Kohls på väg att bli ny memeaktie: Snackis på sociala medier
Småsparare på sociala medier har fått upp ögonen för detaljhandelsveteranen Kohls och satt rejäl fart på aktiekursen. Under dagen var aktien mest upp 105 procent, skriver Bloomberg som pekar ut bolaget som den senaste i raden av memeaktier på Wall Street.
– Allt beror på snack på sociala medier. Märk väl hur memeaktiernas glansdagar kännetecknades av nostalgi för bolag som Gamestop och AMC, säger Steve Sosnick på Interactive Brokers.
Liksom flera andra populära memeaktier är Kohls hårt blankad. Blankningsgraden uppgår till 48 procent av det handlade kapitalet.
Kohls stängde under tisdagen på plus 38 procent.
