AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and GameStop Corp. led a group of so-called meme stocks sharply lower on Wednesday amid a broad selloff that hit everything, from high-flying technology stocks to companies that went public via mergers with blank-check firms.
AMC closed 11% lower in New York, while GameStop declined 13%, helping send the basket of meme stocks tracked by Bloomberg to its lowest close since Jan. 21 when the market was swept up in the rise of retail trader-driven surges.
