The comments come from TheStreet’s Jim Cramer during his Real Money column published on Tuesday. Here’s what he had to say.

“There’s the revolutionary cycle right now which includes GameStop, which has started a gigantic rally ever since management decided to raise equity by selling stock right into the maw of the r/wallstreetbets crew. AMC’s doing the same thing, staging a monster rally once it was able to raise capital on the backs of the r/wallstreetbets team. I keep waiting for these guys to adopt another target, a company with a big short position that could use money as it went higher. My pick would be Beyond Meat.”

Here’s what investors need to know about BYND stock following those comments.

  • To start with, it looks like Reddit took Cramer’s advice.
  • Shares of BYND stock are seeing heavy trading today alongside its rising price.
  • As of this writing, more than 13 million shares of the stock have changed hands.
  • That’s a massive jump over the company’s daily average trading volume of 3.1 million shares.
  • Several posts over on Reddit WallStreetBets are calling for others to push it “to the moon.”
  • That includes those mentioning Cramer’s comments as being behind the new interest in BYND stock.
