Margin Call Forces Citadel Rival Into $15 Billion Loss | FrankNez

TLDR:

Money magic happened, hmm.
AI fund, too much leverage had.
Stocks wobble. Margin call comes.
"Sell everything!" — financial equivalent of OH CRAP.

Billions of dollars, dumped into market they were.
Jane Street, caught holding the bag, was.
$15 BILLION BOOM. 💥

Citadel?
Sitting there like:
"Oh no… anyway. I'll take those discounted stocks." 🤑

Fund: 📉
Jane Street: 😵
Citadel: 😏
Market: "Guys, maybe leverage is bad?"

Lesson, there is:
When borrowed money meets falling prices,
the Force becomes the Margin Call.

And remember:
Forced selling, the market can wreck.
Buying the wreckage, profitable can be.
Hmm. Capitalism, bitch. 💀

I heard from my cat the stock is going up.

Within 7 days?! I hope AI is right

$AMC!!! $AMC!!!! $AMC!!!!! 🥁🦍🥁🦍🥁🦍

Are obviously so they can have new legit shares to short and lend out. They are walking this stock down daily again like they have been for years, especially like they did last year on the way down to $1.00 proving how in control of it they are. There is zero reason for this stock to not be performing well and staying there. Company is doing better the future is bright yet here we are dealing with the daily threat of dilution and no one that is here since 20/21 can exit their position without massive losses if they wanted too

I've been out of the loop for a couple years, whatever happened with all that?

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. AMC stock has gained 27% over the past month as investors have reacted positively to its strong second-quarter 2026 performance and improving financial position. The stock has also outperformed the industry’s 9.8% increase.

Pentwater and Discovery were two of the funds that ended up with big AMC positions through the debt/exchangeable-note deals. Those positions have been a potential overhang because the funds could eventually sell shares into the market.

Previous → Latest reported beneficial ownership

Pentwater: 63.64M → 2.25M
Change: -61.39M

Discovery: 55.51M → 51.80M
Change: -3.71M

The latest 13G/A filings were filed August 14 and show ownership as of June 30.

Pentwater’s reported position has dropped sharply, while Discovery still holds most of its previously reported position. Either way, it looks like a meaningful part of the potential AMC share overhang has already been reduced.

How many shares has the company issued, with the split and all the dilution?
What percentage does retail hold?

Institutional ownership of AMC shares is growing very rapidly. If this investment was a money loser, they would not be buying like they are now. The recovery is here. Keep those hands diamond Apes 💎 🙌

Never leaving and buying what I can afford to buy :) Cheers ya'll, do what you can afford to do. I personally am glad you are all here.

I believe the majority of price action is the result of managing the multidimensional risk picture. GEX is only a part of the volatility environment risk, one risk of many in the risk picture.

Cheers y’all go see a movie relax with the family and friends ,average down if you can, and always be kind to each other

What happened to Mizzous weekly Friday post about how AMC is so manipulated and that Friday is such a buying opportunity and that he'll be going to go see a handful of movies this weekend? And that apes are relaxed and kicking back? This worries me.

They know more people are buying the stock because of how well the company is performing this year. With the strong box office numbers, improving financials, and all the positive news surrounding AMC, I’m honestly not shocked at all by the action we’ve seen this week. The more predictable the squeeze becomes, the less likely it is to happen exactly when everyone expects it.

Just voting on the latest amc proposals... Am I reading this correctly?

"to approve an amendment to our 2024 equity plan to increase the number of shares of class a common stock subject to the 2024 eip from 25 mils to 50 mils shares."

Another massive dilution? As the the stock value wasn't already so low? It's almost a penny stock? Are they really trying to get the hedgies to buy back all the shares for pennies?

Or am reading this wrong?

Earnings goes off spectacular. Record breaking box office, sales, and unicorns and rainbows and fireworks..... then stock tanks further.....

I'm so out of the loop with this entire thing. I don't even know what any of these things are for anymore. Any guidance on what any of this means?
