The next two meme stocks to buy in July

The Wall Street Bets community has increased "substantially" in size and scope since the start of 2021 although there is "nothing different" in terms of how the group of investors interact with each other and invest in meme stocks, Zhen said.

Zhen offered two meme stocks that are catching his attention and might represent overlooked meme stocks you can buy now.

1. Tilray Inc (NASDAQ: TLRY)

According to Justin, the number of times Tilray is being mentioned on Wall Street Bets is up about 400%. Weed stocks have benefited in the past from interest among the meme stock community but Tilray stands among its peers after increasing its product offerings by 20% over the past six months.

He added:

Compared to its year-to-date high of $64 per share, Tilray is currently about 75% down.

2. Purple Innovation Inc (NASDAQ: PRPL)

Purple Innovation has secured a spot in the list of top 20 stocks that are being discussed on Wall Street Bets. According to the meme stock pro:

Purple is currently about 35% down compared to its year-to-date high of $40 per share in February.

3. Bonus pick: GameStop

Despite suggesting two meme stocks to buy now, Zhen said the original meme stock GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) still benefits "from a lot of chatter" and "great due dilligence" among the meme community.
