Gill, is recognized for his influential role in the meme stock phenomenon, particularly with $GameStop (GME.US)$. Minutes after posting, the post had already garnered more than 343,000 views.
Why It Matters: Roaring Kitty's return to social media has historically correlated with significant movements in GameStop's stock. His previous post, a meme, garnered over 10 million views and coincided with a substantial rally in GME shares. The impact of his online presence is well-documented, with his hiatus and subsequent activity stirring the market.
Following his posts in May, there was an anticipation of potential market reactions. Discussions on forums like WallStreetBet surged, with traders eyeing possible gains. The sentiment around meme stocks, particularly GameStop, is a subject of close observation after Roaring Kitty's movements on social media.
However, after Roaring Kitty's previous departure from social media, interest in meme stocks like GME and AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC) seemed to wane, as noted in a Benzinga report.
Price Action: On Friday, GameStop shares closed 2.3% higher at $23.14, while AMC shares closed 2.4% higher at $4.33, according to Benzinga Pro data.
