- NYSE:AMC dropped by 7.75% on Monday as the downward spiral continues.
- Marvel’s Black Widow dominates at the box office and breaks pandemic records.
- AI-powered ETF surprisingly buys AMC after selling off some mega-cap winners.
Update July 13: AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE: AMC) has been suffering yet another down day, trading below $40 in Tuesday's session. This latest 6% drop sends shares of the movie-theater company down to the lowest since June 1 – just before it nearly doubled. Investors have dismissed upbeat weekend film sales and seem keen on extending the "meme stock massacre" that they embarked on. Substantial support on the daily chart awaits only at 32.04, the trough back then. Looking up, the upside target is $47.94, a high point before the recent slide.
NYSE:AMC shareholders couldn’t even be saved by the best weekend of ticket sales for theaters since before the pandemic started. On Monday, shares of AMC tumbled by 7.75% to close the trading session at $42.61, and fell a further 2% in after hours trading at the time of this writing. The fall extends AMC’s slide as it is now trading well below its 50-day moving average, on a day where both the NASDAQ and S&P 500 hit fresh new all-time highs. Are AMC Apes showing paper hands? More likely the momentum of the short squeeze is merely dying off, the same as it did back in January for GameStop (NYSE:GME).

The big weekend at the box office was brought on by the latest Marvel blockbuster, the Black Widow. The Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) owned franchise did $80 million in ticket revenue during its first weekend in theaters, and did an additional $60 million in revenues through its Disney+ streaming service. The latter point may be the reason that investors are down on AMC on Monday, as Disney+ and other streaming services threaten to take future business from AMC and other movie theater chains.
AMC stock forecast
In a more interesting anecdote, the QRANT AI-Enhanced Large Cap Momentum ETF that was made famous for accurately trading Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) ups and downs, has sold off shares of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and WalMart (NYSE:WMT) and bought AMC. Is this a bullish sign? Not really. The Artificial Intelligence takes into account previous stock performance and has most likely honed in on the fact that AMC is still up over 2,000% this year.
