Reddit's Most Popular Stocks: A Deep Dive into the Top Mentioned Stocks Last Week

November 2, 8:15 pm

Reddit continues to be one of the most influential spaces for retail traders, with communities like WallStreetBets and Stocks feeding off news, hype, and sharp opinions that can move markets. Each week, thousands of discussions reveal where retail investors are placing their attention - whether chasing opportunities, celebrating wins, or venting losses. This week’s Reddit activity paints a clear picture of shifting momentum, from fading BYND hype to renewed enthusiasm around tech earnings.

Let's take a closer look at some of the top mentioned stocks before we jump to the top list.

Beyond Meat: From Hype to Hard Reality

Just a week ago, Beyond Meat was the most talked-about stocks on Reddit after its explosive rally that sent shares soaring more than 1,000% in a matter of days. The surge was fueled by social media excitement and speculative buying, reminiscent of past meme stock runs with many Reddit users comparing it to GameStop. But this week, sentiment has cooled dramatically. As the stock price tumbled back down, Reddit conversations shifted from celebration to disbelief. Many users reflected on the speed of the drop, calling it a “classic pump and dump” and warning others against chasing similar spikes. While Beyond Meat remains a popular discussion topic, much of the conversation now revolves around lessons learned rather than renewed optimism.

Big Tech Dominates the Conversation

This week’s major driver of Reddit buzz came from the tech sector, as Amazon, Meta, Google, and Microsoft all reported quarterly earnings. Collectively, these tech giants sparked thousands of posts dissecting everything from AI investments and cost-cutting strategies to long-term growth potential.

Amazon (AMZN) saw discussions surge after solid earnings and updates on its expanding AI infrastructure. Investors praised the company’s focus on automation and efficiency, though some raised concerns about its impact on future job markets. Some comments also mentioned AMZN as the cheapest stock in the mag7.
Meta (META) drew strong reactions after earnings highlighted continued profitability and further investment in AI and mixed reality. Despite a falling stock price - the stock dove 10% after earnings - sentiment stayed positive among long-term holders on Reddit.
Google (GOOG) remained a favorite for its dominance in AI and advertising. Traders shared stories of outsized options wins and losses tied to Google calls, underscoring its volatility during earnings week.
Microsoft (MSFT) earned praise for its stability and consistent execution. Many Redditors viewed it as the “safe AI play,” highlighting steady growth in its cloud and enterprise divisions.

The earnings wave cemented Big Tech’s status as Reddit’s most discussed sector of the week, with many users debating which of these giants will lead the next phase of the AI revolution.

GameStop (GME): The Eternal Meme Stock

GameStop continues to defy expectations and maintain a loyal following. With more than 4,000 mentions last week, the stock remains a cornerstone of Reddit’s identity. Current discussions focus on short-selling practices, ongoing lawsuits, and the lingering possibility of another short squeeze.

Strive (ASST): A Small-Cap Standout

Among the lower-priced stocks, Strive stood out with strong retail chatter. Despite trading around $1.33, it attracted significant attention thanks to speculative optimism about upcoming catalysts. Its presence on the list underscores how Reddit’s traders continue to seek under-the-radar opportunities with explosive upside potential.
