The darlings of social media influenced retail investors — meme stocks plummeted on the worst trading day of 2025 in the U.S. stock market. Here&#8217;s how they have performed.
What Happened: Highly popularized by online communities, meme stocks are the shares of the companies that go viral on social media following a rapid adoption from retail investors communicating via virtual platforms. These stocks fell as the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 index had the worst trading session of 2025 on Monday. 
A few of many such meme stocks include;
<ul>
<li>GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>): Retail investors on Reddit&#8217;s r/WallStreetBets created the 2021 GameStop &#8220;meme stock&#8221; phenomenon via a short squeeze, impacting hedge funds that had bet against it.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>): Reddit&#8217;s r/PLTR created the &#8220;Daddy Karp&#8221; meme which positioned it as a meme stock. The community posted a spoof video of Palantir CEO Alex Karp, featuring fake vocals and a $504 stock price claim.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>BlackBerry Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BB#NYSE">BB</a>) The meme run in 2021 was driven by high short interest. However, the debentures acted as a backstop and the hedge funds earned on both the up and down legs.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>): This company became popular among the online communities after getting listed on bourses via SPAC route. Unlike other meme stocks, this company had better fundamentals for investors to bet on, however, the stock went abuzz on several updates.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SoundHound AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOUN#NASDAQ">SOUN</a>): Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&#8217;s investment sparked a price surge, leading to increased short selling and a subsequent meme stock short squeeze attempt in late 2024.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>): It became a meme stock due to Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) backing, its IPO during the ongoing meme craze, and a rapid post-IPO surge that briefly exceeded $100 billion in market cap.</li>
</ul>
While these meme stocks famously held by the investors in online community defy short bets, all of them fell on the worst trading day of 2025.

Market Enters Correction Zone In The Same Week When Dot-Com Bubble Burst 25 Years Ago: Here&#8217;s What Experts Are Saying</a>
Why It Matters: On Monday, the Nasdaq 100 plummeted 12.46% from its previous high of 22,222.61 to 19,430.95 points, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index neared the correction zone, down 8.67% from its 52-week high of 6,147.43 to 5,614.56 points.
In the terms of meme stock communities, the aforementioned stocks didn&#8217;t go &#8220;to the moon,&#8221; and provide &#8220;tendies,&#8221; as most were down on a year-to-date basis. And the &#8220;apes&#8221; did not &#8220;hold the line&#8221; with their &#8220;diamond hands&#8221;.
While most meme stocks lack fundamentals and are highly volatile, they also suffer from stock dilutions from the companies that want to bank on their popularity. Thus, investors should be careful to invest without the assistance of a financial advisor.

GameStop, Palantir, BlackBerry, SoundHound, Rivian Didn't Escape Monday's Bloodbath: Here's How Retail Favorites Fared On The Worst Trading Day Of 2025

GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) shares moved lower on Monday amid recession worries due to uncertainty regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44171377/retailers-warn-of-price-increases-due-to-trump-tariffs-as-consumer-health-concerns-persist">tariffs and trade policy</a>.
What To Know: President Donald Trump earlier this month imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, along with an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports, according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/timeline-trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-china/story?id=119506883">ABC</a>. He later granted a one-month exception for USCMA-compliant goods.
In February, Trump ordered 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports and 10% on Chinese imports. While the tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods were delayed until March, the initial 10% tariff on Chinese goods took effect immediately.
Investors may be selling off as the back-and-forth on tariff policy creates uncertainty about pricing and supply chain stability. Retail, apparel and e-commerce stocks could be particularly affected, as higher prices from tariffs may lead consumers to cut back on spending.
Commerce Department data indicates that January retail sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/02/43736972/us-retail-sales-fall-more-than-expected-raise-growth-concerns">declined</a> by 0.9%, compared to economist expectations of a 0.2% decrease. E-commerce also experienced a 1.9% drop during the same period.

Shares of retail, apparel, and ecommerce stocks are trading lower amid recession worries due to uncertainty regarding tariffs and trade policy. Additionally, consumer spending is expected to be impacted, which is weighing on the industry.

GameStop's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.6% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 27.72 million shares sold short, which is 7.44% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.43 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>GameStop Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741373126_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for GameStop has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing GameStop's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, GameStop's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.38%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Peering Into GameStop's Recent Short Interest

Activist short seller Andrew Left&#8216;s Citron Research warned investors about Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRRR#NASDAQ">GRRR</a>) on Thursday, stating on X that concerns about the company are &#8220;just the tip of the iceberg.&#8221;
What Happened: Citron&#8217;s comments came in response to a critical report published by Edwin Dorsey of The Bear Cave, which questioned the recent retail investor enthusiasm driving GRRR&#8217;s remarkable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44174230/short-seller-targets-gorilla-technology-group-stock-investors-take-profits">956% stock surge over the past six months</a>.
The Taiwan-based company, which describes itself as &#8220;a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence, and Internet of Things technology,&#8221; has aggressively pivoted to AI-powered technology under CEO and Chairman Jay Chandan, who led the SPAC that took Gorilla public in July 2022.
Despite its technological ambitions spanning smart cities, blockchain, AI, and IoT, The Bear Cave report highlighted that approximately 94% of Gorilla&#8217;s revenue came from just two customers: the Government of Egypt and the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Taiwan.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The report also raised concerns about the company&#8217;s financial reporting, noting the abrupt resignation of its former CFO in September and the dismissal of its longtime auditor after disclosing material weaknesses in internal controls.

Why It Matters: Gorilla Technology shares plunged 19.09% on Thursday to close at $33.91, with after-hours trading showing additional losses of 7.49%.
In response to the short seller report, Gorilla Technology <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44174230/short-seller-targets-gorilla-technology-group-stock-investors-take-profits">management defended itself</a>, stating: &#8220;We are being targeted by short sellers who have no credibility, no valuable insights into our business, and no reputation. Their so-called analysis is nothing more than an attempt to manipulate the market for their own personal gain.&#8221;
The company encouraged investors to rely on &#8220;highly credible analysts with decades of experience&#8221; who follow their business closely rather than &#8220;baseless short reports designed to create noise.&#8221;
Left&#8217;s Citron Research is known for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/42919568/andrew-left-challenges-federal-charges-thats-not-manipulation">exposing fraud and overvalued stocks</a>, notably Valeant and Nikola. He faced backlash for shorting GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) in 2021.
Gorilla Technology&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GRRR/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> is $11.4 from two analysts, with a high of $18 and a low of $4.8. Northland&#8217;s latest ratings suggest a $13.33 target, implying a 57.50% downside.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Super Micro Computer took the crown in February as the most-searched ticker on <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent030425&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a>, narrowly edging out Nvidia.
The list of the most-searched tickers in February looked significantly different, with only five of the top 10 coming from the list of the most-searched tickers on Benzinga Pro in 2024.
Super Micro Computer, Nvidia, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust and Tesla all ranked in the top five, where they also ranked throughout 2024.
Palantir, which ranked 7th in 2024, moved to 5th place in February.
Four of the top 10 stocks from 2024 dropped to the 11th through 20th range, including Advanced Micro Devices, Amazon, Apple and the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF.
GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) was the lone top 10 stock to drop out of the top 20 after ranking 10th in 2024. Other stocks that ranked in the top 20 and fell out of the top 20 include Meta Platforms, MARA Holdings, Trump Media &amp; Technology, Microsoft, SoundHound AI, Boeing, Micron and Strategy.
The top 10 list included several new names, including BibBear.AI and Rigetti, which fit the themes of AI and quantum computing that have been popular with investors in recent years. Hims &amp; Hers made the top 10 in February, which came as the company saw a surging stock price and also showed off its first-ever <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43598736/super-bowl-commercials-2025-complete-list-of-super-bowl-lix-ads-and-companies-behind-them">Super Bowl commercial.</a>
Time will tell if many of the names remain on the list for the month of March or if new sectors and themes gain the attention of Benzinga Pro users.

Shares of e-commerce and retail companies are trading lower amid weakening consumer confidence and eBay's soft Q1 revenue guidance.

An investor recommendation urging video game retailer GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) to adopt the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) standard caused cryptocurrencies themed on the company to surge on Tuesday.
What happened: BNB Chain (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>)-based GameStop Coin exploded 363% over the last 24 hours to a market capitalization of $3.15 million.
Similarly, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based GameStop, with a much higher valuation, rallied over 8%, while its trading volume bounced 46% in the last 24 hours.
It&#8217;s worth noting that these meme coins aren't directly tied to GameStop but rather seek to capitalize on the hype surrounding the meme stock.
Benzinga Note:&nbsp;Investing in meme coins and cryptocurrencies is highly speculative and involves significant risk. Meme coins often lack intrinsic value and are driven by market sentiment, social media trends, and speculative trading

The surge came after Matt Cole, CEO of investment firm Strive Asset Management, sent a letter urging GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen to adopt Bitcoin as a Treasury reserve asset.&nbsp;
Strive, which holds shares of GameStop through its exchange-traded funds, proposed that GameStop utilize its $5 billion-strong cash reserves to invest in Bitcoin, a move that could propel itself &#8220;from meme stock to market leader.&#8221;
Cohen has acknowledged the letter.
