AMC Entertainment posted another surge in retail enthusiasm, with a significant rise in both trading volume and social media mentions. The stock climbed after a new burst of TikTok videos spotlighted short squeeze speculation, and Reddit threads fueled renewed optimism in the “AMC squeeze” narrative. AMC’s meme index score rocketed into the 90s, making it the most-discussed meme stock across forums and video platforms. Trading action reflected this attention, as volatility spiked and retail buying appeared to intensify each time specific hashtags trended.

GameStop re-emerged as another leader of the current meme resurgence. With a resurgence of “round two” rally memes and a coordinated push across TikTok and Reddit, GameStop’s visibility and meme index score saw a sharp week-over-week jump. Wild price swings were again the norm, as meme traders highlighted the possibility of another short squeeze and the return of several prominent influencers to the discussion. GameStop videos received millions of views, and share activity grew more volatile, echoing signature moves from past meme runs.

Beyond Meat stunned the market as it soared over 70% in a single session. This dramatic move, attributed to a possible short squeeze, pushed the plant-based meat producer back into the spotlight as traders piled in on social media hype and momentum speculation. The rally was heavily referenced on r/wallstreetbets and r/stocks, driving fast trading and a rapid increase in volume. Social media posts speculated about institutional shorts getting squeezed out, and “BYND squeeze” quickly became a trending tag in retail investor communities.

Several other names also drew increased meme attention. BlackBerry, SoFi Technologies, and Palantir Technologies posted notable gains, as their stocks saw a boost in both online mention counts and intraday swings. Palantir’s year-to-date meteoric performance fueled meme stock chatter, and SoFi’s consistent retail support translated into persistent buy-and-hold encouragement from leading posters. In the case of BlackBerry, old-school nostalgia mixed with technical breakout discussions to push up activity.

Other high-mention movers included real estate disruptor Opendoor, which has recently experienced rapid price appreciation, and electric vehicle name Rivian Automotive, as both continued to circulate widely on stock forums. Krispy Kreme also flashed on meme trackers due to its abrupt price action and appeal as a “legacy underdog” meme candidate.

Social media trends continued to shift across platforms. While Reddit sustained its status as the ideas and coordination hub, TikTok clips generated the largest spikes in instant trading interest as short video formats rapidly spread hype or panic. YouTube remained the place for longer-form deep dives and live reaction trades. Overall, meme indexes calculate that mentions across all major platforms jumped overnight, signaling retail-driven volatility is running high.

There have been no major regulatory interventions announced, but financial commentators again warned of the risks in these speculative runs, reminding participants that past meme spikes have frequently ended in abrupt reversals. Some trading platforms temporarily flagged several meme tickers for heightened volatility risk, issuing reminders about trading halts, margin requirements, and limit up/limit down protocols.
