How AltIndex measures “trending”

Every list above is built from a specific data signal, refreshed continuously. Social-media lists rank stocks by mention volume across each platform; performance lists rank by intraday price move or share volume; insider lists rank by Form 4 filings in the last 30 days. We don’t hand-pick which stocks appear — the ranking is what the underlying data shows right now.

Each list ships with the same alt-data signal set: social mentions, web traffic, app downloads, hiring activity, insider transactions, sentiment, and the AltIndex AI Score — so you can pivot from “what’s trending” to “is the underlying business actually strong?” in one click.

FAQ - Trending Stocks

A stock is trending when its mention volume on social platforms, its share volume, or its price move ranks notably above its recent baseline. Trending isn’t the same as a buy signal — it’s a real-time read on where attention is concentrating, which is useful context for any investment thesis.

Social-media lists (WallStreetBets, Reddit, X, StockTwits) refresh every 5–15 minutes throughout US market hours. Performance lists (top/bottom performers, volume) refresh every 15 minutes during the session. Insider-activity lists refresh daily as Form 4 filings land. AI Score is refreshed daily.

WallStreetBets is r/wallstreetbets specifically (high-risk, meme-driven, retail-flow). Reddit is the broader finance Reddit-sphere (r/stocks, r/investing, r/SecurityAnalysis — more measured). StockTwits is a finance-specific social network with cashtag-based discussion. Each surfaces a different slice of retail attention.

No. A trending stock is one capturing real-time attention — that’s information, not a recommendation. AltIndex publishes the alt-data context alongside (AI Score, fundamentals, insider activity) so you can evaluate whether the trend reflects real business momentum or speculation.

A proprietary 0–100 score that combines 10,000+ alternative-data and financial signals into one number, refreshed daily. Higher scores reflect a stronger balance of bullish signals across the underlying inputs; lower scores reflect the opposite. Useful as a cross-check on whether the data supports the social attention.

Bloomberg and Yahoo Finance rank trending mostly by visit volume to their own pages. AltIndex ranks by the underlying alt-data signal directly — Reddit mentions, X mentions, insider trades, web traffic. Different signal, different list, different stocks surface.
