Top Reddit Stocks Last Week: MU, GME, and META

By AltIndex Research · 3 min read · July 13, 2:19 am

Reddit’s stock leaderboard for July 12 still ran through Micron, GameStop, and Meta. But the more interesting shift was underneath the headline numbers: MU and META stayed near the top even as mentions cooled, while GME gained fresh traction and spilled over into a huge jump for eBay.

MU and META stayed big, but the heat cooled

Micron led the week with 2,174 mentions, even after a 26.7% drop from the prior week. The stock was basically flat, up 0.4%, and the Reddit tone was neutral. The posts behind the chatter point to a familiar setup: MU stayed in the conversation as a chip trade and options vehicle, with users posting about HBM, quick call-and-put gains, and outsized wins tied to the broader semiconductor trade.

Meta told a similar story on mentions, but not on price. META fell 28.3% week over week in Reddit chatter, yet the stock jumped 14.8%. The main narrative in top posts was Meta pushing further into AI, especially AI coding, plus a wave of options-fueled excitement after a massive call trade payoff. In other words, META stayed relevant because traders were chasing the move and the AI angle, even if it was not the week’s fastest-rising Reddit story.

GME got louder for a reason

GameStop was the standout among the top-three names by mentions. Posts climbed 20.6% week over week to 2,116, even with the stock down 5.0%, and sentiment stayed bullish. This week’s attention was driven by the annual meeting, shareholder approval of an increase in authorized shares, and renewed debate around the company’s pursuit of eBay.

Top threads also show how the story evolved across Reddit. Some users focused on extremely low trading volume, while others tied the meeting results to a larger strategic play around M&A. That gave GME something more concrete than its usual meme-stock persistence, which helps explain why attention rose even as the stock slipped.

The freshest mover was really an eBay story through GameStop

eBay had the biggest jump in attention among the major movers, with mentions up 80.8% week over week. But this was not about eBay’s standalone business. Reddit’s eBay spike was almost entirely driven by GameStop-related speculation after the annual meeting, especially the approved share authorization and long posts outlining possible ways a deal could be financed.

One more mover worth noting

Apple also saw a sharp jump in attention, with mentions up 71.1% from the prior week. The top catalyst was the lawsuit against OpenAI over alleged trade secret theft, which dominated the most popular Apple posts. A separate thread around Apple’s chip deal with Broadcom added to the traffic, but the legal fight was the bigger reason Reddit suddenly cared more.
