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

By AltIndex Research · 3 min read · June 8, 7:37 am

Reddit was loud last week, but the action split into two buckets. Virgin Galactic dominated total chatter, while AI names like Marvell, Broadcom, and Google drove some of the sharper week-over-week swings. GameStop stayed near the top by volume, but the fresher story was what changed versus the prior week.

Virgin Galactic was the week's main spectacle

Virgin Galactic led all tracked names with 5,328 mentions, up 1,063% week over week, even as the stock fell 28.2% to 4.44. That gap says a lot. Reddit was not reacting to calm conviction. It was reacting to a fast meme-stock swing that reversed hard.

The top posts were full of trading halts, traders saying they bought near the highs, and warnings about dilution tied to an SEC filing. Overall sentiment still screened bullish, but the most upvoted posts were mostly panic, regret, and blowup stories. SPCE was the biggest name on Reddit because it became the week's loudest cautionary tale.

GameStop stayed sticky while Google got a fresh AI narrative

GameStop remained a core Reddit holding with 3,589 mentions, up 24.2% from the previous week, while shares rose 4.0%. The chatter was driven by first-quarter results, surprise earnings timing, and the company's increased eBay stake to 9.0%. The tone was bullish, but this was more a familiar GME cycle than a major change in the Reddit playbook.

Google was the more interesting move. Mentions doubled to 2,434, even though the stock fell 4.7%. The main catalyst was a cluster of high-engagement posts about Google buying compute from SpaceX, alongside bullish threads framing Google as a long-term AI winner because of assets like Gemini, TPUs, Anthropic, Android, Waymo, and DeepMind. Still, some of the biggest posts also warned about an AI bubble, so the discussion was active but not one-way.

Marvell and Broadcom showed both sides of the AI trade

Marvell was one of the cleanest momentum stories of the week. Mentions jumped 683.8% to 2,132 and the stock surged 43.8%. Reddit tied the move first to Jensen Huang introducing Marvell as "the next trillion dollar company" at Computex, then kept the story going with posts pitching Marvell as an AI networking and custom silicon winner. Later in the week, S&P 500 inclusion gave the rally another push in attention.

Broadcom was the mirror image. Mentions exploded 1,412.7% to 1,906, but shares fell 11.3%. The discussion centered on earnings, with top posts focused on disappointing AI chip sales expectations and guidance that failed to beat Reddit's lofty hopes. That quickly turned AVGO into a broader proxy for an AI reality check across the chip space.
