Meanwhile, shares of GameStop closed at $265. They rose by as much as 41% to a peak of $348.50. According to some analysts, this was accelerated by bearish investors unwinding bets against the stock.

Moreover, the rally put the firm’s market capitalization at $18.48 billion. That makes it the biggest listing on the S&P 600 index of small-cap stocks.
