It was the seventh most traded stock by retail investors at 10:00 a.m.
The share gains were reminiscent of eye watering "meme stocks" rallies, where retail investors coordinate on social media and typically focus their speculative bets on companies that were financially struggling or had high short interest.
Tupperware was the second most actively traded single stock by retail traders over the past week, according to a J.P.Morgan note.
