Invesco shares reach 2-year high after filing to reclassify $360 billion ETF

Shares of Invesco IVZ.N jumped more than 14% on Friday, hitting their highest level in more than two years after the investment manager filed paperwork to reclassify its popular QQQ exchange-traded fund QQQ.O into a management company.

An Invesco subsidiary, Invesco Capital Management, filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission, seeking permission from QQQ beneficial owners to operate the ETF as a management company, according to a statement on Friday.

That subsidiary will be appointed as QQQ's investment adviser should the proposal be approved, and its management fee will fall to 0.18% from 0.20%. Invesco could not be reached for further comment.

Warner Bros manages to hit a 52-week high, and it fights back against a shareholder lawsuit

While some might have thought that entertainment giant Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) was holed below the waterline, sinking fast against the onslaught of numerous competitors, new reports suggest that is anything but the case. In fact, Warner managed to clear the 52-week high when it hit $12.75 per share. Warner stock is up over 8% last week.

Warner is hoping to keep this new streak alive going into a court case, as shareholders are suing Warner over its recent loss of NBA rights. Warner turned to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to dismiss said lawsuit, in which shareholders allege they were misled about just how much impact the loss of the NBA would have on Warner’s operations.
