The retail conglomerate boom continues to spread, with analysts warning that the rally will fade faster
2025-07-22 20:04:51
Stocks are at all-time highs. Discussion has surged on WallStreetBets, a Reddit "investment" forum, and retail investors are piling into low-priced stocks. This is not 2021, and the hot stocks of the moment are not GameStop, AMC or the bankrupt Bed Bath & Beyond. In the meme boom of 2025, the hot companies are Opendoor Technologies and Kohl's Department Store (KSS. N). "The new highs have heightened the fear of missed opportunities," said Michael Arone, strategist at State Street Investment Management. "Clearly, there seems to be a fair amount of liquidity pouring into the market." This desperate gamble is acceptable in 2021, when the US government's stimulus package helped prop up Americans' savings. Today, the job market is weak, interest rates are rising and mandatory student loan payments have resumed. Some analysts predict that the rally in meme stocks will fade faster. "Investors are actively digesting all the positive factors in the market and concerns about rising risk factors have abated," said Mike Bailey, head of research at FBB Capital Partners. "The current market sentiment is moving towards irrational exuberance."
