Are Meme Stocks Back? Here's What's Going On With Shares Of GameStop, AMC Entertainment, Koss Corp And More
GameStop Corp (NYSE:GME) shares are up more than 35% Monday morning. The reason for the move has people asking: Are meme stocks back?
周一上午，GameStop Corp（纽约证券交易所代码：GME）股价上涨了35％以上。此举的原因让人们问：模因股回来了吗？
What To Know: GameStop shares climbed nearly 40% in early trading Monday after social media sensation Keith Gill, best known as "Roaring Kitty" on YouTube or "DeepF***ingValue" on Reddit, made his return to social media after a three-year hiatus.
须知：周一早盘，GameStop股价上涨了近40％，此前社交媒体轰动者基思·吉尔（在YouTube上最出名的是 “Roaring Kitty” 或Reddit上的 “Deepf***ingValue”）在中断三年后重返社交媒体。
Gill helped spark the meme stock movement in early 2021 that saw traders across Reddit's r/WallStreetBets band together and relentlessly buy shares of GameStop, which ultimately led to a short squeeze in the stock. The same playbook was applied to several different so-called meme stocks in the wake of the GameStop frenzy, most notably to AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc (NYSE:AMC).
吉尔在2021年初帮助引发了模因股票走势，当时Reddit旗下的r/WallstreetBets集团的交易员齐聚一堂，坚持不懈地购买了GameStop的股票，这最终导致了该股的空头挤压。在GameStop狂潮之后，同样的剧本被应用于几只不同的所谓模因股，最值得注意的是AMC娱乐控股公司（纽约证券交易所代码：AMC）。
Over the weekend, Gill posted an image on X featuring a drawing of a person sitting up and leaning forward in a chair, which is a popular meme among gamers that indicates things are beginning to get serious, according to Reuters.
据路透社报道，上周末，吉尔在X上发布了一张图片，描绘了一个人坐在椅子上向前倾斜的画面，这是一个深受游戏玩家欢迎的模因，表明情况开始变得严重。

Sunday's post is Gill's first movement on social media since 2021, and it's sparking renewed buying interest in several meme stocks. The original meme stocks GameStop and AMC are leading the way. GameStop shares were up 39.5% at $24.43 at the time of writing, while AMC shares were up 15.8% at $3.37. Other meme names were also getting a lift like Koss Corp (NASDAQ:KOSS), which was up nearly 13% and BlackBerry Ltd (NYSE:BB) which was up about 5% at last check.
周日的帖子是吉尔自2021年以来在社交媒体上的第一篇文章，它激发了人们对几只模因股票的新买入兴趣。最初的模因股票 GameStop 和 AMC 处于领先地位。在撰写本文时，GameStop的股价上涨了39.5％，至24.43美元，而AMC的股价上涨了15.8％，至3.37美元。其他模因名称也有所上涨，例如科斯公司（纳斯达克股票代码：KOSS），上涨了近13％，黑莓有限公司（纽约证券交易所代码：BB）上涨了约5％。
GameStop and AMC were trending on Stocktwits at the time of writing. GameStop, Oklo Inc (NYSE:OKLO), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA), AMC and Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:DJT) were the top five trending stocks on r/WallStreetBets at the time of publication.
在撰写本文时，GameStop和AMC在Stocktwits上很流行。GameStop、俄克拉荷马公司（纽约证券交易所代码：OKLO）、英伟达公司（纳斯达克股票代码：NVDA）、AMC和特朗普媒体与科技集团公司（纳斯达克股票代码：DJT）是r/WallstreetBets上排名前五的热门股票。
GameStop shares are up more than 50% in May and nearly 75% over the last month. According to Benzinga Pro, about 25.8% of the float is currently sold short. Although the short interest is meaningful, it's still well below the highs of around 140% in 2021.
GameStop的股价在5月份上涨了50％以上，比上个月上涨了近75％。根据Benzinga Pro的数据，目前约有25.8％的股票被卖空。尽管空头利率很有意义，但仍远低于2021年约140％的高点。
"There's been a few attempts where investors have tried to justify that it's the return of meme stocks, but we haven't quite seen that materialized," Daniela Hathorn, senior market analyst at Capital.com, told Reuters.
Capital.com高级市场分析师丹妮拉·哈索恩告诉路透社：“投资者曾多次试图证明这是模因股的回归，但我们还没有完全看到这种情况成为现实。”
