Roaring Kitty's Return: What's Going On With Reddit Stock?
Jun 3, 2024 7:34 AM

Reddit Inc ( RDDT ) shares are trading higher Monday after an account associated with GameStop Corp ( GME ) trader Keith Gill posted on the platform for the first time in three years. 

What Happened: Gill, best known as "Roaring Kitty" on YouTube and X or "DeepF***ingValue" on Reddit ( RDDT ), posted a screenshot to Reddit ( RDDT ) suggesting he currently has a $116 million bet on GameStop ( GME ). Although the post is unconfirmed, the image appeared to show that the trader is holding 5 million shares of the video game retailer and 120,000 call options expiring later this month.

Gill posted a series of videos on YouTube leading up to the historic GameStop ( GME ) short squeeze in 2021. When the stock began squeezing, the trader began posting updates of his positions on Reddit's ( RDDT ) r/WallStreetBets. Gill is often credited with sparking the meme stock madness of 2021.

Roaring Kitty first broke his silence on X a couple of weeks ago when he posted a meme of a person leaning forward in a chair. The meme created a short-lived buying frenzy in meme stocks, but most of the names involved pulled back as Gill went silent again. Sunday’s post is his first across social platforms since he posted a clip from the film “E.T.” on May 17.

Reddit ( RDDT ) made its long-awaited public debut on the New York Stock Exchange in March, opening for trading at $47 per share after setting an IPO price of $34 per share. Reddit ( RDDT ) said in its S-1 filing that "meme stock" schemes on r/WallStreetBets could pose a risk to investors. The stock is up approximately 16% over the last month.

RDDT Price Action: Reddit ( RDDT ) shares were up 3.54% at $56.27 at the time of publication, according to Benzinga Pro.
