InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
Redbox Entertainment (NASDAQ:RDBX) is in the news Thursday as the entertainment rental company’s stock performs well despite a weak market.
So what has shares of RDVX stock on the move today? The company has been listed as a top short-squeeze target this week and that’s likely attracted retail traders. That makes sense as Redbox has recently joined the ranks of other meme stocks.
The interest in Redbox stock has been increasing ever since Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (NASDAQ:CSSE) swooped in with an offer to acquire the company. It’s worth noting that CSSE was also listed among the top short-squeeze targets for this week.
To jump in price for Redbox today comes after it spent the rest of the week falling. It’s likely that day traders have been watching shares of RDBX stock for the right time to pump shares higher. It looks like that’s what’s happening today.
Adding credence to that idea is heavy trading of RDBX stock today. As of this writing, more than 22 million shares of the company’s stock have changed hands. That’s above the company’s daily average trading volume of about 21.7 million shares.
RDBX stock is up 12.7% as of Thursday afternoon and is up 2.7% since the start of the year.
