$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$ Bullish
Kia ora Tiger traders,
AMC Entertainment Holdings saw an 8% surge after trading was resumed. The stock was halted due to a Delaware court's decision to block the company's plan to convert its preferred equity units (APE) into common shares. This plan, opposed by common stockholders, aimed to raise capital by issuing new shares, which would have diluted existing shareholders' holdings. The halt and subsequent court ruling have significantly impacted the stock's price, leading to increased trading volume and a short squeeze, with 28% of AMC's shares shorted.
