With the gloom and doom in the stock market today, you are probably correct in believing that the meme stock frenzy is over. With the risk-off sentiment of investors, they are unlikely to gravitate towards chancy investments such as meme stocks.

It’s been a triple whammy for equities this year, with rampant inflation, interest rates, and the Ukraine war. Additionally, it’s been a year since the U.S. government distributed stimulus checks.

Space tourism play Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) was off to a flyer post-IPO in October 2019, gaining over 100% in its first trading year.

However, the constant delays in the launch of its commercial space flights and other milestones have had a crippling impact on SPCE stock. Its recent update, though, was a step in the right direction for the business, as it looks to turn things up a notch or two in the coming months.

As per the latest financial results, Virgin has roughly $1.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents, including $425 million from a convertible note offering. Hence, it has enough funds to continue pursuing commercialization without liquidity hiccups.

Moreover, it now boasts a reservation backlog of 750, a 25% increase from a couple of quarters ago. It also reiterated its plans to launch commercial operations by the fourth quarter. Hence, it’s a critical year for the business, which could flip the script on its stock.

Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ:SAVA) is clinical-stage biotech engaged in developing its Alzheimers drug called simufilam. SAVA stock was doing remarkably well in conducting trials and getting its drug out in the market until a series of unfortunate events.

A short-selling group questioned the veracity of its preliminary trial results, which led to the SEC investigating the matter. However, recent developments suggest that the stock could be back on track.

The FDA has rebuffed the short-selling group’s petition to halt the trial. Moreover, the scientific journal that had published the questionable data has found no evidence of inaptness.

The biotech has a healthy cash balance of $233.4 million and a negligible amount of debt, which sets the stage for the company to push through to the finish line.

Things have been looking upward for Canadian pot stock Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) after it completed its merger with Aphria last year. Since the merger, we have seen a strong improvement in the company’s top and bottom lines.

Additionally, it’s on track to realize $80 million in synergies by the May 31 and another $20 million next year. Moreover, the merger has allowed Tilray to broaden its horizons and strengthen its cultivation facilities in European markets.

The third quarter was the 12th straight time when the Canadian cannabis giant posted a positive adjusted EBITDA. A robust 23% increase in sales contributed to the stellar performance. The stand-out result during the quarter came from its beverage alcohol business which grew 63% the quarter.

Additionally, it maintained its hold over the Canadian marijuana market with over 10% market share.

AMC Entertainment (AMC)

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock caught on with the Reddit-trading crowd pushing its price to $62.55 in June last year.

However, since then, the stock has shed over 70% of its value despite improvements in its business performance. The pandemic shut down theatres across the globe, which pulverized AMC, but recent blockbusters have saved the day for its business.

Big ticker releases seem to be turning AMC’s fortunes around. Its revenues for the first quarter are at a tremendous $785.7 million, representing a 430% increase from the prior-year period. Attendance is rising aggressively, and with a strong movie slate for the all-important summer reason, AMC believes it can match its pre-pandemic performance.

Meme Stocks to Buy: GameStop (GME)

GameStop (NYSE:GME) is the original meme stock, which witnessed mind-boggling growth of 1,500%. Since then, the stock now trades at under 1.6 times forward sales, which is significantly lower than during the height of the retail trading mania.

GameStop sales peaked at $8.5 billion in fiscal 2017 but dropped to $5 billion for fiscal 2020. However, a few bright spots could potentially turn things around for the business.

A lot of it is down to the company management, led by its vibrant CEO Ryan Cohen, who wants a strategic shift towards an eCommerce model focusing on gaming and other related products.

Also, the enterprise plans to foray into the hugely profitable NFT market, worth over $40 billion. Its business has many variables, but it has the organic resources to further its objectives and fund new ventures.

Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) stock has been in the red for several months now. Its business has been plagued with multiple headwinds in the past few years, which has limited its attractiveness as an investment.

The plan involved remodeling over 400 company stores to provide significantly better customer experiences. It also intends to close 200 of its stores and will open regional distribution centers to develop the delivery network.

Also, it has plans to launch owned brands leveraged through an omnichannel experience. Hence, its turnaround strategy could turn the tide for BBBY stock, which has languished over the past couple of years.
