October 26, 8:15 am

Reddit has become a go-to platform for risk-taking investors trying to catch the next big stock before it takes off. Community-driven discussions often reveal early hype, crowd sentiment, and sometimes even insider-level insights that can move markets. That’s why we at AltIndex have been tracking Reddit stock activity for years.

Last week, several stocks dominated the conversation — fueled by a mix of hype, speculation, and retail analysis. Before diving into the full list, here are a few standout mentions that caught our attention.

Beyond Meat (BYND)

Beyond Meat took the throne as the most mentioned stock and saw a massive spike in activity, tallying thousands mentions with a predominantly bullish sentiment. Discussions ranged from hopeful predictions of a price surge to emotional confessions from long-time investors. The primary focus was on the stock consolidating around $3, which many investors viewed as bullish despite its sharp fall from $9. Users were even incentivizing upvotes with cash prizes - something we’ve never seen before - adding a sense of camaraderie and excitement to the ongoing speculation.

The stock was extremely volatile due to all the hype, with daily swings of over 50%. It skyrocketed by more than 1,000% on Wednesday, trading as high as $7.39 per share before falling to $2.18.

GameStop (GME)

GameStop remains a hot favorite with thousands mentions and bullish sentiment. Major topics of conversation included official company announcements about board member compensations and notable trades on rare collectibles being provided by GameStop. Many users highlighted its underestimated trading position following promising Q2 earnings that surpassed expectations.

Tesla (TSLA)

Tesla's mentions showcased a mostly neutral sentiment. Many comments surrounding Tesla focused on Elon Musk's unprecedented $1 trillion pay package, and there was a significant debate over whether shareholders should endorse this plan. Sentiments were mixed, with some supporting Musk's vision and others concerned about governance and performance discrepancies. The looming shareholder vote on this matter has kept discussions heated.

Amazon (AMZN)

Amazon saw thousands of mentions with bullish sentiment. Redditors shared lengthy discussions on the potential of reaching financial success through regular stock investments, evidenced by one user who achieved a $10M portfolio over 24 years. Challenges during a massive AWS outage were also discussed, reflecting on how such critical events yet seemingly not impacting the stock price significantly added to the intrigue and confusion among users.

Even with the outage, AMZN was up 5.2% over the week.
