Inquiries, dismay, and hype regarding stock prices and their changes (Part 4)

Nordic steel giant SSAB exceeded February 2024 levels this week and briefly hit an ATH of 7.760 (Wednesday’s closing price 7.590).

Shares bought 1 year and 1 month ago showed a return of +107% (now +78%).

It seems quite speculative, perhaps more volatility ahead.
