Meta Materials shares jumped 9.5% in premarket trading.

As growth investors focus on companies with high-end, innovative technologies, Meta Materials has come into focus. This is a company designed to be the next-generation growth stock investors are looking for. The company produces a range of high-performance nano composites and other functional materials powering the explosive technological growth our economy is seeing.

Accordingly, Meta Materials is growing in interest among investors as a “picks and shovels” play on various strong secular catalysts. A speculative pick, Meta Materials provides investors with tremendous growth potential.

However, another key catalyst appears to be driving MMAT stock. Let’s dive into what investors are focusing on right now.

Potential short-squeeze stocks have been taking off once again this past week. For investors in Meta Materials, this is a good thing.

It appears Meta Materials has made the short-squeeze list among many retail traders. However, yesteday, an S3 Partners executive outlined his short-squeeze thesis for MMAT stock. This call, via a CNBC interview, has unsurprisingly emboldened retail traders to jump into MMAT stock.
