Did Roaring Kitty give meme-stock traders a Christmas present? While that isn’t presently clear, GameStop (GME) fans did a little shopping of their own today.
Shares of the retailer associated with Keith “Roaring Kitty” Gill, who for many is the first person who comes to mind when the company comes up, rose Thursday.

Shares of the company, meanwhile, are up nearly 90% in 2024, trading at some of their highest levels since June—though still below prices seen at the top of spikes largely inspired by Gill earlier this year.
GameStop earlier this month reported its latest quarterly results, turning in a decline in sales and swinging to a net profit.
