Top Reddit Stocks Last Week: GME, EBAY, and MU
May 11, 7:59 am
Last week's top stocks on Reddit had a familar stock in first place, but the bigger story was the change underneath it. GameStop still dominated total chatter with 14,433 mentions, up 104% week over week. The fresher moves came from eBay and Micron, with eBay mentions up 168% to 9,018 and Micron exploding 362% to 5,049.
GameStop stayed on top, but the setup changed
GameStop was still the most-mentioned stock on Reddit by a wide margin last week. Mentions more than doubled from the prior week, even as the stock fell 11.8% to $23.40.
The attention spike was driven by one main narrative: nonstop posts about a possible eBay deal and Ryan Cohen’s role in it. The top threads focused on GameStop making moves toward eBay, chatter around eBay’s board, and posts about Cohen skirting questions on acquisition details. The tone stayed bullish, but this was more rumor-and-personality fuel than a clean price-driven breakout.
Micron became Reddit’s momentum trade
Micron was the most explosive mover of the week. Mentions surged 362% from the prior week to 5,049, and the stock jumped 45.8%.
The top posts show a very different catalyst than GameStop or eBay. Micron’s rise was fueled by trader screenshots, huge gain posts, comeback stories, and nostalgia around the old MU meme trade. Several of the most-upvoted threads were basically victory laps, with users celebrating six-figure gains or saying MU had moved more in a day than the old $80 meme target. That made Micron less of a rumor story and more of a pure momentum and FOMO story, with bullish sentiment feeding on itself.
