Why TuanChe Stock Doubled Today
Shares of TuanChe (NASDAQ: TC), which is an omnichannel auto retailer in China, rose as much as 118% on Oct. 22. By the end of the day, the stock was still higher by roughly 98%, so it held on to most of that gain. While that's a gigantic price increase for a single day, nothing specifically changed with the company.
TuanChe trades in the United States as an American depositary share (ADS). Each ADS is equivalent to a set number of Class A ordinary shares. That number had been 1 ADS to 4 Class A shares. But on Oct. 20, the company announced that it would be changing the ratio to 1 ADS to 16 Class A shares. The change was to take effect at the start of trading today.
