GameStop GME Surge Returns Amid Keith Gill’s Comeback

Gill, whose online persona has been influential in driving the GameStop GME surge, revealed through a Reddit screenshot that his stock and options position now amounts to a staggering $586 million.

The anticipation of his YouTube livestream scheduled for Friday has sparked further enthusiasm among investors, leading to GameStop shares closing Thursday’s session 47% higher at $46.55. The GameStop GME surge triggered multiple volatility halts, with the stock skyrocketing 76% in just two days and a remarkable 167% since Gill cryptically tweeted a meme on May 12.

Gill’s Online Resurgence Sparks Market Excitement

Gill’s previous online presence as Roaring Kitty during the meme-stock craze of 2020 and 2021 had significantly impacted GameStop’s stock performance. His recent return to social media has reignited rallies not only in GameStop but also in other stocks favored by individual traders on platforms like Reddit.

The resurgence of interest in meme stocks has been palpable, especially after Gill resumed posting on social media platforms like X, driving GameStop’s price higher once more, alongside other meme stocks like AMC Entertainment (AMC).

The upcoming livestream announcement on Gill’s “Roaring Kitty” YouTube channel, scheduled for 12 p.m. ET on Friday, has added fuel to the excitement. The ripple effects of this news have extended beyond traditional equities, with the Solana-based meme token GME, inspired by GameStop but not affiliated with the company, surging more than 80% over the past 24 hours.
