Mattel (MAT) Surges: Stock Moves 11.3% Higher

MAT NTDOY

Mattel, Inc. (MAT - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 11% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, trading within a volatile range of $14.00-$15.97 in the past one-month time frame, showed a sharp increase yesterday.

The upside was driven by rumors of a potential takeover of the company, after it reported dismal third-quarter 2017 results.
