US stocks today: Beyond Meat shares jumped more than 110% during Wednesday’s Wall Street session as retail investors fueled the meme stock’s demand.
Meme stock is a company stock which attracts sudden popularity amongst the people through the social media platforms. Investors either add to the rally of the shares by buying or add to the share price fall by selling their holdings in the company.
According to a Reuters report, Beyond Meat has been struggling with weak sales as the demand for the company’s plant-based meat patties dropped in the last four years. The company has cut their job roles as a measure to manage its debt pile.
The news agency, citing analytics firm Ortex, said that Beyond Meat shares are one of the most shorted stocks in the US stock market, with short interest at about 81.8% of its free-floating shares. The short interest in the stock increased to those levels compared to 64% last week.
“BYND now has hundreds of mentions across retail channels. Whether this goes to infinity and BYND or just serves up another slice of fake-meat humble pie, retail is clearly having meme-fun again,” Ivan Cosovic, managing director of a data group named Breakout Point, told the news agency.
