Meme stocks, popular with retail investors, can be good long-term investments if you ignore the hype around companies and look at their financials and long-term business prospects. There are a lot of definitions for meme stocks , but for me, they represent stocks that have outsize chatter around them.
That leaves out some retail investor favorites that would always be talked about, such as Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) , Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) , or U.S. Steel (NYSE: X) , because they are household names.
Healthcare Realty Trust (NYSE: HR) , Wingstop (NASDAQ: WING) , and Gen Digital (NASDAQ: GEN) are all among the 15 most-talked-about stocks on Reddit's Wall Street Bets forum and can back up that buzz with good long-term possibilities. Two of the three also offer dividends that are better than the S&P 500 average of 1.82%.
