AMC Stock News: AMC Entertainment slips as Apes shrug off DogeCoin and Shiba payment options

  • NYSE:AMC fell by 3.0% during Monday’s trading session.
  • The new payment upgrades to AMC’s mobile app have not impressed investors.
  • Fantastic Beasts 3 struggles at the box office and debuts at a franchise low.

NYSE:AMC extended its recent decline as the meme stock falls further below its 50-day moving average price and erases any gains made in the month of March. On Monday, shares of AMC fell by 3.0% and closed the trading day at $17.48. US markets were lacking direction to start the week, as a series of macroeconomic factors weighed on investors.

The Dow Jones edged lower by 39 basis points and the S&P 500 and NASDAQ dipped by 0.02% and 0.14% respectively during the session.

The additional methods were added last week along with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal, but thus far it hasn’t moved the needle for the stock despite Aron once again showing he is willing to support his shareholders.
