GameStop Shares Jump After Short-Lived Crash and DraftKings Shares Gain After Investor Day Conference

GameStop

On Wednesday, shares of GameStop gained 7.33% before the market closed. GameStop’s stock closed up after taking investors on a wild roller coaster ride.

Shares opened on Wednesday at $269 per share before skyrocketing 30% to roughly $349 at noon. Then unexpectedly, the stock plunged 43% in a little over 30 minutes before rising back to $265 an hour later.

The stock was halted seven times amid the volatility.

GameStop’s recent positive price movement can be attributed to investors reacting positively to news that co-founder and former CEO of online pet supplier, Chewy would be joining GameStop to help transition the company to an e-commerce business.

Shares of GameStop are up over 105% in the past five days.

DraftKings

On Wednesday, shares of online betting platform DraftKings jumped, closing up 11.40% before the market closed.

And on Wednesday, Cathie Wood’s ARK innovation ETF (ARKK) bought an additional 949,200 shares of DraftKings, bringing its total holdings to around 1.7 million shares.
