A new wave of meme stock excitement has swept through markets, with Beyond Meat at the center of an explosive rally. The plant-based food maker’s stock surged nearly 300%, at one point climbing 1,200% over just four trading days. This dramatic rise was fueled by intense speculation, massive short interest, and a flood of posts across Reddit’s WallStreetBets and Stocktwits platforms, making Beyond Meat one of the most discussed tickers online. Trading volume shattered records, rising over 3,000% compared to its usual pace, as more than a billion shares changed hands in a single day. The company further stoked interest by announcing an expanded partnership with Walmart, putting its latest Beyond Burger 6-Pack on the shelves of over 2,000 stores nationwide—an announcement that retail traders hailed as a signal of renewed momentum.
Notably, institutional investors were also drawn into the frenzy; a hedge fund emerged as Beyond Meat’s largest shareholder following a recent disclosure, and market commentators observed that short sellers suffered millions in losses during the run-up. Despite the stock’s extraordinary moves, the fundamentals remain challenged—sales have been sliding since the pandemic peak, and negative cash flows continue to weigh on its long-term outlook. Prominent bears, including vocal skeptics on X (formerly Twitter), have added a layer of drama, betting publicly against the stock even as momentum traders pile in for what some are calling “the new GameStop moment.”
Speaking of old favorites, AMC Entertainment and GameStop continue to command heavy retail attention. Both saw boosts in their “meme sentiment scores” this week, with AMC jumping from 85 to 92 thanks to an avalanche of TikTok short squeeze celebrations and consistent cross-platform hype. GameStop followed suit, climbing from 80 to 88, as new rounds of TikTok content reminisced about the original 2021 squeeze and speculated about the prospects for “round two.” Online mentions of both companies remain elevated, especially on Reddit, and trading volumes are well above historical averages. Investors remain alert to potential sharp moves as sentiment oscillates with new headlines and influencer engagement.
Other stocks joining the cohort of meme-fueled rallies include Opendoor Technologies, which has posted staggering gains in 2025—up over 1,300% since June—alongside Krispy Kreme, GoPro, and Kohl’s. These names have rotated through the top spots on meme stock trackers and Reddit trending lists, marked by volatile price swings and recurring surges in message volume. Meanwhile, attention on platforms like TikTok and YouTube continues to amplify momentum, often driving price action independently of company news or earnings reports.
Regulatory scrutiny remains focused on market volatility and unusual trading volumes in these meme stocks, with no new interventions announced this week but ongoing debate over social media’s outsized influence on retail behavior. As price moves disconnect from business fundamentals, analysts warn of the enduring risks inherent in chasing hype-driven trades. Still, the meme stock phenomenon is showing no signs of slowing, and retail traders around the world are relishing a fresh cycle of fast-moving opportunities.
