Week of 2026-08-31 · AI sentiment across 100 widely-followed US tickers · Sentiment deteriorated this week.
AI sentiment across the 100 most-followed US stocks shifted notably this week, with bullish readings falling to 49 from 71 while bearish readings remained minimal at 3. The moves were driven by sharp reversals in specific names—biotech and streaming stocks like MRNA, REGN, and ROKU saw dramatic sentiment declines of 75-90 percentage points, while names like TEAM, DKNG, and PFE surged with gains of 32-66 points. Price action showed mixed results, with CrowdStrike, ServiceNow, and Microsoft posting notable gains while PayPal and Zoom fell sharply, though historically bearish verdicts have aligned more reliably with subsequent weakness than bullish ones.

Daily average of (bull % − bear %) across 85 tracked tickers, rescaled 0–100. 50 = neutral. Reflects the tone of news coverage, not price predictions — read changes, not levels.
Bullish verdicts (48 tickers): 42% rose over the next 3 trading days · average move +0.6%
Bearish verdicts (4 tickers): 100% fell over the next 3 trading days · average move -0.8%
How this is measured: each ticker's verdict from a week ago is checked against its price move over the first 3 trading days that followed — a deliberately short window, closer to the horizon a sentiment read speaks to before the news cycle can re-rate it. "Rose" / "fell" counts direction only (did it move the way the verdict implied?); the average move shows the magnitude. Neutral verdicts are excluded. This is a backward-looking measure of one snapshot held for three days — it is not a forecast, and past accuracy does not guarantee future results.
