PENN Entertainment Inc. saw a significant price increase of 7.37% as it crossed above its 5-day SMA, indicating bullish momentum in the stock.
The rise in PENN's stock price can be attributed to broad market strength, with the Nasdaq-100 up 0.97% and the S&P 500 up 0.59%. This positive market environment has likely contributed to investor confidence in PENN, leading to increased buying activity.
As PENN continues to perform well in a strong market, investors may look for further upward movement, especially if the broader market maintains its positive trend.
