Aethlon Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEMD) stock rallied 44.73% during premarket trading despite not making any announcements today, in what some are calling a short squeeze.
However, the company’s shares are not widely shorted; hence, today’s rally could be more of a pump and dump instead of a short squeeze.
The last significant news from Aethlon was the release of its disappointing Q1 earnings results on August 9, 2021, where it generated revenue worth $131,966, missing analysts consensus estimates of $200,000.
