Why Is Everyone (Still) Talking About GameStop Stock?
GameStop (NYSE: GME) has to be 2021's most interesting stock. The video game retailer started to pick up momentum ahead of the launch of new game consoles from Sony and Microsoft last year, and over the past two months, short-squeeze mania and other big developments have led to incredible swings for the the company's share price.
GameStop's stock climbed as high as $483 per share during the height of short-squeeze mania. While the stock briefly returned to trading in the range of $50 per share, it's bounced back once again and traded at $201.75 at Thursday's close. That price represents a 971% increase year to date and a 4,715% increase from the $4.19 share price the stock had one year ago.
