(Bloomberg) -- GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. rebounded after Robinhood Markets removed limits on buying the two stocks, which have been at the center of the battle between Reddit-empowered retail traders and short-sellers.Both shares rose Friday, with GameStop’s surge of as much as 78% triggering three volatility halts after whipsawing between gains and losses. It was up about 36% to $72.89 as of 10:34 a.m. in New York. AMC shares were up 4.2% after surging as much as 17%.Robinhood’s move, announced in an update on the trading platform’s support page, comes a day after it increased limits on purchases of the two stocks. Both have skyrocketed since late January as day traders who populate Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum sought to fend off short-sellers.GameStop’s volatile morning came amid a rush of volume over the first hour of trading. With about 40 million shares swapping hands, the rate of buying and selling at the start of the session was double what’s been seen over the past week.GameStop had plunged 84% so far this week through Thursday while AMC tumbled 47% as retail traders flocked to other corners of the stock market, such as small drug developers. Shares of the video game retailer have plummeted 84% since hitting a record intraday peak of $483 last week, reducing its market value by about $28.3 billion to $5.5 billion. The stock is still up 300% this year.Robinhood’s temporary restrictions on the Reddit group’s favorite stocks last week triggered an outcry among retail traders who said the brokerage had sided with hedge funds and institutional money. In order to shore up its capital amid the trading frenzy, the trading app operator has had to borrow or raise billions of dollars.Trading in other Reddit-favored names were mixed Friday morning with Naked Brand Group Ltd. and headphone maker Koss Corp. gaining after initial losses. Cannabis company Sundial Growers Inc., retailer Express Inc., and Ezgo Technologies Ltd. were among other “meme stocks” that erased gains to trade lower.

Cassava fell as much as 24% on Friday.Robinhood’s RoleVlad Tenev, the chief executive officer of Robinhood, said in an opinion piece on USA Today this week that the firm built the trading app to serve the millions of people left behind by the U.S. financial system -- not hedge funds.The short-term curbs haven’t damaged the popularity of the no-fee app, founded in 2013.

(Bloomberg) -- Robinhood Markets Inc. reduced the number of companies with trading restrictions to eight from 50, ahead of Monday’s trading session, according to an update on its website.The current list includes GameStop Corp., AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., BlackBerry Ltd., Express Inc., Genius Brands International Inc., Koss Corp., Naked Brand Group Ltd. and Nokia Oyj.Opening new positions in these securities is limited, according to Robinhood’s website, which listed the maximum number of shares and options contracts each user can hold. For those whose current holdings already exceed the limits, their positions won’t be sold or closed.Robinhood put buying restrictions in place after its clearinghouse deposit requirements for equities increased last week, the company said in a blog post on Friday. “It was not because we wanted to stop people from buying these stocks,” Robinhood said.The trading app, popular among retail investors who fostered the rise of GameStop stock, has been under fire across the political spectrum for its decision to restrict trading of high-flying stocks that surged after being touted on social media.Senator Elizabeth Warren on Sunday called for a broader review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on recent trading swings and said a broker-dealer like Robinhood that invites a lot of individual investors needs to operate “under some basic rules.”Robinhood’s Trading Restrictions Not Illegal: Fmr. SEC Counsel (Video)“You can’t do that in the middle of a trading cycle,” Warren said of Robinhood’s trading limits on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “It’s not about protecting people from making bad trades. It’s about keeping the playing field level.”A representative for Robinhood declined to comment beyond the website’s update.Multiple lawsuits have been filed against Robinhood, mostly alleging restrictions by the trading platform that amounted to a breach of contract. Still, investors who sued online brokerages over claims they were unfairly blocked from trading shares may have a long wait before their cases are resolved.(Updates with more details throughout)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
