On Friday, Microvision shares closed 36.76% higher at $17.97.

Why It Matters:Microvision attracted 823 mentions on WallStreetBets on Friday. It ran up alongside other technology stocks like Advanced Micro Devices Inc, and NVIDIA Corp.

The company’s stock broke out of a bullish flag pattern, as per an earlier report.

The pattern is said to occur when the stock sees large gains and starts to pull back. Theoretically, a large push upward is expected shortly after such a pattern emerges.

WallStreetBets was alsoresponsible for short squeezesin Nokia Oyj,AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc, and Blackberry Ltd earlier in the year.

On Sunday,a post on the forum laid out the case for Microvision claiming that the company’s LiDAR technology’s smaller size and lower cost made it appealing.

The post also touched on Microsoft Corporation’s use of Microvision technology in their HoloLens 2 mixed reality product.

“The uses of MicroVision tech and almost infinite. MVIS owns 55 [patents] and 90+ pending patents.With most of those very high tech patents that can be HUGE revenue income for them,” as per u/Justnmiller.

Overall on WallStreetBets, electric vehicles are dominating the discussion followed by cannabis, cryptocurrencies, and betting, according to Quiver Quantitative data.
