AMC stock price in focus: short interest nearly doubles as options expiry looms

New York, January 16, 2026, 05:33 (ET) — Premarket AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) hovered around $1.60 in premarket trading Friday, holding steady after fresh data revealed a surge in short selling against the movie-theater chain late last year.
