AMC's Meme Stock Days Are Over 📊

Early Bird Prime for July 13, 2025

AMC Entertainment $AMC ( ▲ 11.0% ) is the stock that once soared to the moon on the wings of meme-fueled dreams in 2021, only to crash-land back to Earth with a thud that echoed through Wall Street. Fast forward to 2025, and AMC's stock is down 17.16% this year.

With its glory days as a meme stock fading into the annals of Reddit history, AMC's current predicament is a mix of operational struggles, financial instability, and a meme stock enthusiasm that has gone the way of silent films.

But just when AMC seemed destined for a bad year, along comes Wedbush Securities with a plot twist worthy of a summer blockbuster. On Friday, they upgraded AMC to "outperform" from "neutral," suggesting that the movie theater chain is "poised to benefit from a more consistent release slate over the next several quarters."
