Meme stock speculation propels Koss shares 25% higher on Friday
Shares of headphone maker Koss Corp. soared for the second session in a row on Friday, closing at $13.35 a share, after trading as high as $18.50 early in the day, as social media posts speculated that a post by meme stock influencer Keith Gill indicated his interest in the company.

That led to speculation on Reddit, such as Otherwise-Category42's post on the sub-Reddit devoted to GameStop that has been tracking Gill's return, that 'Roaring Kitty' would become a buyer of Koss shares on or around July 4, the U.S. Independence Day holiday.
