is the most downloaded shopping app in Southeast Asia, and it's quickly gaining traction in Brazil.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, Sea has a relatively nascent but fast-growing digital financial services segment. When the first quarter came to a close, it had more than 26 million paying mobile wallet customers. Since many of the emerging markets Sea operates in are somewhat underbanked, this digital financial services division could be a sneaky long-term growth driver.</p>\n<h2>Skillz</h2>\n<p>Another high-growth stock that could eventually go to the moon is esports and gaming company <b>Skillz</b> (NYSE:SKLZ).</p>\n<p>Admittedly, gaming is a highly competitive industry. Developing new games is a time-consuming and costly process, and there's no guarantee that a new game will be well-received. It's for all of these reasons that Skillz didn't go the traditional development route. Rather, it operates a gaming platform that allows players to compete against each other for cash prizes. Maintaining this platform doesn't cost an arm and a leg (gross margin has consistently been 95%), and both Skillz and gaming developers get to keep a cut of the cash prizes.</p>\n<p>When the first quarter came to a close, Skillz had approximately 467,000 monthly active users (MAUs) that were paying to pay on its platform. That's 17% of its MAU base. According to Wappier Gaming Apps, the conversion rate for paying gamers ranged from 1.6% to 2% in 2020. In other words, Skillz is converting casual gamers to paying members at a considerably higher rate than other gaming companies.</p>\n<p>Skillz also has an incredibly lucrative partnership in its back pocket. In February, it signed a multiyear agreement with the National Football League (NFL). Football is the most popular sport by a long shot in the U.S. The expectation is that we'll see NFL-themed games and competitions hitting the platform by no later than 2022.</p>\n<p>Though Skillz is likely to lose money through 2022 as it beefs up marketing, its insane growth potential and potentially lucrative margins can't be overlooked.</p>\n<h2>Trulieve Cannabis</h2>\n<p>A final stock that can go to the moon is U.S. marijuana stock <b>Trulieve Cannabis</b> (OTC:TCNNF). According to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFC.U\">New Frontier</a> Data, the U.S. pot industry could be generating north of $41 billion in annual sales by 2025.</p>\n<p>Whereas most U.S. multistate operators are angling to have a presence in as many legalized markets as possible, Trulieve has taken on a strategy that looked odd at first, but has paid off incredibly well. Of the 91 dispensaries it had open in early July, 85 of them were located in medical marijuana-legal Florida. By absolutely saturating the Sunshine State, Trulieve has effectively gobbled up around half of all dried cannabis flower and oils market share. At the same time, its marketing costs have been kept low, pushing the company to 13 consecutive quarters of profitability.</p>\n<p>But make no mistake about it, Trulieve does have aspirations of moving beyond Florida. For instance, it recently announced the largest U.S. cannabis acquisition in history -- a $2.1 billion all-stock deal to acquire multistate operator <b>Harvest Health &amp; Recreation</b> (OTC:HRVSF). Harvest has a focus on five states, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of which is Florida. This means Trulieve's presence in the Sunshine State will soon get even bigger.</p>\n<p>However, the real lure of this deal is the 15 dispensaries Harvest Health operates in its home market of Arizona, a state that legalized recreational weed in November. Trulieve shouldn't have any problem taking its Florida blueprint and applying it in other key markets. This gives it a good chance to go to the moon in the future.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>It's Game Over for AMC, but These Stocks Can Still Go to the Moon</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIt's Game Over for AMC, but These Stocks Can Still Go to the Moon\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-16 21:29 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/16/its-game-over-for-amc-these-stocks-can-go-to-moon/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>When 2021 comes to a close, it'll undoubtedly be remembered for the way retail investors made their presence known on Wall Street.

Even though retail investors have been putting their money to work in stocks for more than a century, their collective efforts have moved markets like never before in 2021.\nWithout getting too far into the weeds, they have been using social media platforms like Reddit as a staging ground to rally the troops and seek out stocks with very high levels of short interest. Retail investors have then been purchasing shares and out-of-the-money call options in order to effect a short squeeze -- when pessimists head for the exit at the same time. Short squeezes are quick-occurring events, but they can lead to eye-popping run-ups in the price of a stock.\nHowever, not all heavily short-sold stocks should be bought by investors. In many instances, a large short position exists because the underlying business model or industry is broken, or management is failing on multiple levels. The following five heavily short-sold stocks fit that bill, and they should all be avoided like the plague.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSundial Growers\nCanadian marijuana stock Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) has been a common target for short-sellers for over a year. Even with its minuscule $1 share price, almost 268 million shares were held short as of May 28. But there's a very good reason for folks to be pessimistic: Sundial's management team has been a disaster.\nBeginning in October 2020, management began raising capital to strengthen the company's balance sheet. Although all debts have now been paid off, the equity offerings have just kept coming. In the span of seven months and one week, the company's outstanding share count ballooned from 509 million to 1.86 billion. Existing shareholders have been buried by management's ill-advised capital raises, and with 1.86 billion shares outstanding, the company has virtually no chance of ever producing meaningful earnings per share.\nMaking matters worse, Sundial Growers' cannabis operations have gone up in smoke.

Betterment ran a survey between April 26 and May 3 that examined the rise of retail trading in so-called meme stocks such as AMC Entertainment    and GameStop Corp   , which soared dramatically in price and trading volume earlier this year as individual traders discussed them on social media sites.   Of 1,500 survey respondents, 91% said they received government stimulus checks aimed at helping the economy recover from COVID-19-related lockdowns, and 46% said they invested at least some of the latest checks, according to Betterment.    That was up from the 9% who said in a March 2020 survey that they would put at least some of the stimulus money towards investments, Betterment said.   In the latest survey, 750 people said they actively day traded and 49% of that group said they've been doing it for one to two years.    While 58% of the day traders said their goal was to make more money quickly, 43% also said they wanted entertainment to make up for the unavailability of hobbies such as sports, live music, social gatherings and gambling during COVID-19 lockdowns.

I tookone stab at itwith AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.(NYSE:AMC)a few weeks ago. I’m back for more, after reading two interesting pieces. As Isaac Newton said in 1676, “<i>If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.</i>” Now I’m no Isaac Newton. For one, I’m far better looking. But like Zeke – a nickname Isaac’s friends probably never used – I too stand on the shoulders of giants. In this case the shoulders of Jason Zweig, a wonderful financial markets writer for<i>The Wall Street Journal</i>, and John Brooks, author of “<i>Business Adventures</i>”, a book recommended by Bill Gates. I will quote liberally from both in this article, then draw the line for you to AMC.</p>\n<p><b>Investor vs. trader vs. speculator</b></p>\n<p>Jason Zweig graphically distinguished between these three types of stock buyers in hisJune 11, 2021<i>Wall Street Journal</i>column:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>Whenever you buy any financial asset because you have a hunch or just for kicks, or because somebody famous is hyping the heck out of it, or everybody else seems to be buying it too, you aren’t investing.You’re definitely a trader: someone who has just bought an asset. And you may be a speculator: someone who thinks other people will pay more for it than you did.”“An investor relies on internal sources of return: earnings, income, growth in the value of assets. A speculator counts on external sources of return: primarily whether somebody else will pay more, regardless of fundamental value.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>So why has AMC’s stock price been on a tear? I have one informal data source, namely the 300+ comments on my June 4 AMC article. Earnings, income, growth in the value of assets<i>never</i>came up. What did come up was “short squeeze” and stock charts. So I expect Mr. Zweig would describe AMC’s stock as driven by traders and speculators.</p>\n<p>Mr. Zweig also made me realize that my AMC article left out an earnings forecast. I gave lots of data on historic trends, which only implied a future direction. I correct that omission here.</p>\n<p><b>A 2022 AMC earnings forecast</b></p>\n<p>I start with the key assumptions:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f5311cb0ff00c046d122c2c84fc3aea\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"168\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><i>My time frame for reference</i>&nbsp;is 2017 to 2019.

What will box office be next year? The steady growth in streaming, both in subscribers and content, certainly is a headwind. And COVID logically should increase the shift from offsite (theater) entertainment to home entertainment, as it has for shopping and working. Holding movie attendance near its ’19 level would be a minor miracle. A 10%, or even a 20%, decline is far more likely. As you can see in the table above, I make 2022 AMC EPS forecasts using all three box office assumptions.</p>\n<p><b><i>AMC market share.</i></b>I assume a share increase from AMC’s ’17-’19 level because some competing theaters must have dropped out because of COVID financial pressures.</p>\n<p><b><i>Admissions gross margin.</i></b>This is the profit from ticket sales less the cost of licensing movies from their producers.

One, these operating expenses are largely fixed, and revenues will be under pressure. Second, it seems logical that the current labor shortage will pressure pay levels for low-end theater jobs.</p>\n<p>We’re now ready for my earnings and cash flow models:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b8a5ce8ad10adb3336126cdb0a5e598\" tg-width=\"537\" tg-height=\"497\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The ’22 forecasts are set by the assumptions above through the “gross profit” line.

The best-case scenario I can see for 2022 EPS is roughly breakeven. More likely is a modest loss. Cash flow should be somewhat worse, because the cash capital spending needed by AMC to keep its theaters attractive to a shrinking audience should exceed its non-cash depreciation/amortization expenses. If capital spending is much lower than I forecast, it is probably because AMC management is conceding that it is in a death spiral and wants to milk what cash it can.</p>\n<p><i>The bottom line - no support for investors.</i>AMC’s book value is negative. It appears incapable of earning any material money post-COVID. Its business is in long-term decline due to technology changes, and its new competitors are monster companies – Netflix, Disney, Comcast, etc. – with huge resources. An investor can only look at AMC’s current $55 stock price and with a shudder say, in the immortal words of<i>Trading Places</i>, “Sell Mortimer, sell!”</p>\n<p><b>The speculative play - a short squeeze: A historical cautionary tale</b></p>\n<p>Millennials did not invent the short squeeze. It has been around almost as long financial markets have existed. The book<i>Business Adventures</i>by John Brooks<i>,</i>published way back in 1969, tells a vivid tale of a short squeeze even farther back, in the early 1920s. Literally a century ago. I’m going to quote from the book to suggest how the story ends for speculations with no investor support. So pour yourself some illegal hooch (we’re heading to the Prohibition Era) and read on. This is the story of Clarence Saunders, the founder of Piggly Wiggly Stores, the first supermarket; the Amazon of his day.</p>\n<p>Shorts went after Clarence’s stock in 1922, driving it from $50 to below $40. Saunders vowed revenge with a short squeeze. Here are excerpts of Mr. Brooks’ recounting of the story:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>Saunders…bought 33,000 shares of Piggly Wiggly, mostly from short sellers; within a week he had brought the total to 105,000 – more than half of the 200,000 shares outstanding. The effectiveness of Saunders’ buying campaign was readily apparent; by late January of 1923 it had driven he price up over $60…</i>”\n</blockquote>\n<p>The sole short squeezer of yore has been replaced by herds of “apes” today, and the apes have been far better in driving up prices. By the way, believe it or not, a group of apes is apparently called a “shrewdness”. A group of apes is shrewd – interesting.</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>He had made himself a bundle and had demonstrated how a poor Southern boy could teach the city slickers a lesson.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Today we have apes sticking it to hedge funds.</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>One of the great hazards in the Corner was always that even though a player might defeat his opponents, he would discover that he had won a Pyrrhic victory. Once the short sellers had been squeezed dry, the cornerer might find that the reams of stock he had accumulated in the process were a dead weight around his neck; by pushing it all back into the market, he would drive its price down to zero.</i>”\n</blockquote>\n<p>Something to think about. What was Saunders to do?</p>\n<blockquote>\n “[\n <i>Saunders’] solution was to sell his $55 shares on the installment plan. In his February advertisements, he stipulated that the public could buy shares only by paying $25 down and the balance in three $10 installments</i>.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>Pretty clever, no? No:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>At the end of the third day, the total number of shares subscribed for was still under 25,000, and the sales that were made were canceled. Saunders had to admit that the drive had been a failure.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Uh oh. What now?</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“On August 22nd, the New York auction firm of Adrian H. Muller &amp; Son…knocked down 1,500 shares of Piggly Wiggly at $1 a share…The following spring Saunders went through formal bankruptcy proceedings.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Ouch.</p>\n<p><b>Buyers beware</b></p>\n<p>As Jason Zweig noted above, speculators depend upon finding a buyer at a higher price. Today’s holders of AMC stock certainly have made life painful for many short sellers. But are there really enough new buyers to take out current shareholders above AMC’s present $28 billion market cap? Especially with the gravity of no earnings constantly weighing on the stock?</p>\n<p>AMC shareholders, don’t win Clarence Saunders’ Pyrrhic victory. Take your $55 a share and run. Fast. Before the other speculating holders do so first.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>AMC: Danger Signals For Investors And Speculators</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAMC: Danger Signals For Investors And Speculators\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-18 11:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435360-amc-stock-danger-signals-for-investors-and-speculators><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nI stand on the shoulder of giants to guide you on AMC.\nFor investors, the gravitational pull of no earning prospects provides little support to the stock.\nA century-old cautionary tale for ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435360-amc-stock-danger-signals-for-investors-and-speculators\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMC":"AMC院线"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435360-amc-stock-danger-signals-for-investors-and-speculators","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1131310015","content_text":"Summary\n\nI stand on the shoulder of giants to guide you on AMC.\nFor investors, the gravitational pull of no earning prospects provides little support to the stock.\nA century-old cautionary tale for speculators counting on a short squeeze.\nSell before the other speculators do.\n\nRgStudio/E+ via Getty Images\nWhat are we to make of the meme stock phenomena?

Here are excerpts of Mr. Brooks’ recounting of the story:\n\n “\n Saunders…bought 33,000 shares of Piggly Wiggly, mostly from short sellers; within a week he had brought the total to 105,000 – more than half of the 200,000 shares outstanding. The effectiveness of Saunders’ buying campaign was readily apparent; by late January of 1923 it had driven he price up over $60…”\n\nThe sole short squeezer of yore has been replaced by herds of “apes” today, and the apes have been far better in driving up prices. By the way, believe it or not, a group of apes is apparently called a “shrewdness”. A group of apes is shrewd – interesting.\n\n “\n He had made himself a bundle and had demonstrated how a poor Southern boy could teach the city slickers a lesson.”\n\nToday we have apes sticking it to hedge funds.\n\n “\n One of the great hazards in the Corner was always that even though a player might defeat his opponents, he would discover that he had won a Pyrrhic victory. Once the short sellers had been squeezed dry, the cornerer might find that the reams of stock he had accumulated in the process were a dead weight around his neck; by pushing it all back into the market, he would drive its price down to zero.”\n\nSomething to think about. What was Saunders to do?\n\n “[\n Saunders’] solution was to sell his $55 shares on the installment plan. In his February advertisements, he stipulated that the public could buy shares only by paying $25 down and the balance in three $10 installments.”\n\nPretty clever, no? No:\n\n “\n At the end of the third day, the total number of shares subscribed for was still under 25,000, and the sales that were made were canceled. Saunders had to admit that the drive had been a failure.”\n\nUh oh. What now?\n\n“On August 22nd, the New York auction firm of Adrian H. Muller & Son…knocked down 1,500 shares of Piggly Wiggly at $1 a share…The following spring Saunders went through formal bankruptcy proceedings.”\n\nOuch.\nBuyers beware\nAs Jason Zweig noted above, speculators depend upon finding a buyer at a higher price. Today’s holders of AMC stock certainly have made life painful for many short sellers. But are there really enough new buyers to take out current shareholders above AMC’s present $28 billion market cap? Especially with the gravity of no earnings constantly weighing on the stock?\nAMC shareholders, don’t win Clarence Saunders’ Pyrrhic victory. Take your $55 a share and run. Fast. Before the other speculating holders do so first.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":469,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161391744,"gmtCreate":1623903848888,"gmtModify":1703823128095,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"HODL Guys!!!

Following the coronavirus crash, we've been privy to the strongest bounce-back rally from a bear market bottom in history. But just because Wall Street remains optimistic on the market as a whole, it doesn't mean that every stock will participate in the rally.</p>\n<p>For each of the following three ultra-popular stocks, the lowest price target from an analyst on Wall Street implies downside ranging from 50% to as much as 97%! The question is, are these bearish projections achievable or far too negative? Let's take a closer look.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dec27061af0ee8f4d3a52b5cac0b883b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Moderna: Implied decline of 76%</h2>\n<p>First up is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the absolute hottest stocks since the end of 2019, biotech stock <b>Moderna</b> (NASDAQ:MRNA). Taking into account Moderna's insane run over the past two weeks, shares are up almost 1,700% since the end of 2019. Yet according to the lowest price target on Wall Street of $83, Moderna has the potential to shed 76% of its value.</p>\n<p>As you may be well aware, Moderna's popularity stems from its work in developing a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. This two-dose treatment, known as mRNA-1273, produced a vaccine effectiveness of just over 94% in late-stage clinical trials, which was the catalyst that allowed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to grant it emergency-use authorization (EUA).</p>\n<p>With Moderna aiming to have between 800 million and 1 billion doses produced this year, the company believes it'll top $19 billion in annual sales. For some context, this'll make mRNA-1273 the third best-selling drug in the world, behind only <b>AbbVie</b>'s anti-inflammatory Humira and the <b>Pfizer</b>/<b>BioNTech</b>&nbsp;COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2. Moderna will also be wildly profitable in 2021, with Wall Street's consensus estimate calling for $24.57 in earnings per share, or nearly $9.9 billion.</p>\n<p>However, Moderna isn't alone on the vaccine front. It's contending with Pfizer/BioNTech, the one-shot <b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>&nbsp;vaccine, which has EUA in the U.S. and Europe, <b>AstraZeneca</b>'s two-dose vaccine, and the strong likelihood that <b>Novavax</b>&nbsp;will be granted EUA for its COVID-19 vaccine, which produced roughly 90% vaccine efficacy in two large-scale studies. It's quite possible Moderna's market peaks in 2021 and tapers afterwards.</p>\n<p>Valuation is a concern, too. While Moderna isn't pricey from a price-to-earnings perspective, most biotech stocks run into a brick wall when they hit six or seven times peak annual sales. Moderna is a bit above that level, as of this past weekend. While I'm not inclined to believe that $83 is a realistic price target in the near term, I do believe it's time to book profits on Moderna considering the uncertain competitive landscape and its lack of approved therapies beyond mRNA-1273.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16ca48e46c5ed915bdfaeb115d44e553\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Shopify: Implied decline of 50%</h2>\n<p>Your eyes are not deceiving you -- that really says <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP). Although the cloud-based e-commerce platform is a favorite among growth stock investors, one Wall Street analyst isn't a fan. The low-water analyst target of $825 would represent an implied decline in Shopify's stock of 50%.</p>\n<p>The most logical reason for Wall Street analysts to be skeptical of Shopify's upside would be its valuation. I know, \"growth stocks always trade at premiums!\" However, Shopify's premium is pushing some boundaries.</p>\n<p>Sporting a $205 billion market cap, the company is now valued at 46 times estimated sales for 2021 and 35 times projected sales for 2022. For some context here, Shopify ended 2015 through 2018 at 11 to 16 times sales and has averaged a revenue multiple of 28 over the past five years.</p>\n<p>To boot, even though Shopify is profitable on a recurring basis, it has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of almost 330. Again, there's some leeway given to hypergrowth stocks on the valuation front, but Shopify is certainly pushing those traditional boundaries.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Shopify has proved it's an absolute e-commerce beast. We were already witnessing businesses transitioning online and into the cloud long before the pandemic. However, COVID-19 pushed this trend into overdrive.</p>\n<p>During the first quarter, 137% growth in merchant-solutions revenue ultimately pushed the gross merchandise volume (GMV) traversing its platform up 114% from the prior-year period. While triple-digit GMV growth likely isn't sustainable, Shopify seems a good bet to increase its share of e-commerce activity in the U.S.</p>\n<p>Shopify has landed some pretty big names as clients, too. Both <b>Walmart</b>&nbsp;and <b>Pinterest</b>&nbsp;are on board, and the company saw partner referrals up 73% at the end of March, compared to the prior-year period.</p>\n<p>While I can support the idea that Shopify's upside may be limited in the near term, I don't believe Wall Street's most-pessimistic price target of $825 is in the cards.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c6cb4d9fcdf85f542f333fc71a2dd58\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>AMC Entertainment: Implied decline of 97%</h2>\n<p>On the other end of the spectrum is the popular meme stock, movie-theater chain <b>AMC Entertainment</b> (NYSE:AMC). Every single Wall Street analyst covering the company sees significant downside in shares of AMC, from the most optimistic analyst at B. Riley, whose price target of $16 implies 57% downside, to the most pessimistic at MKM Partners, which has a $1 price target on the company, implying a decline of up to 97%.</p>\n<p>Unlike Shopify, which looks to have a bright future, AMC's most bearish price target may eventually become a reality. That's because none of the data surrounding AMC adds up.</p>\n<p>Following multiple rounds of capital raises, AMC likely had in the neighborhood of $2.2 billion in cash during the second quarter. Keep in mind that, with the company losing a lot of money at the moment, this $2.2 billion will continue to dwindle throughout 2021.</p>\n<p>The bigger issue, though, is the $5.4 billion in debt that'll need to be repaid in the coming years. Since AMC has effectively maxed out its share issuances, and its army of retail investors keeps denying CEO Adam Aron the opportunity to raise additional capital, all future debt repayments will need to be in cash. With interest expenses doubling and the company $473 million in arrears on its rent, there's pretty much no way AMC meets its debt obligations based on its current trajectory. The company's plummeting 2026 and 2027 bond prices indicate bankruptcy is a very real possibility.</p>\n<p>The allegations of institutional/hedge fund wrongdoing from AMC's impassioned retail investors also doesn't add up. Despite these folks implying that nefarious activity is present via failure to deliver, dark pools, and short-selling, none of it has ever been substantiated.

Following the coronavirus crash, we've been privy to the strongest bounce-back rally from a bear market bottom in history. But just because Wall Street remains optimistic on the market as a whole, it doesn't mean that every stock will participate in the rally.\nFor each of the following three ultra-popular stocks, the lowest price target from an analyst on Wall Street implies downside ranging from 50% to as much as 97%! The question is, are these bearish projections achievable or far too negative? Let's take a closer look.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nModerna: Implied decline of 76%\nFirst up is one of the absolute hottest stocks since the end of 2019, biotech stock Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA). Taking into account Moderna's insane run over the past two weeks, shares are up almost 1,700% since the end of 2019. Yet according to the lowest price target on Wall Street of $83, Moderna has the potential to shed 76% of its value.\nAs you may be well aware, Moderna's popularity stems from its work in developing a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. This two-dose treatment, known as mRNA-1273, produced a vaccine effectiveness of just over 94% in late-stage clinical trials, which was the catalyst that allowed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to grant it emergency-use authorization (EUA).\nWith Moderna aiming to have between 800 million and 1 billion doses produced this year, the company believes it'll top $19 billion in annual sales. For some context, this'll make mRNA-1273 the third best-selling drug in the world, behind only AbbVie's anti-inflammatory Humira and the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2. Moderna will also be wildly profitable in 2021, with Wall Street's consensus estimate calling for $24.57 in earnings per share, or nearly $9.9 billion.\nHowever, Moderna isn't alone on the vaccine front. It's contending with Pfizer/BioNTech, the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which has EUA in the U.S. and Europe, AstraZeneca's two-dose vaccine, and the strong likelihood that Novavax will be granted EUA for its COVID-19 vaccine, which produced roughly 90% vaccine efficacy in two large-scale studies. It's quite possible Moderna's market peaks in 2021 and tapers afterwards.\nValuation is a concern, too. While Moderna isn't pricey from a price-to-earnings perspective, most biotech stocks run into a brick wall when they hit six or seven times peak annual sales. Moderna is a bit above that level, as of this past weekend. While I'm not inclined to believe that $83 is a realistic price target in the near term, I do believe it's time to book profits on Moderna considering the uncertain competitive landscape and its lack of approved therapies beyond mRNA-1273.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nShopify: Implied decline of 50%\nYour eyes are not deceiving you -- that really says Shopify (NYSE:SHOP). Although the cloud-based e-commerce platform is a favorite among growth stock investors, one Wall Street analyst isn't a fan. The low-water analyst target of $825 would represent an implied decline in Shopify's stock of 50%.\nThe most logical reason for Wall Street analysts to be skeptical of Shopify's upside would be its valuation. I know, \"growth stocks always trade at premiums!\" However, Shopify's premium is pushing some boundaries.\nSporting a $205 billion market cap, the company is now valued at 46 times estimated sales for 2021 and 35 times projected sales for 2022. For some context here, Shopify ended 2015 through 2018 at 11 to 16 times sales and has averaged a revenue multiple of 28 over the past five years.\nTo boot, even though Shopify is profitable on a recurring basis, it has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of almost 330. Again, there's some leeway given to hypergrowth stocks on the valuation front, but Shopify is certainly pushing those traditional boundaries.\nOn the other hand, Shopify has proved it's an absolute e-commerce beast. We were already witnessing businesses transitioning online and into the cloud long before the pandemic. However, COVID-19 pushed this trend into overdrive.\nDuring the first quarter, 137% growth in merchant-solutions revenue ultimately pushed the gross merchandise volume (GMV) traversing its platform up 114% from the prior-year period. While triple-digit GMV growth likely isn't sustainable, Shopify seems a good bet to increase its share of e-commerce activity in the U.S.\nShopify has landed some pretty big names as clients, too. Both Walmart and Pinterest are on board, and the company saw partner referrals up 73% at the end of March, compared to the prior-year period.\nWhile I can support the idea that Shopify's upside may be limited in the near term, I don't believe Wall Street's most-pessimistic price target of $825 is in the cards.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAMC Entertainment: Implied decline of 97%\nOn the other end of the spectrum is the popular meme stock, movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC). Every single Wall Street analyst covering the company sees significant downside in shares of AMC, from the most optimistic analyst at B. Riley, whose price target of $16 implies 57% downside, to the most pessimistic at MKM Partners, which has a $1 price target on the company, implying a decline of up to 97%.\nUnlike Shopify, which looks to have a bright future, AMC's most bearish price target may eventually become a reality. That's because none of the data surrounding AMC adds up.\nFollowing multiple rounds of capital raises, AMC likely had in the neighborhood of $2.2 billion in cash during the second quarter. Keep in mind that, with the company losing a lot of money at the moment, this $2.2 billion will continue to dwindle throughout 2021.\nThe bigger issue, though, is the $5.4 billion in debt that'll need to be repaid in the coming years. Since AMC has effectively maxed out its share issuances, and its army of retail investors keeps denying CEO Adam Aron the opportunity to raise additional capital, all future debt repayments will need to be in cash. With interest expenses doubling and the company $473 million in arrears on its rent, there's pretty much no way AMC meets its debt obligations based on its current trajectory. The company's plummeting 2026 and 2027 bond prices indicate bankruptcy is a very real possibility.\nThe allegations of institutional/hedge fund wrongdoing from AMC's impassioned retail investors also doesn't add up. Despite these folks implying that nefarious activity is present via failure to deliver, dark pools, and short-selling, none of it has ever been substantiated. It's been my contention for weeks that social-media-driven misinformation from its retail investors has been the driving force behind this stock.\nAlthough it's not going to go down in a straight line, AMC is very likely going to be walked back to the mid-single digits within the next six months to two years. There's also zero guarantee that it'll survive the next five years. That makes it a stock worth avoiding at all costs.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":286,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3576260758860416","authorId":"3576260758860416","name":"andrew123","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f2a1eaba26272212d42018e60e78b422","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3576260758860416","authorIdStr":"3576260758860416"},"content":"they dont have to cover short now. once -ve news out like bankruptcy price will tumble 90pc than can cover position. be cautious . a good example is the 3 famous stk in spore many yrs back.","text":"they dont have to cover short now. once -ve news out like bankruptcy price will tumble 90pc than can cover position. be cautious . a good example is the 3 famous stk in spore many yrs back.","html":"they dont have to cover short now. once -ve news out like bankruptcy price will tumble 90pc than can cover position. be cautious . a good example is the 3 famous stk in spore many yrs back."}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":114961597,"gmtCreate":1623042954919,"gmtModify":1704194908337,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578782731604671","authorIdStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"While the fundamentals don't give the rosiest of pictures, the fact is that AMC is headed by a strong leader and it raised a substantial amount after the latest share offering.&nbsp;","listText":"While the fundamentals don't give the rosiest of pictures, the fact is that AMC is headed by a strong leader and it raised a substantial amount after the latest share offering.&nbsp;","text":"While the fundamentals don't give the rosiest of pictures, the fact is that AMC is headed by a strong leader and it raised a substantial amount after the latest share offering.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/114961597","repostId":"2141299286","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2141299286","pubTimestamp":1623035520,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2141299286?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-07 11:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Now the Time to Sell AMC Entertainment Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2141299286","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The movie theater operator has the potential to make an impressive comeback -- but not for the reason you might think.","content":"<p>Over the past year, the iconic theater chain <b>AMC Entertainment Holdings </b>(NYSE:AMC) has won over the hearts and souls of WallStreetBets traders.

But there is something that even prudent investors are missing.&nbsp;</p><p>With a $25 billion market cap, AMC only has to issue 22% more shares to raise cash to pay off its entire debt balance. That's right: The company has the potential to do a \"soft reset\" and start afresh. The returns would be immediate, as after closing, it would no longer have to pay $151.5 million per quarter in interest. In the first quarter of 2021, the company's interest expense outweighed its total revenue.</p><p>Not only would its profit margins increase, but it could also use new cash to increase its theater count, upgrade its recliner seats and big screens, introduce dine-in restaurants at its locations, and more. Since there is still a lot of demand from retail investors at these levels, I don't think it would have trouble finding buyers for the offering, either.</p><p>In fact, the company did just that on June 3. AMC sold 11.5 million shares of stock hours after announcing the offering, raising $587.4 million in much-needed cash. The stock fell by more than 30% from the previous day's close before recovering. Investors should continue to expect further dilutions ahead, as the new capital is still not enough for a soft reset of its liabilities.</p><p>Overall, AMC stock is very overvalued at these levels. But thanks to the help of 10.3 million traders/followers/influencers of WallStreetBets, the company now has the option to refinance or eliminate its crippling liabilities. If the share price comes down to something more reasonable (say, $20), I'd definitely give the new AMC a chance. For now, check out these alternatives instead.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Now the Time to Sell AMC Entertainment Stock?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIs Now the Time to Sell AMC Entertainment Stock?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-07 11:12 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/06/is-now-the-time-to-sell-amc-entertainment-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Over the past year, the iconic theater chain AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC) has won over the hearts and souls of WallStreetBets traders.

But there is something that even prudent investors are missing. With a $25 billion market cap, AMC only has to issue 22% more shares to raise cash to pay off its entire debt balance. That's right: The company has the potential to do a \"soft reset\" and start afresh. The returns would be immediate, as after closing, it would no longer have to pay $151.5 million per quarter in interest. In the first quarter of 2021, the company's interest expense outweighed its total revenue.Not only would its profit margins increase, but it could also use new cash to increase its theater count, upgrade its recliner seats and big screens, introduce dine-in restaurants at its locations, and more. Since there is still a lot of demand from retail investors at these levels, I don't think it would have trouble finding buyers for the offering, either.In fact, the company did just that on June 3. AMC sold 11.5 million shares of stock hours after announcing the offering, raising $587.4 million in much-needed cash. The stock fell by more than 30% from the previous day's close before recovering. Investors should continue to expect further dilutions ahead, as the new capital is still not enough for a soft reset of its liabilities.Overall, AMC stock is very overvalued at these levels. But thanks to the help of 10.3 million traders/followers/influencers of WallStreetBets, the company now has the option to refinance or eliminate its crippling liabilities. If the share price comes down to something more reasonable (say, $20), I'd definitely give the new AMC a chance. For now, check out these alternatives instead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":538,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3581985274026406","authorId":"3581985274026406","name":"Skai","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/895ee4bbfa814435328502a50bbee0a7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581985274026406","authorIdStr":"3581985274026406"},"content":"Yea.

At the close, AMC's market value stood at $28.17 billion, more than ViacomCBS(VIAC.O)and Kellogg(K.N), as well as fellow meme-stock GameStop(GME.N).In an apparent nod to the retail investors that have hyped the stock in forums such as Reddit’s popular WallStreetBets, AMC CEO Adam Aron on Wednesday announced an initiative that offered even the smallest shareholder a free large popcorn if they signed up to a regular newsletter.Among other so-called meme stocks - companies popular with a new generation of social media centric traders on WallStreetBets and other online forums - security software provider BlackBerry and headphone maker Koss Corp(KOSS.O)rose 31.1% and 68.6%, respectively.The massive rise in AMC's shares, which are up about 2,850% from just over $2 at the end of last year, is beginning to resemble the wild ride in shares of GameStop earlier this year.\"It's meme stock 2.0.,” said Steve Sosnick, Chief Strategist at Interactive Brokers.GameStop shares rose more than 1,600% in January, buoyed in part by bearish investors unwinding their bets against the heavily shorted stock in the face of a massive buying surge.'GAMMA SQUEEZE'Some of the upward price move in AMC is likely being driven by market makers buying up stock to hedge their exposure from selling options, an event known as a “gamma squeeze,” analysts said.\"People have learnt what tactics work under these insane circumstances. They are using a very similar play-book,\" Sosnick said.Call options that would pay off if the shares topped $73 by Friday were the most heavily trade AMC options on Wednesday, with about 233,000 contracts changing hands.With shares approaching that level, market makers who sold these and other similarly bullish contracts were left with no choice but to buy up AMC stock to hedge their own risk, thereby exacerbating the rise in the share price, analysts said.\"Market makers are just chasing the stock,\" said Matt Amberson, principal at options analytics firm ORATS.Wednesday’s near doubling of the stock price will likely test investors that have shorted AMC.

If AMC suffers a similar fate, the stock could be back down around $15.75 within a matter of weeks.\nVoices From The Street: Michael Batnick, Director of Research at Ritholtz Wealth Management,wrote in a blog post on Thursday about how the current AMC mania appears to be very similar to the mania that sent the stock soaring more than 800% in the first 17 days of 2021.\n“Buyers are just playing a game with tickers on a screen. The madness can continue as long as people think they can get out before the collapse,” Batnick wrote.\nDavid Trainer, CEO of New Constructs, didn’t pull any punches in discussing the true value of AMC shares this week.\n“The surge in shares of AMC Entertainment is yet another sign of the reckless meme stock-driven investing landscape that we find ourselves in today,” Trainer said. “We think AMC Entertainment's stock is worth $0 per share, given its weak earnings, dilution from recent stock offerings and mountain of debt.”\nThemis Trading's Joe Saluzzi told Benzinga the trading action in both AMC and GameStop in 2021 is a sign regulators need to step in.\n“During the ‘Gamestopped’ Congressional hearings, SEC Chairman Gensler indicated that the Commission would be publishing a report this summer on the volatile trading events that occurred in late January. Market participants are anxious to see this report, but it looks like the SEC may already need to update it to include the events of this week,” Saluzzi said.\nBenzinga’s Take:The social media narrative surrounding GameStop and AMC is that retail traders on Reddit and Robinhood are sticking it to big hedge funds by squeezing them out of their short positions. In reality, retail trading accounted for an estimated 11% of trading volume in AMC this week, whereas the majority of AMC’s trading volume came from dark pools, and large institutional block and sweep trades in both the stock and option markets.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":382,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3563586847469454","authorId":"3563586847469454","name":"jinvestmentj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d29b839c9decbb475e5d52227835dd3","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3563586847469454","authorIdStr":"3563586847469454"},"content":"reply

And that should give the millions of retail investors rooting for the success of AMC stock something to cheer about.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":90,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9955726981,"gmtCreate":1675780625344,"gmtModify":1675780627603,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578782731604671","authorIdStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","text":"$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9955726981","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":190,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9955487857,"gmtCreate":1675677231579,"gmtModify":1675677234855,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578782731604671","authorIdStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","text":"$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9955487857","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":426,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":170459655,"gmtCreate":1626447099077,"gmtModify":1703760436058,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578782731604671","authorIdStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"FUD lol","listText":"FUD lol","text":"FUD lol","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/170459655","repostId":"2151450981","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":185,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":133095892,"gmtCreate":1621665333216,"gmtModify":1704361267851,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578782731604671","authorIdStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Rebound!","listText":"Rebound!","text":"Rebound!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/133095892","repostId":"1111747453","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1111747453","pubTimestamp":1621609858,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1111747453?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 23:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla’s New Plaid Model Is Ready.
