The 25 Most Talked About Stocks on Reddit in 2025 - And What Investors Are Getting Right

By AltIndex Research · 4 min read · July 2, 3:22 am

Reddit has become one of the most influential platforms for stock market chatter. From meme stock mania to serious discussions about tech giants, Reddit forums—especially subreddits like r/stocks and r/wallstreetbets—serve as a pulse check for retail investor sentiment. These discussions often lead to real price action, especially when momentum builds around a particular company.

At AltIndex, we track Reddit mentions as part of our alternative data strategy because we've consistently seen that spikes in discussion volume can act as leading indicators. Whether it's a surge in interest in a struggling company or buzz around a hot earnings report, Reddit often lights the match before the market reacts.

Here are the most mentioned stocks on Reddit so far in 2025, what sentiment Redditors have expressed, how those stocks have performed year to date, and what it might mean for investors.

Notable Mentions

1. Tesla – Still the King of Reddit, But Not the Market

Mentions: 176,677 | Sentiment: Neutral | YTD Change: -26%

Tesla remains the most talked-about stock on Reddit by a wide margin. Despite the ongoing chatter, the stock is down significantly this year. The conversation has shifted from bullish enthusiasm to more mixed debates about slowing growth, the feud between Elon and Trump, management decisions, Robotaxi launch, and EV competition. This is a clear case where high Reddit volume doesn’t always translate to positive price action.

2. GameStop – Meme Stock Energy Isn’t Dead

Mentions: 113,624 | Sentiment: Bullish | YTD Change: -24%

GameStop continues to ignite the retail crowd, especially during short squeeze rumors. Reddit sentiment is still strong, but the stock is struggling fundamentally. While many see it as a cult favorite, its performance shows the disconnect that can exist between community excitement and business reality.

3. NVIDIA – A Beloved AI Bet

Mentions: 96,326 | Sentiment: Bullish | YTD Change: +14%

NVIDIA is one of the many names where bullish Reddit sentiment aligns with solid returns. The AI narrative remains strong, and retail investors are fully bought in. This is a stock that benefits from both mainstream institutional coverage and grassroots support.

Other Notable Mentions

• AMD is up 13% and remains aanother favorite in AI and gaming conversations - but the stock is also talked about as "Advanced Money Destroyer".
• MicroStrategy is up 29%, with Reddit’s crypto crowd still backing the Bitcoin-heavy strategy.
• Microsoft - a long-time favorite amidst more long term bets for Redditors.
• Block is one of the few top-mentioned stocks with bearish sentiment, a lot of it seems to be focused on the company's CEO, Jack Dorsey.
• Spotify and Super Micro Computer are flying under the radar in traditional media but gaining traction thanks to Reddit buzz and big stock gains.

The Take-Away

Reddit isn’t just noise - it’s a signal worth tracking. While not every spike in mentions leads to a stock rally, there are clear patterns where sentiment and performance align and breaking news are often discussed in nuanced ways. And Reddit often catches trends early, especially for high-volatility names, growth stocks, and companies riding hype cycles like AI and crypto.

For investors, this data is valuable. When sentiment is strong and the fundamentals back it up, Reddit-driven names can present serious upside. When sentiment is positive but the stock is falling, it’s often a sign of misaligned expectations - or an opportunity to short.
