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

By AltIndex Research · 3 min read · August 31, 1:48 pm

Reddit last week was a mix of familiar leaders and fresh attention spikes. NVIDIA was both the biggest name and one of the biggest movers, with 7,276 mentions, up 177% from the prior week. But the sharpest swing came from Marvell, where earnings drove a surge in chatter and a hard stock drop. GameStop and Meta stayed near the top by volume, though both lost momentum versus last week.

NVIDIA owned the conversation

NVIDIA was the clear center of gravity on Reddit. Mentions jumped from 2,627 to 7,276, while the stock rose 2.82%.

The attention came from two big catalysts. First was the report that Nvidia agreed to buy Hugging Face for $12.9 billion. Second was earnings, where Nvidia topped Q2 expectations and gave a strong outlook.

What made the week more interesting was the split narrative. Bullish posts leaned on the acquisition and earnings strength, while one of the largest threads argued that the broader AI trade is losing steam. That push and pull kept the tone neutral and turned NVDA into more than just the most-mentioned stock. It became the main Reddit debate.

Marvell and Intel were the fresher movers

Marvell was the biggest week-over-week mover in attention. Mentions surged 322% to 1,118, even as the stock fell 10.71%.

Reddit reaction was driven by earnings shock. Posts framed the print and guidance as disappointing, and the bigger lesson on the boards was that a company can beat and still get punished when expectations are too high. Even with management talking up strong data center growth and custom chip revenue expected to more than double year over year in FY28, the dominant narrative was simple: the stock reaction crushed bullish trades.

Intel was a smaller but still notable mover. Mentions rose 166% to 890, while the stock was nearly flat. The discussion looked more speculative than fundamental, with attention helped by a popular long-position post and late-week chatter that Intel Foundry could be involved in SK hynix HBM4E base-die manufacturing.

GameStop stayed sticky while Meta cooled off

GameStop remained one of Reddit's staples with 1,907 mentions, but that was down 17.62% from the prior week. Shares rose 0.93%. The latest attention centered on GameStop's amended convertible notes exchange and preliminary second quarter results, while the usual short-squeeze and short-volume theories continued to drive engagement. In short, GME was still active, but it was not the freshest story on the board.

Meta followed a different pattern. Mentions fell 29.52% to 1,836 even as the stock climbed 4.08%. The main catalyst was its settlement over claims tied to social media harms to children. Reddit's take looked neutral. Some treated it as a manageable cost of doing business, while others saw the case as a sign of longer-term legal risk. The stock held up, but the conversation clearly cooled.

The big takeaway is that mention leaders and mention movers told different stories. NVIDIA dominated by scale, while Marvell delivered the sharper change in attention after an ugly post-earnings reaction. GameStop stayed ever-present, and Meta remained relevant, but last week Reddit cared most about where the narrative had just shifted.
