Spikes in news mentions often coincide with heavier trading volume and short-term volatility, but mention volume alone is not a reliable directional predictor, both good and bad news raise the count. That is why AltIndex combines news mentions with 25+ other signals, including Reddit, Stocktwits, and sentiment, in the GOOG AI Score.

News mentions track coverage from institutional and mainstream financial media, while social mentions on Reddit, Stocktwits, and X track retail investor discussion. The two often spike together around earnings or major events, but can diverge when retail interest moves independently of the media cycle.
