FAQs: Price vs. Sentiment Page

What is Stock Sentiment and How is it Measured?

Stock market news sentiment generally refers to the overall tone or mood of online chatter about an individual stock, topics pertaining to stocks, of the market as a whole. The term sentiment broadly refers to any measurable indicators of mood, tone, or attitude being expressed about a given subject. This sentiment can (and often does) have an impact on the attitudes and behaviors of investors. For a more complete overview on stock market news sentiment, refer to this blog post.

Measuring news sentiment: The Uptrends sentiment metric is a weighted average of the sentiment expressed across all relevant sentences about a given stock, entity, or topic or a given period of time. For each sentence (snippet), sentiment is a compilation of indicators that each measure some aspect of a given text snippet’s tone and quality. The composite sentiment score is normalized on a scale from -100 to +100, where -100 represents maximum pessimistic (bearish) sentiment, and +100 represents maximum optimistic (bullish) sentiment. For more information about how Uptrends sentiment is calculated, refer to this other blog post.
