Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC) shares are trading lower after Delaware's highest court upheld the company's APE stock conversion. The court's decision allows AMC to proceed with converting its AMC Preferred Equity units into common shares, a move initially met with shareholder concerns about dilution. The stock has been volatile recently due to renewed interest in meme stocks, partly driven by the return of 'Roaring Kitty' on social media. AMC has also raised $250 million in new equity capital and will hold its annual shareholder meeting on June 5.
