Week of 2026-08-17 · AI sentiment across 100 widely-followed US tickers · Overall sentiment held steady this week.
Bullish sentiment held steady this week at 64% of the 100 stocks tracked, with notable conviction shifts including CRM's sharp recovery from bearish to bullish and several mega-cap reversals (META, WMT, HD, JNJ) moving from bullish to neutral. The biggest sentiment gainers were software and semiconductor names like SNOW, CRM, and QCOM, while database and industrials stocks like MDB and PM saw the steepest declines, though this didn't prevent memory and cloud stocks (MU, DDOG, TEAM) from posting the week's strongest price gains. Looking back, last week's bullish verdicts showed follow-through with about 7 in 10 rising over the next three days, while bearish calls proved more mixed.

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 (61 tickers): 69% rose over the next 3 trading days · average move +0.7%
Bearish verdicts (7 tickers): 57% fell over the next 3 trading days · average move +0%
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.
