AppLovin Corp.

Morgan Stanley’s optimism toward AppLovin is due to its consistent in-app advertising market outperformance since 2023 as superior technology drives superior returns for advertisers.

GameStop Corp (GME) is proving to be a haven in a market that is melting from President Donald Trump's trade war, thanks to a series of recent moves that have made the stock attractive again among retail investors.Shares of the well-known “meme stock” rose 3.4% on Monday and gained another 1.7% in after-hours trading to $24.70. They gained 11.3% in the previous session.That contrasts with the benchmark S&amp;P 500 (SPX), which declined 6% and 0.2% in the last two sessions.In a Stocktwits poll, 60% of about 1,700 respondents preferred GameStop as the stock to buy from a basket of popular meme stocks such as AMC Entertainment (AMC), Blackberry (BB), and Groupon (GRPN).<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:691/394;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_04_08_at_10_18_26_AM_png_00c12f7a8a.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-04-08 at 10.18.26 AM.png" width="691" height="394"></figure>Confidence in GameStop comes, among other things, from company insiders buying shares. Last week, CEO Ryan Cohen&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gamestop-ceo-10m-purchase-keeps-retail-confidence-high-amid-bitcoin-pivot/chf9raNRbeo">bought</a>&nbsp;500,000 company shares worth $10.8 million.The management buying shares in the company typically signals their confidence in the business.GameStop is also pushing ahead with a significant Bitcoin play. The video games retailer is raising $1.3 billion through convertible notes to buy Bitcoin as a balance sheet asset.The move has generated a mixed response — shares moved up and down widely the week before last — although it has raised interest among investors.GameStop's unusual moves&nbsp;are keeping investors hooked, and Cohen's recent post was another in this category.Cohen,&nbsp;a known Trump supporter, quipped about&nbsp;U.S. import tariffs on Friday, saying in an X post: "I can't wait for my $10,000 made in the USA iPhone."GameStop has suffered too,&nbsp;indirectly. Soon after Trump’s tariff announcement, Nintendo said it would indefinitely halt U.S. preorders of the Nintendo Switch 2 due to a potential impact.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for the company held in the 'bullish' category with 'high’ message volume, as of late Monday.Users posted saying that GME could be a hedge against the stock market crash.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/AccountChallenged/message/610797275</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/VXRTBULL/message/610685254</stembedurl><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GME">GME&nbsp;shares</a> are down 22.5% year to date.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

GameStop Shares Rise More, Hold Appeal Amid Tariffs-Induced Market Crash: Retail Investors Bullish

Shares of the well-known meme stock rose 3.4% on Monday and gained another 1.7% in after-hours trading. They gained 11.3% in the previous session.

GameStop (GME) shares rose 3% in&nbsp;extended trading on Thursday after&nbsp;CEO Ryan Cohen&nbsp;disclosed that he had raised his stake&nbsp;in the company.Cohen purchased 500,000 shares for $21.55 in the open market,&nbsp;totaling $10.78 million, according to a securities filing.Share purchases by top management are typically seen as a vote of confidence for the business.The move comes shortly after GameStop approved an investment plan that allows it to buy Bitcoin as a treasury asset.The video games retailer is raising $1.3 billion through convertible notes to fund the purchase, among other initiatives.Shares of the company plunged 12% last week after see-saw trading over its Bitcoin investment plan&nbsp;and have continued to slide this week.GME is a well-known “meme stock” — prone to&nbsp;wild swings based on social media chatter and retail investor commentary rather than business fundamentals.In an approach similar to that of software firm Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, GameStop is likely hoping that its stock will become a proxy for Bitcoin prices (BTC.X) and see potential upward swings while gaining new investors.Analysts, including <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gamestop-wins-over-most-retail-traders-with-bitcoin-gambit/chJ35DRRbEA">Wedbush</a>, think the debt raise may not be popular with investors, given that GameStop has yet to articulate its strategy for Bitcoin investment thoroughly.&nbsp;&nbsp;On Stocktwits, retail sentiment dropped slightly to 'bullish' from 'extremely bullish' a day ago, while message volume was high.An overwhelming 73% of over 1,000 respondents to a Stocktwits poll said they would recommend GME to a friend.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_04_04_at_8_01_28_AM_png_b306d884c4.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-04-04 at 8.01.28 AM.png">One bullish user said they trusted CEO Cohen was playing the long game and that his patience would pay off.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Stockfun76/message/610354926</stembedurl>Shares of GME ended Thursday at $21.10, down 32.7% year to date.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
