專家分析,迷因股投機風潮再起,讓人聯想起數年前的GameStop軋空熱潮。散戶高喊「YOLO」(人生只有一次,You Only Live Once的縮寫),擁抱高風險、孤注一擲的交易策略。
然而,分析人士也示警,迷因股飆漲無基本面可言,往往於暴漲後迅速回落,貿然追高的投資人可能陷入痛苦的虧損。

Sydney Sweeney's jeans ad for American Eagle is breaking the internet and the stock market
She's helping American Eagle go viral again—but not without controversy Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to the spotlight. But her latest campaign with American Eagle—featuring her in head-to-toe denim and little else—is drawing attention for reasons beyond fashion. Launched as the face of the brand's Fall 2025 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' campaign, the actress sparked a social media firestorm within hours. Supporters praised her nostalgic styling and laid-back confidence. Critics, meanwhile, pointed fingers at the messaging, the marketing tone, and the not-so-subtle wordplay. A campaign that caused whiplash online The American Eagle campaign debuted July 23, accompanied by massive 3D billboards in Times Square, interactive Snapchat filters, and behind-the-scenes content showing Sweeney styled in everything from denim maxiskirts to low-rise flares. The vibe was Y2K-meets-modern-girl-next-door, leaning into Sweeney's known off-screen preference for casual jeans and sweats. But it wasn't the styling that grabbed people—it was the slogan: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' Within hours, social media erupted with debates over the double meaning, especially as 'jeans' sounded suspiciously close to 'genes.' The result? Viral traction for sure—but also backlash, some of it sharp. A pun that many didn't find funny At face value, the campaign reads as playful—a reference to denim and Sweeney's long-standing relationship with American Eagle. But online commentators quickly flagged a deeper issue: the slogan's similarity to 'great genes' carried uncomfortable echoes of eugenics-era language, especially when paired with a thin, white, conventionally attractive actress as the face of 'greatness.' Publications like Salon and B&T Australia highlighted how certain language, even unintentionally, can reinforce damaging ideals about physical superiority. One Reddit thread accused the ad of being 'racist, sexist, and eugenics-coded.' Others pointed out the tone felt dated and out of sync with American Eagle's past inclusive branding. While some fans dismissed the criticism as overblown, others couldn't unsee the problematic implications. 'It's not that she doesn't look great in denim,' one viral tweet read. 'It's that the campaign implies she's the standard for it.' Denim, donations, and a stock market surge Controversy aside, the campaign had tangible impacts. American Eagle's stock surged between 15–18% in the days following the launch, with online chatter from Reddit and Stocktwits framing the company as a new 'meme stock.' Sweeney's influence extended beyond social media. She helped co-design 'The Sydney Jean,' a limited-edition butterfly-stamped style with proceeds going to Crisis Text Line, supporting survivors of domestic violence. American Eagle confirmed that 100% of profits from the jeans will be donated. Fashion critics applauded the butterfly motif as a subtle nod to growth and transformation, but the campaign's tone remained polarizing. Some praised Sweeney's ability to blend style with cause-driven work, while others questioned whether the messaging matched the mission. A viral win or a marketing misstep? There's no question the campaign succeeded in getting attention—but not all press is good press. American Eagle positioned the collaboration as a bold return to pop culture relevance. What they got was a national conversation on race, beauty standards, and brand responsibility. Despite the backlash, the campaign has boosted engagement and brought new eyes to the brand—especially Gen Z shoppers nostalgic for early 2000s fashion but keenly aware of social impact. Whether that leads to sustained sales or deeper scrutiny remains to be seen. As for Sydney Sweeney, her image continues to dominate timelines. But this time, the question isn't just what she's wearing. It's what her presence represents—and what brands are really saying when they try to be clever.

The Marketing Magic Behind Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle Campaign
In the week after American Eagle dropped its ad featuring Sydney Sweeney via New York City's Times Square, its stock leapt by 18 percent. While pop culture rarely distracts from business fundamentals on Wall Street, this campaign certainly struck a chord, with retail investors chiming in on Reddit threads about Sweeney's undeniable sex appeal. Other observers questioned whether a brand targeting teens and tweens should lean into such overt sexiness in its marketing. But whether onlookers were intrigued or offended by the racy nature of the ads, Sweeney has no doubt driven much-needed attention to the retailer, which has struggled to deliver compelling assortments in recent seasons. In May, it withdrew its annual forecast in light of macroeconomic uncertainties. 'There's a consumer hunger for more risqué, bold campaigns, especially after a long period where brands were very risk-averse,' said Rebecca Rom-Frank, senior marketing strategist at insights firm WGSN. '[American Eagle] has figured out a way to make this work by partnering with Sydney,' she added. Sweeney has proven to be a lightning rod for brand marketing in recent months. In May, she was the star of another viral campaign for men's soap brand Dr. Squatch, with which she collaborated on a new product called 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss.' Industry insiders said the stunt helped Dr. Squatch get acquired by Unilever for $1.5 billion in the following month. American Eagle's campaign, called 'Sydney Sweeney Has Good Jeans,' has achieved a more balanced approach. While leaning into the actress's trademark seductiveness, the denim campaign also highlights her sense of humour with videos of the actress 'auditioning' for the ad, driving a vintage car and making puns directly to the camera. It's this self-aware charm that's succeeded in resonating with American Eagle's young shoppers, said the retailer's chief marketing officer Craig Brommers. By working with the star ahead of her appearance in the highly anticipated third season of 'Euphoria,' the campaign is also critical as part of a wider strategy in driving cultural relevance among American Eagle's key Gen Z demographic, aligning the brand with a sense of relatability and nostalgic Americana. '[We're] really trying to play into the duality of Sydney Sweeney, of [an] accessible girl next door … to someone that's defining style and defining culture,' said Brommers. The Sweeney campaign comes on the heels of recent partnerships with tennis player Coco Gauff and 'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega as American Eagle further establishes itself as an 'entertainment destination,' said Rom-Frank. It has also partnered with TV series 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' As part of its most recent campaign, Sweeney created a denim style, the 'Sydney Jean,' riffing on American Eagle's 'Dreamy Drape' jeans. The piece is embroidered with a butterfly on the back pocket to highlight domestic violence awareness, and 100 percent of proceeds from the style go towards the Crisis Text Line, a cause of Sweeney's choosing. The retailer also partnered directly with her personal stylist, Molly Dickson, for the campaign — both Sweeney and Dickson have their own 'edit' of the collection on the American Eagle website. In rolling out the campaign, American Eagle has several activations planned over the course of the next four weeks, which Brommers referred to as the retailer's 'Super Bowl' season as shoppers prepare for back-to-school, during which time it sells a pair of jeans every fifty seconds. Not only does it hope to continue to engage its core Gen-Z demographic but the retailer also aims to acquire new customers both among Gen-Z and flanker demographics, including Gen Alpha and Millennials. 'We have to programme these campaigns as if we are programming as an entertainment company,' said Brommers.
