Meme stocks have once again captured the attention of retail traders, sparking dramatic moves in markets as online communities rally around familiar and unexpected names. Central to the latest revival are stocks like GameStop, AMC Entertainment, and Palantir Technologies, which continue to draw intense interest across Reddit, Stocktwits, and Twitter. Yet new contenders have joined the ranks, with Boxlight Corp, Snap, Opendoor, Kohl’s, GoPro, and Krispy Kreme also surging on the back of speculative fervor and viral buyout rumors.
GameStop, a long-standing meme stock favorite, has experienced high volatility, with its shares recently doubling in value over a short span. This extreme price action echoes the 2021 frenzy. However, after peaking, GameStop shares saw swift corrections, reminding investors of the risks inherent in hype-driven rallies. AMC Entertainment likewise remains a focal point for meme chatter, trending steadily in online forums and maintaining active trading volume, although its price has been sliding modestly in recent sessions.
Palantir Technologies stands out for its remarkable year-to-date performance, surging more than 400%. While technically grounded in robust fundamentals such as profitable growth and major government contracts, its meteoric rise is attracting both momentum traders and skepticism, as commentators warn of frothy valuation levels more typical of meme stock excess.
Among the hottest newcomers is Snap Inc., which jumped more than 9% overnight, propelled by renewed buyout rumors and bullish sentiment across social media platforms. Conversations on Stocktwits and Reddit saw the stock’s trading volume nearly triple, with high short interest fueling speculation about a potential short squeeze. Opinions among online investors are divided, with some betting on imminent corporate moves and others simply riding the wave of viral excitement.
Opendoor, an online real estate company, has staged a spectacular rally, climbing nearly 200% in recent months after influential social media figures and hedge fund managers touted its upside. Even with no fundamental catalysts, retail buyers flooded in, making Opendoor the poster child for meme stock unpredictability this quarter. Similarly, GoPro surged 56% in just a month, while Kohl’s and Krispy Kreme posted double-digit gains, all on the strength of collective retail optimism rather than company performance.
Boxlight Corp represents the most striking example of meme stock velocity. Its price soared more than 200% in a single trading day amid a $1 billion dollar-volume spike, despite lacking any substantive news. This stampede underscores the power of coordinated retail action as investors chase momentum trades and quick profits, even in small-cap names.
Soluna Holdings also benefited from this dynamic as its shares jumped 94%, likely pushed by retail enthusiasm following the broader meme rally. Other popular stocks like SoFi Technologies, Carvana, and DraftKings saw substantial retail participation, with millions of shares changing hands and frequent mentions across social media channels.
This cycle has also witnessed a shift in tactics, with AI-driven sentiment analysis and real-time short-interest data now influencing trading decisions—supplanting the viral tweets and impulsive buying that previously dominated meme stock rallies. Despite lasting and widespread interest, experts caution that steep rises are often followed by swift corrections, and retail investors should remain vigilant about the risks of herd behavior.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
