Overview
- Beyond Meat shares jumped roughly 1,300% in four days before sliding hard, recently falling back below $3 after touching about $7.69.
- Semenikhin, who posts as Capybara Stocks, revealed his identity after his videos went viral and he dismissed comparisons to GameStop’s Roaring Kitty.
- He argued investors misread Beyond Meat’s debt-for-equity restructuring, a view that galvanized retail interest and options activity he later called an “options casino.”
- Momentum was bolstered by the stock’s inclusion in Roundhill’s Meme Stock ETF, a Walmart distribution update, and what Benzinga reported as short interest above 60% of the float.
- Semenikhin told Decrypt he realized about $9 million in profits and kept $1 million invested, claims Decrypt noted he did not verify with documentation.
