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

April 20, 8:01 am

Reddit’s biggest stock conversations last week still ran through mega-cap tech, but the sharper story was in the change in attention. Microsoft led total mentions at 3,025, with GameStop at 2,447 and NVIDIA at 1,935. Microsoft stayed the biggest name, but NVIDIA and GameStop delivered the more notable week-over-week jumps in chatter, while Robinhood and Netflix also broke out as fresh movers.

Microsoft stayed the anchor

Microsoft was Reddit’s most-mentioned stock again, but the increase in chatter was modest at 2.5% week over week. That tells you the stock was less of a new obsession and more of a standing centerpiece in the broader mega-cap rally. The main posts tied Microsoft to the S&P 500’s new high, the rebound in the Magnificent Seven, and the market’s ongoing AI trade.

The tone stayed bullish overall, though not blindly so. Alongside AI hype posts, one of the bigger threads argued Microsoft was a great business but not a bargain at current levels. That mix fits the week: strong price action, steady attention, and a Reddit narrative centered on Microsoft as a core AI winner rather than a fresh surprise.

GameStop got a real catalyst

GameStop is always a Reddit fixture, but this week’s 41.6% jump in mentions was big enough to matter. The catalyst was clear. Reddit lit up around the company’s Power Packs announcement, with follow-up posts framing it as a potentially strong profit driver and a meaningful new piece of the GameStop story.

The conversation was bullish and more specific than the usual meme-stock churn. Instead of pure squeeze talk, the top posts focused on the product launch, profitability potential, and how the market might be underestimating the rollout. That gave GameStop a fresh narrative, not just recycled attention.

NVIDIA was the biggest story among the top names

NVIDIA combined scale with real momentum. Mentions jumped 73.1% week over week, easily the most interesting move among the three headline stocks. The biggest spark came from a post claiming NVIDIA was negotiating to buy a large PC-oriented company, which helped drive speculation and fresh debate.

At the same time, NVIDIA stayed plugged into the broader market rally and the AI trade. But the mood was more neutral than outright bullish. Some posts leaned into momentum and hype, while others pointed to competition after news that Google was in talks with Marvell to build new AI chips aimed at challenging NVIDIA GPUs. In short, Reddit attention surged because NVIDIA sat at the center of both AI optimism and AI rivalry.

The freshest movers sat outside the top three

If you were watching for new stories rather than just the biggest names, Robinhood and Netflix stood out. Robinhood mentions climbed 82.8% after the SEC approved the elimination of the $25,000 pattern day trader rule, a clear catalyst that Reddit quickly read as bullish for retail trading activity and for Robinhood’s business.

Netflix was the biggest mention gainer overall, up 500.4% week over week. That spike was event-driven. Reddit piled in after the stock dropped sharply following earnings, even though the company beat on EPS and revenue. The main tension in posts was simple: better-than-expected quarter, softer guidance, and Reed Hastings stepping down as chair. That made Netflix one of the week’s most active but more neutral debates.
