Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading.
Lordstown Motors — The electric vehicle stock sank roughly 12% after the company cut its guidance for production and year-end cash. Lordstown said it will need to raise more capital.
Shake Shack — Shares of the restaurant company jumped around 7% following a bullish call from Goldman Sachs. The firm upgraded the stock to a buy rating saying the recent pullback offers a chance for investors to pick up shares. "The company's small size and unique footprint drive a lag in the company's recovery from COVID, making it one of the last re-opening plays in the space," Goldman said in a note to clients.
Moderna — The pharmaceutical stock edged about 2% higher midday after the company said its Covid-19 vaccine is 100% effective in teens. Moderna said it plans to ask the Food and Drug Administration to expand the emergency use of its Covid vaccine for teens early next month.
IAC/Interactive and Vimeo — IAC shares fell roughly 5% following Vimeo's spinoff to IAC shareholders. Vimeo began trading on the Nasdaq today as a standalone public company, with Vimeo shares down about 16% in midday trading. The video platform debuted with a valuation of roughly $10 billion.
Canopy Growth — The cannabis stock rose about 6% after MKM Partners upgraded the stock to "buy" from "neutral." MKM said sentiment surrounding the cannabis sector is low, making Canopy's risk and reward "very favorable."
Petco — Shares of the pet products retailer fell nearly 3% after the company announced a secondary stock offering of 22 million shares. The selling stockholder gave underwriters a 30-day option to purchase another 3.3 million shares. Petco will not receive any proceeds from the offering, the company said.
Coinbase — Shares of the cryptocurrency exchange rose about 5% after JPMorgan initiated coverage of the stock with an "overweight" rating.
