Why Vermilion Energy Stock Popped by Nearly 12% Today
Now this is how to start a week off right if you're a stock.
On Monday, shares of Vermilion Energy (NYSE: VET) were a hot item on the market, rising to a nearly 12% gain across the trading day. That was in sharp contrast to the slumping stock exchange bellwether, the S&P 500 index. An analyst's recommendation upgrade on the Canadian energy company's stock was the big reason for the pop.
