News:

  • AMC (AMC.US) shares are losing more than 30% today. The reason for such a large sell-off is comments from the company's rival entity Cineworld, which is considering declaring bankruptcy. Let's remember that just a week ago AMC's CEO assured optimistic forecasts around the business. The mood around the company is also under pressure due to another sell-off in Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY.US) shares, which are losing another 10% at the open. Bloomberg reported that some BBBY suppliers have halted their services due to payment shortfalls. 

  • Ford (F.US) shares are losing 2.8% today due to a verdict ordering the company to pay a $1.7 billion fine. At issue is an accident in which a married couple was killed. 

  • Tesla (TSLA.US) shares are losing nearly 2.1% early in the session. Musk announced a $3,000 price increase for the Full Self Driving system.
