Ares Acquisition II (AACT) Flat as Kodiak Robotics Merger Announced

Ares Acquisition II (AACT) closed flat today, with the share price surging to a record high, posting an intraday gain of 0.00%.

The strategy of buying AACT shares after they reached a recent high and holding for 1 week yielded moderate returns over the past 5 years. The 1-week holding period allowed investors to capture some of the short-term volatility and potential price movements following the stock's high point. However, the overall performance was somewhat muted, as evidenced by the 5-year return of 10.06% compared to the S&P 500's 93.89% return over the same period.
