What is happening now…
Yesterday, an extraordinarily high volume of 118 million shares was traded in one day, compared to 2.0 million shares over the past three months. It has lost -6.87% to its share price since the start of the year. The price rose 102.80% during the last 5 trades and 97.27% in the previous 30 trades. However, on the positive side, the share price went up 58.97% in the previous six months and by 77.14% in the last three months.
As of December 31, about 12% of Qutoutiao’s shares were shorted, and many of these bears probably exited their bets. Significantly, it was not just the small Chinese stock that rose today. There are few others on the up.
