GameStop
About
GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) is a specialty retailer offering video games, consumer electronics, and gaming merchandise through thousands of stores worldwide and its e-commerce platforms, while also holding significant cash reserves and Bitcoin on its balance sheet following a series of equity offerings. The company became the defining stock of the 2021 meme stock phenomenon when retail investors coordinated a historic short squeeze that sent shares from under $20 to nearly $500 in a matter of days, fundamentally changing the conversation about retail investor power. As an investment, GameStop is driven more by retail sentiment, short interest dynamics, and the strategic moves of chairman Ryan Cohen than by traditional fundamental analysis, making it one of the most unconventional holdings in the public markets.
Meme Stocks
GameStop is the definitive meme stock and the origin of the 2021 retail trading revolution, where coordinated buying by individual investors on Reddit's WallStreetBets forum triggered the most dramatic short squeeze in market history and permanently altered the relationship between retail and institutional investors.
