AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc (AMC) is a leading entertainment business based in the US. It opened the day at $37.58 after a previous close of $37.02. During the day the price has varied from a low of $35.01 to a high of $38.48. The latest price was $35.20 (25 minute delay). AMC Entertainment is listed on the NYSE and employs 3,449 staff. All prices are listed in US Dollars.
Shares of AMC were among the group of so-called meme stocks that skyrocketed in late January as individual investors piled into the stock, forcing hedge funds to scramble to cover their losses on short positions.
Shorting occurs when an investor borrows shares and sells them to others, a position taken when the investor believes the share price is going to decline. The short seller hopes to buy shares back at a lower price to settle the loan, pocketing the difference.
The move in AMC seemed to be driven by the same Reddit chat board that helped drive GameStop and some other heavily shorted stocks higher. All fell back in February but continue to trade heavily.
Since then AMC stock has been volatile, but with a big upswing starting in May. It’s the leading gainer among the group of so-called meme stocks, which are all up substantially so far this year.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 79.7 million AMC Entertainment shares held short by investors – that's known as AMC Entertainment's "short interest". This figure is 6.3% down from 85.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting AMC Entertainment shares can be evaluated.
AMC Entertainment's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of AMC Entertainment shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of AMC Entertainment shares traded daily (recently around 128.6 million). AMC Entertainment's SIR currently stands at 0.62. In other words for every 100,000 AMC Entertainment shares traded daily on the market, roughly 620 shares are currently held short.
However AMC Entertainment's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of AMC Entertainment shares, or, against the total number of tradable AMC Entertainment shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case AMC Entertainment's short interest could be expressed as 0.16% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 AMC Entertainment shares in existence, roughly 160 shares are currently held short) or 0.1777% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable AMC Entertainment shares, roughly 178 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against AMC Entertainment.
