Faraday Future NASDAQ: FFIE posted unbelievable gains while not as prominently featured in the recent meme stock wave as GME and AMC. The stock saw incredible momentum, and despite crashing over 50% from Friday levels, it remains up a whopping 2,200% over the previous month. This is largely thanks to retail investors piling in, hoping for a short squeeze, which certainly played out.
The electric vehicle manufacturer has been struggling with production delays and financial issues, and despite the temporary boost, the company's fundamental problems persist, and it is expected to continue facing significant hurdles in scaling its operations. After multiple delays in filing its earnings report, the company is set to announce its latest earnings on Tuesday, May 28.

BlackBerry NYSE: BB experienced a modest rally, riding the coattails of the broader meme stock resurgence. However, the company remains focused on transitioning from its legacy smartphone business to software and cybersecurity solutions. While this strategic shift has potential, it has yet to translate into consistent financial performance. The recent spike in trading volume and share price is unlikely to be sustainable without substantially improving the company’s core business metrics. The company has a hold rating based on six analyst ratings and a price target of $4.08, forecasting an almost 38% potential upside.

Koss Corporation NASDAQ: KOSS saw a notable increase in its stock price during the meme stock revival and has impressively held onto many of the gains thus far. Known for its high volatility and small float, Koss is particularly susceptible to dramatic price swings driven by retail investor activity. Despite the recent excitement, Koss's fundamental business has not seen any significant changes, and the stock is likely to retreat as the meme stock hype subsides. Short interest remains modest in the name, with only 0.22% of the float sold short as of April 30.
The Bottom Line
The recent meme stock mania provided some retail investors with a brief, exciting ride, but the underlying issues with these companies remain. GameStop and AMC's stock offerings underscore the reality that these companies are looking to capitalize on the fleeting surge in liquidity, demand, and stock prices to raise much-needed capital, ultimately diluting shareholders.
As the dust settles, it becomes increasingly clear that the fundamental problems plaguing these companies have not been resolved. Investors should be wary of getting caught up in the meme stock euphoria and consider the long-term outlook. The adage “Sell in May and walk away” might be particularly prudent advice in the context of these meme stocks as the excitement fades and reality sets in.
