Thinking About Buying Stock In BP, AMC Or Palantir?

One of the most common questions traders have about stocks is “Why Is It Moving?”

That’s why Benzinga created the Why Is It Moving, or WIIM, feature in Benzinga Pro. WIIMs are a one-sentence description as to why that stock is moving. 

Here’s why shares of BP, AMC, and Palantir are moving.

Shares of BP plc BP are trading higher after Goldman Sachs reportedly projected further upside in oil prices. Additionally, severe weather in Texas continues to impact production, which has lowered the supply of oil.

Shares of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc AMC are trading higher after the company announced it will reopen all 13 theatres in New York City on March 5. The rally came after Governor Andrew Cuomo announced theaters in NYC and across New York state are permitted to re-open next month.
