Midday Meme Stock Report for 10\/14: AMC, BlackBerry, Camber Energy, Microvast

U.S. markets added to their premarket gains on Thursday, with all sectors higher as of the noon hour. Materials (up 1.8%), tech (up 1.6%), and health care (up 16%) led the charge. Yields on 10-year Treasuries were down a couple of basis points, despite a jump in Thursday’s report on the Producer Price Index. This may indicate a waning in concern over inflation.

Among our basket of meme stocks, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AMC) was the leader, even though it had pulled back slightly from its intra-day high. Trading volume was heavier than usual. The company had no specific news.

Lithium-ion battery maker Microvast Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MVST) also held on to a solid gain. This may be due in part to increased optimism on lithium stocks, generated by a recent price hike for the metal. We took a look at the move in lithium stocks earlier in the day.

BlackBerry Ltd. (NYSE: BB) jumped by more than 6.6% in morning but had given back about a third of that gain. Trading volume was already above the daily average. The company had no specific news.

Camber Energy Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: CEI) was the poorest performer thus far Thursday. The prior day, the company filed a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission outlining steps it is taking to patch up relations with two investors. We covered that in our morning report.
