GameStop Stock Rallies Ahead Shareholder Meet, Will Roaring Kitty Attend Event?

GameStop (GME) stock experienced a significant surge ahead of the company’s much-anticipated 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The meet is scheduled to be held virtually on June 13, 2024. The stock climbed over 4% to reclaim the $26 level.

The recent rally reflects renewed investor interest and optimism as the meeting approaches. Moreover, the possibility of Keith Gill, popularly known as Roaring Kitty, attending the event has also spurred optimism among GME investors.

GameStop Annual Meeting Details

The annual meeting, set to commence at 10:00 a.m. CDT or 11:00 a.m. EST, will be conducted exclusively online at meetnow.global/MT244SG. Hence, the meet will allow stockholders to participate fully via virtual platforms. The agenda includes the election of five directors to the Board and a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation.

It also covers the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2025. Moreover, GameStop stockholders’ meeting will witness consideration of a stockholder proposal. Additionally, any other business that may arise will be transacted. In the lead-up to the meeting, attention has been particularly focused on Roaring Kitty.

Gill is widely credited with playing a pivotal role in the initial GameStop trading frenzy in early 2021. At the time, the market was shaken as the GME stock price skyrocketed due to a short squeeze driven by retail investors. His investments and social media presence turned him into a cult figure among retail traders, many of whom continue to closely monitor his moves.

Currently, Roaring Kitty holds 5 million GameStop Shares, which is a huge stake. Hence, he is expected to make it to the shareholders’ meet, sparking yet another frenzy. Furthermore, with such a sizable stake, Roaring Kitty’s vote could turn the tables amid crucial decision making.

GME Stock Soars

However, recent market volatility has not been kind to Gill. Over the past week, the value of his GameStop position has plummeted, erasing approximately $350 million in paper profits. This drastic decline began last Friday, when GameStop stock price dropped by over 50% in two trading sessions, dipping below the $25 mark.

According to Yahoo Finance, GameStop stock value jumped 3.46% to 26.34 at press time on Thursday, June 13. This rally marks a rebound from recent lows. However, despite a brief rally today, the stock remains volatile, reflecting the inherent risks and speculative nature of the investments spurred by retail trading frenzy.
