Let’s take a dive into SQBG stock and see what’s got it moving today.

  • To start off with, the stock has been falling lately as investors anticipate bankruptcy for the brand licensing company.
  • The company, which handles licensing for brands, hasn’t been doing so well.
  • This resulted in it trying to sell back the Jessica Simpson clothing brand to the singer.
  • However, talks haven’t seemed to be going well for the company.
  • There have also been discussions about Martha Stewart selling shares of SQBG stock last month.
  • Her sale of those shares came shortly before Bloomberg reported about an impending bankruptcy.
  • That caused some to speculate that Stewart might have traded shares with insider knowledge.
  • The company’s Board of Directors has also been shaken up during its turmoil.
  • That includes Stewart, and several others, leaving it.
  • Sequential Brands also has a low float, which makes SQBG stock a possible target for a short squeeze.
  • That could be what has shares of the stock rising higher today despite all of the other recent negative news.
  • We are seeing heavy trading of DQBG stock today with some 2 million shares moving.
  • That’s well above its daily average trading volume of about 670,000 shares.

SQBG stock was up 25.1% as of Friday afternoon but is down 24.3% since the start of the year.
