Meme stocks are shares of companies that gain sudden popularity among retail investors, often fueled by social media platforms like Reddit (RDDT), X, or TikTok. The buzz can send their prices soaring rapidly, often far beyond what fundamentals justify. These stocks are highly volatile, driven more by hype, viral trends, and online sentiment than by traditional financial metrics.

Let’s look at the details.
1. Opendoor Technologies (OPEN)
Opendoor Technologies is a digital platform that streamlines the process of buying and selling homes.
Year-to-date, OPEN stock has gained over 380%, mainly driven by strong retail investor attention since July 2025. The rally ignited after Eric Jackson of EMJ Capital shared a bullish turnaround thesis on X, setting a bold long-term price target of $82 per share for OPEN stock. With traders looking for the next big bounce, OPEN remains a popular watchlist favorite for its ability to move fast on market hype alone.
Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on OPEN stock based on one Buy, two Holds, and two Sells assigned in the past three months. Furthermore, the average Opendoor stock price target of $4.35 per share implies a downside of 43.5%.
2. Kohl’s (KSS)
Kohl’s is an American retail chain known for selling clothing, footwear, beauty, and home goods through its nationwide stores and online platform. In 2025, Kohl’s rose to fame as one of the market’s hottest meme stocks. Even after the recent rally, shares still trade well below the company’s estimated asset value, standing out from past meme stocks that often ran far ahead of fundamentals.
On Wall Street, KSS stock has a Moderate Sell rating based on one Buy, seven Holds, and five Sells assigned over the last three months. The average Kohl’s stock price target of $19.83 per share implies a downside of 19.4% from the current level.
3. Beyond Meat (BYND)
Beyond Meat is a plant-based protein company behind popular meat alternatives like burgers, sausages, and chicken products. The stock rocketed in October in just a few trading sessions, not on fundamentals, but on intense social media buzz around unusually high short interest. Despite the meme-style spike, $BYND is still down nearly 70% this year.
Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Sell consensus rating on BYND stock based on four Sells and one Hold assigned in the past three months. Furthermore, the average Beyond Meat stock price target of $0.93 per share implies a downside of 5.3% from the current level.
