Air Products (APD) Catches Eye: Stock Jumps 6.5%
Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. APD was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 7% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $233.08 to $250.87 in the past one-month time frame.
This move came after Air Products inked a $5 billion deal with Saudi-based ACWA Power International and the kingdom’s planned futuristic city of Neom for a hydrogen-based ammonia production facility.
