Weight Watchers Stock Doubles: Thanks, Oprah
Weight Watchers stock doubles in value after Oprah Winfrey buys a stake in the company and joins its board.
Winfrey bought a 10 percent stake in the company.
She paid just under $7 a share or about $43 million.
By the end of the day, she had made nearly $70 million.
The company will broaden its focus to emphasize health and happiness, not just weight loss.
