Tupperware Brands Corporation (NYSE: TUP) witnessed an astonishing surge of over 60% during intraday trading, leaving investors and analysts puzzled as there were no official filings or press releases from the company to explain the sudden spike. The unprecedented gain has raised several questions: What could have triggered such a remarkable uproar, and how could a stock rally so intensely without any apparent updates or milestones disclosed by the company?

In recent years, the influence of retail investors has grown significantly, becoming a potent force in the stock market. Upon delving deeper into the situation, it becomes evident that retail investors are actively engaging to “YOLO” or “HODL,” the company, showing unwavering faith in the once-promising Tupperware brand.

Short Squeezes:
After conducting a more in-depth analysis, we expanded our investigation to include other platforms like Twitter to gauge the overall sentiment surrounding the current market situation. Interestingly, we discovered that a vast number of individuals are adopting a strategy reminiscent of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC), BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB) and GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) rallies witnessed during previous summers. For those who might be unfamiliar with this approach, let us break it down below for better understanding:
As you likely know, is involved in the movie theatre industry. The company experienced a massive surge in its stock price primarily due to a phenomenon known as a “short squeeze.” and was often referred to as a, “Memestock”.
A short squeeze occurs when a heavily shorted stock (where many investors have bet against the stock’s rise) starts to increase in value. As the stock price rises, short-sellers may be forced to buy back the stock to cover their positions and limit their losses, which further drives up the price.
In early 2021, Reddit communities such as WallStreetBets played a crucial role in coordinating efforts to buy and hold AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC), partly to squeeze the short-sellers. This led to a self-reinforcing cycle where the increasing stock price triggered more short-sellers to cover their positions, pushing the price even higher. Retail investors, motivated by a sense of solidarity and the potential for significant gains, continued to buy and hold AMC stock, contributing to its substantial rally during that period.
BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB) responded in a similar fashion and had rallies of its own during the same period. As mentioned, it appears Tupperward Brands (NYSE: TUP) is going through a similar phenomenon, but through another social platform, Twitter.
