A day-trader favourite in the US soared in after-hours trading, as investors mistook it for Facebook Inc following the Internet giant’s rebrand.
After the close of regular trading on Thursday, shares of Canada’s Meta Materials Inc – which trades under ticker symbol MMAT – surged as much as 26 per cent, following a 4.8 per cent gain during market hours. With the rally, the company is worth just about $1.3 billion, a fraction of a percent of the value of the company formerly known as Facebook.
