Meme Stock Mania has returned some, with retailers targeting new stock groups. Speculation resurfaced and exploded on Wall Street this week as day traders on Reddit’s Wallstreetbets Forum promoted “You-Live-Live-Once” dangerous trades and piled up into beaten stocks. It’s no longer GameStop or AMC that’s been flocking to retailers these days. They spin from Opendoo R to Kohl on Tuesday, then on Wednesday to wearable camera company Gopro and donut maker Krispy Kreme. Wall Street strategists say the revival of memestock is a sign of happiness as the wider market has returned to record highs at the back of enthusiastic tariff headlines. The S&P 500 was closed on another record on Tuesday, bringing profits in 2025 to over 7%. “We will send you a message about broader market risk,” Steve Sosnick, the Chief Strategist of Interactive Brokers, told CNBC on Tuesday. “It’s like this very distant red flag that suggests what you know.

Be aware that you invest in these stocks as most of these speculative runs can be short-lived. The data is from FactSet. Some names on the list are already ripping on Thursday. 1-800-Flowers.com surged nearly 19%, while over meat surged on news on Wednesday. Kohl’s is also on the list.
