Kohl's Corp (KSS)

Kohl's saw its valuation surge this week thanks to meme-stock trading and a short squeeze.

Retail traders ignite Meme Mayhem 2.0 as S&P 500 hits record highs, short sellers scramble, and social buzz fuels a frenzy of speculative momentum.

Riding a fresh wave of meme stock mania, Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock surged 4.55% in after-hours trading on July 24.

Opendoor stock was up 18% in Thursday's midday trading. Shares of Kohl's were also higher, trading up by 8% at the time of publication.

The DORKs (DNUT, OPEN, RKLB, KSS) show how gamma squeezes can cause meme stocks to skyrocket, but also remind us of the risks involved. Play carefully.

Shares of department store chain Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS) fell 16.4% in the afternoon session after the stock gave back a significant portion of the previous day's massive gains, which were driven by a meme-stock-style trading frenzy. 

Opendoor stock joins a new potential wave of "meme stock" mania, however this one does have a few reasons to rally and maybe keep rallying.

Opendoor’s stock soared on social media-fueled hype, rocketing nearly 300% in July, before plunging 22% Wednesday.

Donut doubt the retail crowd: Meme taders take a bite out of Krispy Kreme, which soared as much as 34.4% in premarket trading on Wednesday.

Kohl's stock price hit its lowest point in 2025, but the exact bottom is unconfirmed. Short selling is a risk; investors should expect significant volatility.

GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) surged 59.85% to $2.19 during after-hours trading on Tuesday.
