Shares of Chesapeake Energy Corp. nearly tripled in very volatile trading Monday, as growing expectations of a quick rebound in the economy and an agreement among major oil producers to extend production cuts fueled hopes of a continued rally in crude-oil prices.
The oil and natural gas exploration and production company’s stock CHK+181.94% shot up 181.9% to close at $69.92 on volume of 19.3 million shares, which was more than seven times the full-day average of 2.6 million shares. After rallying 76.5% on Friday, the stock has rocketed 397.7% in two days, and more than about eightfold since closing at a record low of $8.71 on May 14.
