Why did IEL rise 29.7% on 28 Aug 2025?
IDP Education
IDP Education shares surged 29.74% due to a $60 million short squeeze on the day of its earnings release, despite reporting a massive profit drop and missing EPS estimates.
The Market Index article specifically mentions a '$60 million short squeeze' and notes shares are 'still down massively,' indicating the price jump was driven by short covering rather than fundamental news. Other articles report a massive profit drop and EPS miss, which would typically drive the stock down, but the short squeeze overrode that effect on this date. The volume and range multiples are consistent with a short squeeze event.
