On the trading days of Thursday, December 22, 2022 and Friday, December 23, 2022, the stock tickers of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC<\/a> and APE<\/a>), a holding company with movie theaters all over the world, posted daily returns which caught Wall Street’s attention. (See past coverage if needed: “What Caught Our Attention in the Investment World? – Week of June 1-4, 2021; By Kuldip K. Ambastha.”<\/a>) Specifically, AMC<\/a> (Class A equity) returned -7.4% on Thursday and -10.4% on Friday, while APE<\/a> (preferred equity) instead returned +75.2% on Thursday and 44.2% on Friday. A plan to raise $110 million in equity capital through APE<\/a> and also administer a 1-to-10 reverse stock split caused the bifurcation of daily returns seen here. Meme stock speculators in this case became bearish on AMC<\/a> and bullish on APE<\/a>, simultaneously, since AMC<\/a> will be diluted if a share conversion proposal to convert APE<\/a> shares into AMC<\/a> shares on a 1:1 basis is successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keywords – AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.<\/a>, AMC Entertainment Holdings<\/a>, AMC Entertainment<\/a>, AMC<\/a>, APE<\/a>, movie<\/a>, theater<\/a>, Class A<\/a>, preferred<\/a>, equity<\/a>, share<\/a>, stock<\/a>, conversion<\/a>, meme<\/a>, Reddit<\/a>, r\/WallStreetBets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Disclosure – The principals and clients of Ambastha Financial LLC have no positions in AMC<\/a> or APE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Disclaimer – No recommendations are being made via this post.
