Keith Gill, whose Roaring Kitty online moniker has sent GameStop Corp. shares surging in the past week, sparked another rally in the video-game retailer after a YouTube post said he’d return to the platform Friday for the first time in three years.
GameStop shares rose 47% to $46.55, triggering multiple volatility halts. The stock is up 76% in two days and has soared 167% since Gill tweeted a cryptic meme on May 12. GameStop continued its rapid ascent in postmarket trading Thursday, jumping as much as 45% to hit a high of $67.50.
