Top Reddit Stocks Last Week: GME, MSFT, and GOOG

April 6, 8:07 am

Last week, Reddit was still dominated by the usual heavyweights. GameStop, Microsoft, and Google led by total mentions, but all three cooled week over week. The bigger story was where attention suddenly surged, and that was Nike.

The biggest names stayed on top, but momentum faded

GameStop led the week with 2,084 mentions, followed by Microsoft at 1,836 and Google at 1,537. But none of them gained momentum. GameStop mentions fell 30.56%, Google dropped 29.95%, and Microsoft saw the sharpest decline at 56.59%. This sort of drop is to be expected with a shorter trading week.

GameStop still had a bullish Reddit tone, helped by posts about Michael Burry increasing his stake, bullish reactions to an official company announcement, and the usual meme-heavy Superstonk chatter. That kept GME in first place, but it looked more like a persistent Reddit staple than the freshest story of the week.

Nike was the real breakout mover

Nike was the standout attention spike. Mentions jumped 1,289.86% to 959, while the stock fell 13.98%.

The catalyst was clear in the top posts. Reddit focused on weak forward guidance, expected sales declines, a turnaround taking longer than expected, and deeper China weakness. Even though Nike beat on earnings, the conversation centered on the outlook and the sharp sell-off that followed. From there, the narrative split. Some posts treated the drop as a warning sign, while others started framing Nike as a washed-out brand that might be worth accumulating slowly.

Microsoft and Google stayed in the AI debate

Microsoft and Google both remained core Reddit names because they sat in the middle of the AI trade, even as total mentions fell. Microsoft's top posts pushed back on the idea that higher oil prices would crush AI economics, with posters arguing that large cloud players have stronger margins and more durable power arrangements than bearish takes implied.

Google's discussion leaned more toward infrastructure stress. Its top post was about delayed or canceled US data centers because of power equipment shortages, with Google named among the companies spending heavily on buildouts. Both stocks were also pulled into geopolitical chatter through widely shared posts about threats against US tech companies in the Middle East. The result was neutral attention overall, but the focus was broad AI risk and resilience, not stock-specific news.
