AMTD Digital Stock Is Up More Than 30,000% In 2 Weeks: What's Going On?

Zinger Key Points
  • Hindenburg Research's Nate Anderson highlighted valuation concerns.
  • AMTD Digital noted the significant volatility in its ADS price.

AMTD Digital Inc - ADR HKD shares are up more than 100% Tuesday, but that pales in comparison to the more than 30,000% surge in the stock since its IPO in mid-July.

What To Know: The massive move comes in the wake of the company's public debut, but there isn't any apparent news sending shares higher. However, the stock has been trending across social media platforms since the end of last week, suggesting that the rally may be driven by outsized retail demand. 

AMTD Digital released a statement early Tuesday, thanking investors for their support through the successful completion of its IPO, which saw 16 million American depositary shares offered for $7.80 per share.

"During the period since our initial public offering, the Company noted significant volatility in our ADS price and, also observed some very active trading volume. To our knowledge, there are no material circumstances, events nor other matters relating to our Company's business and operating activities since the IPO date," the company said.

The surge in shares caught the attention of Hindenburg Research's Nate Anderson. The short seller highlighted valuation concerns via Twitter Inc TWTR on Tuesday afternoon.

 

AMTD Digital operates a comprehensive digital solutions platform in Asia that offers digital financial services, content and marketing, as well as digital investment solutions.

HKD Price Action: AMTD Digital is making new all-time highs on Tuesday. The stock was up 183.02% at $2,100 at press time Friday afternoon, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
