Meme trading has come for transportation stocks.
Shares of Avis Budget Group Inc. have increased nearly sevenfold this year, helped by a bounceback in travel and popularity with the online day-trading crowd. The company’s stock has accounted for about one-third of the 2021 gains of the Dow Jones Transportation Average, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
