Why JOYY Stock Bounced Back Today

Why JOYY Stock Bounced Back Today

Shares of JOYY (NASDAQ: YY) have bounced back today, up by 16% as of 12 p.m. EST, after the company defended itself against fraud allegations made by short seller Muddy Waters. Muddy Waters alleged that JOYY uses internal and external networks of bots to create gift transactions that represent an estimated half of gift volume on YY Live, the company's live-streaming platform that Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) just agreed to purchase for $3.6 billion. The short seller argued that YY Live's user metrics are inflated and that revenue is fraudulent.
