Retail investors talked up five hot stocks this week (March 30 to April 2) on X and Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets, driven by retail hype, Iran war, earnings, AI buzz, and corporate news flow.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU), Rocket Lab Corp. (NASDAQ:RKLB), Nike Inc. (NYSE:NKE), and Beyond Meat Inc. (NASDAQ:BYND), spanning investing, crypto, streaming, semiconductors, social media, and gaming, reflected diverse investor interests.
Tesla
- TSLA reported the first quarter 2026 vehicle deliveries this week. It came in at 358,000 units, missing Wall Street expectations around 372,000. It was also down sequentially, despite a modest year-over-year rise and stronger China-made EV sales.
- Some retail investors mocked TSLA for the stock decline despite falling after missing delivery targets.
- The stock had a 52-week range of $214.25 to $498.83, trading around $360 to $361 per share, as of the publication of this article. It rose 27.53% over the year, fell by 17.30% and 19.82% over the last six months and year-to-date, respectively.
- TSLA had a weaker price trend in the short, medium, and long term, with a moderate growth ranking, as per Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings.
Micron Technology
- MU saw a volatile trading week as investor concerns over Google’s newly released TurboQuant AI algorithm, which could significantly compress memory requirements and potentially dampen long-term demand for high-bandwidth memory. However, analysts like Shawn Kim and Lennart Heim dismissed the market’s negative response, predicting that the technology will broaden AI adoption and fuel long-term demand. Consequently, they viewed the stock drop as a prime buying opportunity.
- Some retail investors were joking about the volatility that MU’s stock has witnessed this week.
