GME Stock Spikes Amid Fresh Meme Rally—What GameStop’s Comeback Means for Retail Traders
• Hot Trendy News
Shares of GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) surged again this week, reigniting the meme-stock spotlight as retail traders rallied behind the video-game retailer and its emblematic influencer Keith “Roaring Kitty” Gill. The stock jumped more than 20 % intraday on Tuesday, stretching a two-week rally that has already added roughly $4 billion in market value after Gill’s first post on X (formerly Twitter) in almost three years.
Momentum accelerated after screenshots circulated showing a Gill-linked account holding five-million GME shares and 120,000 June $20 call options, a position worth about $116 million at Monday’s close. The disclosure rekindled memories of the 2021 short squeeze, prompting a fresh wave of option-driven buying and forcing some short sellers to cover.
Despite the spike, short interest remains elevated at roughly 12 % of the public float, or 48.7 million shares, according to the latest exchange data for April 30 2025. Elevated bearish bets leave the stock vulnerable to further squeezes if bullish sentiment persists.
Fundamentally, GameStop continues to battle slowing legacy retail sales while pivoting toward collectibles and digital initiatives. Net sales for fiscal Q1 2025, reported earlier this month, fell 8 % year over year to $1.17 billion, though the company narrowed its quarterly loss to $0.03 per share by cutting costs and boosting high-margin merchandise. Management did not provide full-year guidance but emphasized a “fortress” balance sheet with more than $1 billion in cash and no long-term debt.
Technical traders note that GME broke above the psychologically important $30 level for the first time since August 2024, turning that former resistance into near-term support. Options volatility remains extreme; at-the-money implied volatility for June expirations topped 250 % on Tuesday, signaling that traders are pricing in double-digit daily swings.
Analysts, however, remain cautious. The stock’s sole sell-side rating is “underperform,” and the consensus target price sits below $15, implying downside of more than 60 %. Nonetheless, the roar from retail forums such as r/WallStreetBets has once again drowned out bearish voices, underscoring the power of social-media-fueled trading collectives.
With a still-sizeable short position, a charismatic catalyst back in the limelight, and option activity at multi-year highs, GameStop’s latest rally has the ingredients for continued volatility. Traders eyeing GME should brace for sharp moves in either direction as June option expirations approach and the battle between shorts and meme-stock loyalists plays out on the NYSE ticker tape.
