SKT Stock Price Increases Over 40% Pre-Market: Why It Happened
  • The stock price of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. (NYSE: SKT) has increased by over 40% pre-market. This is why it happened.

The stock price of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. (NYSE: SKT) – a leading operator of open-air upscale outlet shopping centers that owns, or has an ownership interest in, a portfolio of 38 centers – has increased by over 40% pre-market as of 7:48 AM ET. The reason why the stock price is up is largely due to the r/WallStreetBets community on Reddit.
