The meme stock phenomenon isn't dead—it's just biding its time. Koss Corporation (NASDAQ:KOSS), a headphone maker with fundamentals that could use a little tuning, saw its stock price skyrocket over 250% on Wednesday. This surge is reminiscent of the 2021 meme stock frenzy that saw retail investors upend Wall Street norms.
By midday, Koss's stock price had reached a dizzying $15.42, up $11.06 or 253.67%. This followed a 31% jump in after-hours trading on Tuesday, ignited by a viral post on the popular Reddit forum r/Superstonk. The post, titled "The GME – KOSS Connection: The spark to ignite the basket, and perhaps DFV's next move?" sparked a wave of speculative buying.
Retail investors, nostalgic for the days of the GameStop Corp (NYSE:GME) short squeeze, pounced on Koss. The stock's low float of about 5.06 million shares and high short interest of 7.99% only added fuel to the fire. Keith Gill, the influential retail investor known as ‘Roaring Kitty,’ who was instrumental in the GameStop saga, has recently reemerged, further stoking the flames of this meme stock revival.
