Shares of GameStop surged over 50% in early trading as Keith Gill, known as ‘Roaring Kitty‘ and ‘DeepF***ingValue,’ returned to social media after a three-year absence.

Gill, a key figure in the GameStop meme stock rally of 2021, was instrumental in the Reddit-driven surge that saw the stock skyrocket before crashing back down.

Posting a sketch of a popular gamer meme, Gill’s return to social media platforms has sparked renewed interest in GameStop on investor-focused communities.

While GameStop’s shares have seen significant volatility recently, there have been no fundamental changes in the company’s performance.

The struggling videogame retailer has faced challenges, including layoffs and lower revenue in recent quarters.

With a significant portion of GameStop’s shares held in short positions, bearish investors are facing potential losses due to the stock’s recent surge.

Despite the recent gains, GameStop’s shares remain well below their peak levels from 2021, implying continued uncertainty in the stock’s performance.

The meme stock frenzy of 2021, fueled by Gill’s posts on Reddit, triggered widespread interest in heavily shorted stocks like GameStop and AMC, creating a showdown between retail investors and hedge funds.

The return of Gill to social media platforms has reignited discussion around GameStop and the meme stock phenomenon, with many investors closely watching the stock’s movements.
