AMC shares more than doubled since Friday after Roaring Kitty posted online for the first time in 3 years, reigniting the short sell frenzy.  During the previous short sell rally in 2021, AMC avoided bankruptcy after retail investors rallied around the stock. AMC raised $250 million from a stock sale this week as the rally occurred and has a chance to put a dent in its substantial debt load from acquisitions in recent years. Lenders have renegotiated debt terms and a higher stock price could lead to better deals.
