Meme stock momentum has surged again as retail traders and online communities drive sharp price moves in a handful of highly discussed names. Across Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube, familiar tickers like AMC Entertainment and GameStop have ignited waves of renewed interest. AMC’s social sentiment score recently jumped from 85 to 92, fueled by consistent and enthusiastic Reddit threads and a barrage of viral TikTok clips celebrating potential short squeezes. This buzz mirrors what’s unfolding with GameStop, where a surge of TikTok videos under “round two” of the meme stock saga helped push GameStop's social sentiment score from 80 to 88. Both stocks registered notable increases in trading volume and maintained their positions as centerpiece tickers in daily meme stock indices.
In addition to these mainstays, several other stocks have entered the meme limelight. Palantir Technologies posted an impressive 401% one-year gain, while SoFi Technologies and Coinbase each registered year-to-date performance leaps over 200% and 98% respectively. BlackBerry remains a Reddit favorite and Tesla has continued to gain meme traction, especially on platforms where younger investors are active. Meanwhile, Opendoor experienced extraordinary short-term price action – at one point rising over 500% in the past month – before settling more than 200% higher than the previous baseline, a move largely attributed to retail speculation and coordinated social buying pressure.
Online forums such as r/WallStreetBets remain critical to these trends, with millions participating in or passively observing dramatic price swings and squeezes. Recently, influencer videos and real-time posts have led to flash momentum for stocks like Bed Bath & Beyond and Carvana. Notably, TikTok is now weighted more heavily in meme stock indices, reflecting its outsized influence among younger traders and its ability to spark rapid-fire moves that ripple through the market in real time.
Volatility remains a central feature of this space. Stocks often spike on social chatter, only to fade equally quickly as enthusiasm moves on or as companies issue new shares at high prices to capitalize on trading momentum. This so-called “hype cycle” is tracked closely in meme stock indices, with sudden upswings and downtrends both flagged for investors trying to differentiate short-lived spikes from potentially durable moves. Notably, AMC and GameStop both maintained upward momentum this month, but smaller tickers like Clover Health saw social mentions surge and then sharply recede, reminding traders of the risks of chasing fleeting viral trends.
A developing theme has been the return to social media by influential personalities from the original GameStop saga, reigniting retail attention and making price action even more erratic. Regulatory bodies continue to watch these movements, but there have been no major announcements of new rules aimed at meme stock trading in the past day. As with previous meme stock waves, traders remain wary of sudden reversals, dilution events by companies, and the continued divergent sentiment between retail traders and institutional analysts.
