Here's Why Skillz Stock Suddenly Spiked Today
Shares of mobile-gaming platform Skillz (NYSE: SKLZ) were trading modestly higher for most of Tuesday's session. But around 1:30 p.m. EDT, the stock suddenly spiked higher, seemingly out of nowhere. As of this writing, the stock is up 12%. After a little digging, it seems that some chatter on social news platform Reddit could be responsible for the jump.
A Reddit user posted that they had purchased $4.8 million in Skillz stock. Normally, I'd be reluctant to mention something like this. But there's no other news from Skillz today. Moreover, the time of the Reddit post roughly corresponds to the jump in Skillz stock. Therefore, this possibility can't be dismissed.
