This week in stock sentiment

Week of 2026-08-03 · AI sentiment across 100 widely-followed US tickers · Sentiment broadened bullish this week.

AI sentiment readings strengthened this week with 63 of 100 stocks turning bullish versus 58 last week, driven by sharp reversals in mega-cap names like Microsoft, Google, and Walmart alongside notable gains in growth stocks like Zoom and Lucid. On the flip side, sentiment deteriorated sharply for Roku, Shopify, and Micron, which saw bullish readings drop by 50-65 percentage points. Last week's data showed that bearish-rated stocks proved more predictive of near-term weakness, with 60% declining over the following three trading days versus only 37% of bullish-rated stocks moving higher.

◎ Did last week's verdicts pan out?

Bullish verdicts (57 tickers): 37% rose over the next 3 trading days · average move -0.4%
Bearish verdicts (10 tickers): 60% fell over the next 3 trading days · average move -1.4%
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.
