NYSE:AMC is attempting to put its awful month of September in the rear-view mirror and turn things around to start the fourth quarter. Shares of AMC gained 1.05% on Friday, and closed the first trading session of the month at $38.46. The broader markets also seemed to want to end a forgettable September that saw all three major indices pull back, with the S&P 500 having its worst month since March of 2020. U.S. markets surged on Friday as Wall Street kicked off the final quarter of 2021 in style. It remains to be seen if the bullishness will continue, but the fourth quarter has historically been a lucrative one for the stock market.
