SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

WWE Stock Track 2016
Week 20 – May 23-27

Monday, May 23: Closing Price of $16.64, down 2.3 percent from Friday’s close.

Tuesday, May 24: Closing Price of $17.12 per share, up 2.9 percent from Monday to regain Monday’s dip.

Wednesday, May 25: Closing Price of $17.30 per share, up 1.0 percent from Tuesday.

Despite WWE making a big announcement of Smackdown going live on Tuesday nights this summer, there was hardly any stock market reaction. It captures investors rarely reacting to wrestling-related WWE news.

The range was $17.06 to $17.37 on quiet volume of about 250,000 shares bought and sold.

– Thursday, May 26: Closing Price of $17.43 per share, up less than a percent from Wednesday.

Friday, May 27: Closing Price of $17.51 per share, up half-a-percent from Thursday.

WWE’s stock price did move much on Friday on light volume of about 250,000 shares bought and sold.

The slow increase throughout the week put WWE higher than last week’s finish of $17.03 per share and ahead of the 2016 open of $17.44 per share.

WWE is now valued at $1.33 billion.
