What are Meme Stocks?

Meme stocks are shares of companies that gain sudden popularity among retail investors, often fueled by social media platforms like Reddit (RDDT), X, or TikTok. The buzz can send their prices soaring rapidly, often far beyond what fundamentals justify.

These stocks are highly volatile, driven more by hype, viral trends, and online sentiment than by traditional financial metrics.
