The meme stock was down about 12%, as the company's rescheduled shareholder event wrapped up with no detailed remarks about its strategies. GameStop shares dropped to session lows Monday after the company's highly anticipated annual meeting failed to offer any concrete updates on the video game retailer's future plans. Cohen didn't provide more specifics on the company's future growth strategies. GameStop is still struggling with a transition to online gaming and away from brick-and-mortar video game purchases, with investors banking on Cohen to eventually reinvent the company. The retailer recently raised more than $2 billion in an at-the-market equity sale as the video game company took advantage of the revived meme rally.

Warren Buffett commented at length about the speculative behavior during the first GameStop mania in 2021.

It may be time for U.S. stocks to underperform their European counterparts, according to UBS global equity strategist Andrew Garthwaite. First, UBS thinks the global economy has reached a point that would make American companies more vulnerable. "The US outperformed as US GDP growth was revised up sharply relative to non-US GDP growth (especially European GDP). .SPX .STOXX YTD mountain SPX vs STOXX 600 UBS also listed the U.S. fiscal policy as a risk factor. "This hence carries with it one of the following: i) a US bond spread risk; or ii) a relative growth risk."

Meme stock champion Keith Gill, known as "Roaring Kitty" online, seemed to increase his ownership in GameStop 's common stock and appears to be holding more than 9 million shares. Gill posted a new screenshot of his E-Trade portfolio on Reddit's Superstonk forum after the bell Thursday, showing that he is now holding 9.001 million GameStop shares and over $6 million in cash. On June 2, the first day he started disclosing his position in 2024's meme stock frenzy, his portfolio had 5 million shares as well as 120,000 call options against GameStop. Call options give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy shares at a specified price by a certain expiration date. He could have dumped all of 120,000 call contracts and used the proceeds to buy the additional shares, or he could have sold a portion of the massive options position and exercised the rest early.

For investors hoping Nvidia 's stock split could translate into a sustainable rally, Goldman Sachs cautioned that the benefits from such an event are usually minimal. Last month, Nvidia announced a 10-for-1 forward stock split in its fiscal first-quarter earnings report. A stock split doesn't change a company's underlying fundamentals or the intrinsic value of its shares. Goldman said companies saw only a 0.2 percentage point increase in retail share of trading activity following stock splits on average. Notably, Nvidia's 2021 stock split led to a 7 percentage point increase in the average share of retail trading.

Hong Kong CNN —As profit margins get squeezed, temperatures are rising in the world’s biggest car market. A tense exchange between two major Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers in recent days highlights the pressures they face as a price war in the industry intensifies. While top executives from the EV industry often post on social media about a range of topics, including technology and advertising, they rarely name rival companies, especially when criticizing them. In recent months, a price war has escalated in China’s hyper-competitive EV industry, with manufacturers battling for consumer attention with deep discounts or newer, cheaper models. The country has more than 200 EV manufacturers who are grappling with huge oversupply and slowing consumer demand.

For over a decade, companies around the world have attempted to create smart contact lenses, but they never got down to incorporating electronic components to make a safe battery. LEE SEOK WOO: So, when I decided to work on contact lenses and the power supply to the smart contact lens, I was concerned about the safety because the lithium-ion battery has the issue of the explosion or catching fire. Unlike traditional contact lenses, smart contacts have the potential to do more than just correcting the users' eyesight. So, it might be hard to implant all the devices into one smart contact lens. And of course, the technology needs to be patented first before these smart contact lenses become a reality.

Billionaire investor Ron Baron, longtime Tesla bull and shareholder, wrote an open letter in support of CEO Elon Musk's controversial $56 billion pay package. The pay package, proposed by Tesla's board of directors, has repeatedly come under fire for its close ties with Musk. If passed, it would be the largest pay package for a CEO in corporate America. "I'm voting for the pay package," Baron said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Wednesday. In January, Judge Kathaleen McCormick of Delaware's Court of Chancery voided the original pay package.
