Why AMC Stock Is Skyrocketing Higher And APE Units Trading Lower
Portfolio Pulse from AJ Fabino

The conversion would have diluted the stake of retail investors. The ruling sends the case back to square one, creating a hurdle for AMC, which is eager to convert the APE units and issue additional shares as it grapples with interest rates complicating its loan financing.
