: Safety Shot’s stock rockets as hangover remedy company’s name and ticker change take effect

Shares of Safety Shot Inc. rocketed 37.5% toward a two-year high as the name and ticker change of the hangover remedy and wellness company takes effect at the opening bell. The ticker will change to “SHOT” from “JUPW.” The company formerly known as Jupiter Wellness Inc. JUPW, which developed cannabidiol (CBD)-based medical therapeutics, acquired the operating assets of GBB Drink Lab Inc. in August, including the blood alcohol detox drink Safety Shot.

On Friday, the company said Safety Shot is currently going into production across the U.S. as it prepares for the product launch in the fourth quarter. The stock has run up 74.7% since Aug. 11 through Thursday, and has skyrocketed 461.2% over the past three months.
