SunPower Stock Is Soaring Tuesday: What's Going On?
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
SunPower Corp (NASDAQ:SPWR) shares surged as high short-interest stocks rallied, influenced by Keith Gill's return to social media and the Biden administration's tariff increase on Chinese solar panels. Gill, known for initiating the 2021 meme stock craze, posted on X, leading to a spike in GameStop (NYSE:GME) and similar stocks. SunPower's short float is notably high at 59.04%, making it a target for traders. Additionally, the U.S. is doubling the import tax on Chinese solar cells to 50%, aiming to protect domestic industries.
