SPAC Daily: Pagaya Technologies (PGY) Memes

by | Jul 22, 2022

Pagaya Technologies (PGY), an Israeli fintech firm, DeSPAC’ed from EJF Acquisition Corp back at the end of June. Since it began trading standalone shares have been steadily in the low single digits, touching as low as $2.70 just three days ago. However, on Wednesday, the company finally disclosed (buried in an F-1) what its redemption results were. The information showed that PGY only has ~900k public float, making it one of the smallest on the market. Of course, that “memes” a squeeze. PGY shares are on a tear, expect this one to come back down to earth.
