"Meme stock" darling Gamestop saw its shares drop by nearly 30% in premarket trading and continued to fall Friday on Wall Street. As of 11:15 a.m. ET, GameStop shares fell by 26% after the video game retailer posted a decline in sales, sending stocks into a nosedive.
The disappointing news on the store's earnings report far outweighed the excitement in anticipation of "Roaring Kitty's" YouTube livestream. "Roaring Kitty," whose real name is Keith Gill, is a trader and one of the notable figures in the famous "meme stock" rally of 2021.
