This move comes amid what appears to be a changing of the guard among meme stocks today. A range of small-cap stocks such as GBR are seeing inflows, with more popular meme stocks are on the outside looking in.

Indeed, GBR stock has been a meme stock favorite in the past. The company opened this year below $2, but skyrocketed in January to above $30, providing investors with a quick 15-bagger. Since then, shares have declined back toward the company’s initial valuation this year. However, this past month has seen shares climb from below $4 to above the $8 currently, representing a double-up in just a few weeks.

For investors interested in this company, let’s dive into a few interesting facts on New Concept Energy.

  • Since 2003, the company has been focused on energy and resource development.
