Order flow for many of the meme stocks is tilted to the buy-side, according to noon-hour data from Fidelity. That’s a little surprising considering that the Nasdaq is trading down about 0.3% at the same time.
AMC Entertainment Holding Inc. (NYSE: AMC) reported quarterly results after markets closed Monday and beat both expected loss and revenue estimates. The bigger news is a deal with AT&T-owned WarnerMedia for a 45-day theater-only window. That means no competition from streaming services until the window closes.
Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. (NYSE: SPCE) had no news Tuesday, but the stock traded down sharply. There could be some pressure on the share price from significant put option open interest at $31 and $30. Check the tape at 4:01 p.m.
Vertex Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: VTNR) also beat top-line and bottom-line estimates for the second quarter. The company expects to close its $75 acquisition of a Mobile, Alabama, refinery from Shell in the fourth quarter and begin immediately on two capital projects with a total cost of $125 million. Vertex also noted that it is still talking to lenders for financing the purchase and expects to have one by the end of September. This may not be a good sign of things to come.
