Shares of Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) were: down -5.04% in the past trading week.

On social media, shareholders of the so called ‘meme stock’ continue to buy the stock despite talks of bankruptcy.

The company edged closer to a bankruptcy filing in late January after the retailer said it had received a default notice from JPMorgan Chase & Co., its loan agent, and warned it didn’t have enough funds to make payments. 

Creditors are demanding immediate repayment of the company’s debt after it breached the terms of a credit line, according to a regulatory filing Thursday, per Bloomberg.

“Generally, in situations like this where a company defaults on their loan agreement our experience is, if they don’t come to an agreement with their lenders, the likelihood of a bankruptcy filing within the next 30 days is relatively high,” said Dennis Cantalupo, chief executive officer of Pulse Ratings, a credit-rating and consulting firm.

BBBY stock is up +1.73% this year-to-date.

The stock at the time surged to $1.70 after trading at $0.60 earlier that same year.

Today, stocks seem to be doing much better than experts and analysts anticipated.

Short sellers are currently down $81 billion this year-to-date.

Despite coming from a bear market, and all signs signaling an upcoming recession, early investors in some stocks are already killing it.

Here are 5 stocks currently outperforming the market already this year.

  1. Biora Therapeutics (NASDAQ:BIOR) +73.62%
  2. AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) +54.71%

Today, BIOR stock is up more than +73% this year.

The stock surged from $2 per share and peaked around $7.36 last in only the second week of the new year.

BIOR is extremely shorted, we’re talking about the company being one of the most shorted stocks in the market at the moment.

Ortex is reporting the company to have a whopping 243.95% short interest.

Why did BIOR stock surge so much this year already?

Biora Therapeutics is on track to move into clinic with its lead targeted therapeutics program.

#2. AMC Entertainment (AMC) Stock

Stock Market 2023: Top stocks outperforming the SPY.

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock continues to be one of the biggest ‘meme stocks’ even after its massive debut in 2021 when shares rose from $2.50 to $72 later that year.

The stock, at the publication of this article, is trading at $6.08, the same share price it was two years ago before gaining serious traction.

AMC Entertainment continues to improve its fundamentals and remains the #1 leader in the movie theatre industry.

While online streaming has grown to become quite popular, especially during the pandemic, experts are beginning to weigh in on AMC’s side in 2023.

CNBC stated, “Netflix has backtracked on its previous policies, including by introducing an ad-supported subscription option, leading many to wonder whether the company should rethink its resistance to the traditional Hollywood movie release model as it looks for new ways to grow revenue.

Even Amazon associates who asked not to be identified, per Bloomberg News, are stating the company plans to invest $1 billion per year in the movie theatre industry.

The world’s largest online retailer aims to make between 12 and 15 movies annually that will get a theatrical release.

“While a $1 billion annual investment for film development is on the lower end of what major Hollywood studios spend each year, it’s a positive sign for the movie theater business, which has struggled in the wake of the pandemic”, said CNBC.

#3. AMC Preferred Equity (APE)

AMC Preferred Equity (NYSE:APE) is currently up +135.83% this year-to-date.

The equity made its debut in August of 2022 as a dividend for AMC shareholders.

AMC Entertainment has been able to capitalize on the equity by using funds to pay off debt and raise capital for the company.

Shares have plummeted since its inception; however, we’re seeing APE shares outperform the market too.

Plans to merge APE shares with AMC common stock will soon be up for shareholders to vote on.

#4. Peloton (PTON) Stock

Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON) is an American exercise equipment and media company based in New York City.

The company’s products are stationary bicycles, treadmills, indoor rowers equipped with Internet-connected touch screens that stream live and on-demand fitness classes through a subscription service.

Company shares are up +109.11% year-to-date.

Peloton recently brought Leslie Berland, Twitter’s former marketing head, as its next chief marketing officer, per Bloomberg news reports.

She previously helped lead American Express for 10 years.

Peloton is trying to shift the tides after a rough 2022, when its stock dropped more than 75%.

The company in November posted wider losses than analysts expected for its first fiscal quarter.

Berland said in an announcement that she is “thrilled” to join the company at this “unique moment in its transformation journey.”

#5. Tesla Inc. (TSLA) Stock

Stock Market 2023: Top stocks outperforming the SPY.
Stock Market 2023: Top stocks outperforming the SPY.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) had one of its worst years yet in 2022.

However, the company stock is outperforming the market today already gaining +74.16% in gains this year-to-date.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk sold 22 million shares of the company last year cashing in approximately $3.6 billion earlier in December according to this SEC filing.

After the massive selloff, Elon said during a Twitter space call that he will not sell any Tesla shares for about two years.

Musk said he sees a ‘serious’ recession in 2023 and is preparing for a worst-case scenario.

And although experts are saying a recession is likely to strike the U.S. economy during the first quarter of 2023, the company stock seems to be performing quite well today.

#6. Hycroft Mining Holding (HYMC) Stock

Shares of Hycroft Mining (NASDAQ:HYMC) rose 25% earlier this year when the company announced it had discovered more gold and silver than it had anticipated.

Majority of the company is owned by AMC Entertainment.

22% of the company to be exact.

When the movie theatre chain acquired the mining company, headquartered in Nevada, shareholders followed.

Hycroft was able to raise an incredible $195 million in just two weeks after the acquisition.

Today, company shares are up nearly +10.31% year-to-date.

#7. GameStop Corp. (GME) Stock

GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) shares are currently up +31.98% year-to-date.

GME stock continues to be a retail investors favorite despite its popularity coming down since the ‘meme stock’ frenzy of 2021.

Today, shareholders are registering their shares through DRS to prevent short sellers from attacking the company stock.

According to GameStop, approximately 30% of GME’s float is registered with the Direct Registration System (DRS).

This equates to 71.3 million retail shares.

How much of GME’s float is owned by retail investors?

Nearly 70% of the float is owned by individual shareholders according to Vickers Stock Research.

While DRS certainly prevents the company from being shorted, it’s only one piece of the puzzle for a GameStop short squeeze.

Shareholders will need to create massive buying pressure next.

Latest Hycroft News (HYMC Stock)

Hycroft News
Market News: The latest HYMC stock news.

HYMC stock surged more than 25% on the successful drilling news.

Alex Davidson, Vice President, Exploration commented the following:

“The initial drilling campaign has focused on higher-grade opportunities primarily in the Brimstone, Vortex, and Central zones.

All 20 RC drill holes reported to date have returned ore grade mineralization, of which 14 holes have outperformed the model resulting in higher grades than previously estimated or known.

The results to date are very exciting as we established continuity between the higher-grade zones along structures.

In addition, we continue to enhance the project economics through in-fill drilling that have demonstrated mineralization in areas previously considered to be waste.” 

Alex Davidson further stated, “Drilling in the Central zone is delivering ore grade mineralization where none was previously modeled. 

The grades we are seeing in the Central zone are more than double the average resource grade and extends mineralization farther south than previously understood.”

Diane R. Garrett, President & CEO commented, “We continue to be extremely pleased with the positive results from our exploration program.

The second phase of the drill program will continue through the first half of 2023.

Once permits are received, we will be stepping out beyond the known resource area and drilling prospective high-grade targets identified within our vast land position.”

AMC’s Sean Goodman Joins Hycroft (HYMC)

Sean Goodman Hycroft HYMC Board
Sean Goodman Hycroft

Hycroft (HYMC) released a press release this morning confirming the partnership with AMC Entertainment’s Sean Goodman.

Sean has more than 30 years of experience in strategic planning, capital markets, and finance.

Prior to AMC, Sean Goodman was the Chief Financial Officer of Asbury Automotive Group from July 2017 to November 2019.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Goodman served in various senior strategy and finance roles at Unifi and The Home Depot.

Sean started his career as an investment banker with Morgan Stanley and in various consulting and public accounting positions.

Mr. Goodman has a Master of Business Administration degree from The Harvard Business School and a Bachelor of Business Science degree (with honors) from the University of Cape Town in South Africa.

Stephen Lang also to join Hycroft (HYMC) board

But Sean Goodman isn’t the only addition to Hycroft’s board.

Stephen Lang has over 40 years of experience in the mining industry, including engineering, development and production at gold, copper, coal and platinum group metals operations.

Mr. Lang is Chair of Hudbay Minerals and was Chief Executive Officer of Centerra Gold Inc. from 2008 to 2012 and served as Centerra’s Board Chair from 2012 to 2019.

Mr. Lang has also held senior operating positions at Stillwater Mining
Company, Barrick Gold Corporation, Rio Algom Limited and Kinross Mining Corporation.

Stephen Lang holds a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Mining Engineering degree from the University of Missouri-Rolla.

HYMC price target

HYMC stock has a current price target of $13 according to several analysts.

CNN has one analyst while StockAnalysis has 8 analysts valuating the company at $13.26.

HYMC stock is currently trading at $2.22, that would be an almost 500% gain.

HYMC Stock Forecast

HYMC was heavily shorted prior to its 22% stake acquisition from AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.

Hycroft’s short interest has significantly dropped meaning several short positions have closed out.

Early investors in the gold mining company got a chance to reap from the price runup in March.

However, it’s long-term shareholders who are in for potentially massive gains.

The gold and silver mining company has raised a lot of money since its partnership with AMC Entertainment and its shareholders, raising an astonishing $195 million in only two weeks.

With experts on board such as Eric Sprott and Stephen Lang backed up by shareholder capital, Hycroft (HYMC) has a serious arsenal.

Recent gold news: Gold rises

Gold is rising and this can only mean great things for the commodity industry.

Goldman Sachs says the price of gold will continue to rise due to the slowdown of economies due to the Russian-Ukraine conflict.

There has been a steady climb up to $1956/oz, but the bank says we may see gold exceed $2,500 this year.

This puts Hycroft (HYMC) in a very good spot considering they now have the capital to increase production.

Gold tends to rise during bear markets so this could be a great opportunity for Hycroft (HYMC) and shareholders to capitalize from flow of the market.

I think Sean Goodman, Eric Sprott, and Stephen Lang are going to be great assets to the business.

AMC’s Hycroft Raises an Astonishing $195m in Two Weeks

AMC Hycroft $195 million
HYMC News – AMC Hycroft News

AMC’s Hycroft mining company just raised $195 million in only a matter of two weeks!

Corporate media was quick to judge the movie theatre chain’s diversification but as Adam Aron says, let them eat crow!

AMC Entertainment announced on Tuesday, March 15th that it had acquired a 22% stake in Hycroft (HYMC).

Shareholders technically now own silver and gold, but you especially own silver and gold if you’re invested in the company.

HYMC stock is up more than 3% this week but surged almost 22% afterhours on Friday.

Let’s break it down together.

AMC partners up with billionaire Eric Sprott

Eric Sprott
HYMC News – AMC Hycroft News

Both AMC and billionaire businessman Eric Sprott took a large stake in Hyrcoft (HYMC).

Eric Sprott is known for specializing in precious metals and real assets investing.

He is considered one of the world’s leading gold and silver investors.

Combined, AMC and Mr. Sprott invested $56 million in Hycroft (HYMC), or approximately $28 million each.

CEO and president of AMC Entertainment Adam Aron announced on Friday in a tweet a total of $139 million had been raised in additional equity.

This means AMC’s Hycroft raised $195 million in just two weeks!

The stock soared almost 22% after hours when the announcement was made.

And shareholders are loving the CEO’s moves as a short squeeze could be on the horizon.

HYMC short interest data

HYMC’s current short interest percentage is 49.58%.

If you don’t have a subscription to Ortex don’t worry, I update HYMC’s and other heavily shorted stock’s short interest data daily here.

This is a very high short interest figure for a stock.

When you have a short interest this high it’s possible to squeeze shorts from their positions with momentum.

A sharp increase in price could send short sellers running to close their positions before greater losses accrue.

Hycroft’s utilization rate reached 100 and has bounced between 80-90 in the past few days.

We saw a similar pattern occur last year with AMC before it ran up to $72 per share.

Keep an eye out on this stock.

As the market begins to transition into a bull market, we’re going to see many small and mid-cap size companies gain serious traction.

Should You Buy HYMC Stock or Pass on It?

HYMC Stock
Is HYMC Stock a buy or should you pass on it?

HYMC stock has sparked curiosity after the biggest movie theatre chain company in the world, AMC Entertainment, acquired a 22% stake in the gold mining company, Hycroft.

The news from Adam Aron surprised both AMC shareholders and business personalities alike.

But AMC shareholders are on the fence about purchasing HYMC stock, although some have already jumped in headfirst.

In this article I’m going to go over the information that is currently available to the public.

HYMC stock surges on AMC acquisition news

HYMC Stock AMC
AMC Acquires Hycroft silver and gold mine company

Hycroft Mining stock was trading only at $0.60 last week and earlier this year.

HYMC stock surged to $1 on Tuesday, March 8th and nearly $2 per share on Friday, March 11th.

Interestingly enough, HYMC’s share price began to surge a week prior to AMC’s official press release, which was published Tuesday, March 15th.

CEO and President of AMC Entertainment Adam Aron mentioned the company is going on offense which sparks much positive sentiment behind the surprising move.

It seems AMC could be hedging against inflation and a volatile market by investing in silver and gold.

Silver and gold have usually been used to hedge against depreciating assets during recessions and economic downturns.

It’s also very possible that AMC could be using Hycroft as a means to accelerate paying off their debt through investors.

This strategy could get AMC Entertainment out of debt quicker while leaving the company with additional cash in their war chest.

If AMC Entertainment is buying into this company, then it’s highly probable it will play in the company’s favor long-term.

Is HYMC stock shorted?

HYMC stock has a short interest of 21.99%, Utilization score of 100, and cost to borrow fee of $260.71.

You can view free daily short interest updates here.

On March 4th HYMC stock had a short interest of only 1%.

It looks as if information was leaked of AMC’s acquisition news because the short interest data began to increase only days before the official announcement was made.

Regardless, the stock became heavily shorted as soon as AMC Entertainment’s press release came out.

It’s very possible we begin to see ‘short and distort‘ campaigns with this new acquisition.

We’ve already begun to see platforms owned by News Corp. such as The Wall Street Journal, Barrons, and MarketWatch ridicule the acquisition.

These companies have long been intertwined with hedge fund narratives in a conflict of interest.

It’s safe to bet the same shorts betting against AMC Entertainment stock are the same shorts betting against HYMC stock.

Does this make HYMC a short squeeze play?

HYMC could see a gamma squeeze, but I don’t think it’s as strong as AMC to see a short squeeze.

This is rather speculative though and should warn investors of the risks involved below.

Hycroft could be an asset that will allow AMC Entertainment to cash out when needed to raise capital for the theatre chain.

If this is the case, it will be a great tool for AMC’s fundamentals in the long run.

However, it’s important to note that the company has complete control of what happens to the stock.

Hycroft released a prospectus stating the following.

Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our Class A common stock, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment.

The company may sell or dilute shares at any moment without advisory so there is risk.

Is HYMC stock a buy?

Is HYMC stock a buy?

I would personally love for Adam Aron to provide investors with more information on the long-term plan with Hycroft.

At the moment it seems like it could be a cash cow to hedge against growing inflation and possibly yield liquidity to AMC Entertainment.

HYMC stock could be a good short-term trade while it’s still early.

One CNN Business analyst is forecasting HYMC stock to reach $13.00 over a 12-month.

According to 8 other analysts, the average price target is $13.26.

The market is unpredictable right now with so much short seller activity going on.

You’ll have to make a decision whether such a trade is worth losing if it has the potential to provide you with a 10x return.

Like any new news, tread cautiously and always have a strategy when investing in the market.

About Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation

AMC acquires 22% stake in Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation

The 71,000 acre Hycroft Mine in northern Nevada is one of North America’s largest development sites.

Independent third-party studies confirm that the Hycroft Mine has some 15 million ounces of gold deposits and some 600 million ounces of silver deposit.

Making an investment equal to AMC is Eric Sprott, one of the world’s leading gold and silver investors.

Combined, AMC and Mr. Sprott are investing $56 million, which will help Hycroft considerably lengthen its financial runway. 

AMC and Mr. Sprott will each invest $27.9 million in cash in Hycroft in exchange for 23,408,240 units, with each unit consisting of one common share of Hycroft and one common share purchase warrant (the “Units”).

The Units are priced at $1.193, which complies with the minimum bid price required by Nasdaq for an at-the-market purchase.

Adam Aron said this investment is a terrific opportunity to potentially strengthen and enrich the company, creating significant value to AMC shareholders.

Why is AMC investing in mining?

AMC is taking their expertise in guiding companies going through time of severe liquidity challenges and bringing Hycroft back to life.

“Our strategic investment being announced today is the result of our having identified a company in an unrelated industry that appears to be just like AMC of a year ago. It, too, has rock-solid assets, but for a variety of reasons, it has been facing a severe and immediate liquidity issue. Its share price has been knocked low as a result. We are confident that our involvement can greatly help it to surmount its challenges — to its benefit, and to ours.”

AMC CEO and president, Adam Aron

The company is diversifying its portfolio and creating several streams of income.

Other streams of income aside from acquiring a stake in Hycroft mining company can be seen in NFT royalties, cryptocurrency appreciation, and their Perfectly Popcorn brand coming to retail stores this year.

AMC Entertainment is on a role despite ongoing ‘short and distort‘ campaigns aiming to drive the stock price down.

Even Yahoo News is praising Adam Aron for his move.

I’m curious to know your thoughts.

Hycroft short interest skyrcockets

Hycroft mining short interest

Prior to any talks about AMC acquiring the mining company, Hycroft’s (HYMC) short interest was below 1%.

It has now surged to 20.22% with a utilization score of 100.

I will be updating the short interest daily here.

Ortex is even reporting HYMC to be on the NYSE threshold list.

Short sellers got in on this relatively quick.

In fact, Hycroft’s short interest is almost identical to that of AMC’s.

It’s safe to say the people short selling Hycroft mining stock are the same ones shorting AMC Entertainment.
