Why Everi Holdings' Shares Popped 44.6% Tuesday Before Fizzling Out
Shares of gambling-industry supplier Everi Holdings Inc (NYSE: EVRI) jumped as much as 44.6% in early trading Tuesday after it was revealed that a number of insiders had bought stock. The pop didn't last long, though, and shares were back down to a 12% gain on the day at 3 p.m. EDT.
A number of insiders have acquired shares in the last week, but the two notable moves in today's SEC filings were directors Eileen Raney buying 20,000 shares and Maureen Mullarkey buying 10,000 shares. Their average purchase price was $6.00 and $6.27, respectively, more than double where shares are trading today.
