Why do shares jump and drop?
Share prices are a bit like a popularity contest, constantly changing based on what investors think about a company's future. Good news or strong performance can make them jump, while worries or bad news can make them drop. SpaceX's shares dropped due to concerns about its AI data centres, then recovered slightly after the rule change.
