The OG Score and its factors

OG Score

The OG Score condenses seven factors — price momentum, volume signal, news sentiment, social sentiment, 52-week position, sector momentum, and sentiment momentum — into one observational reading on a −100 to +100 scale. Higher readings mean the observed evidence currently leans positive; lower readings mean it leans negative. When a factor has no reliable data it sits out and its influence is redistributed across the remaining factors, so a score is always built only from evidence we trust that day. The score describes what is happening around a stock; it does not forecast prices and it is not investment advice.

Price Momentum

The price momentum factor observes the stock’s own recent trading: the direction and strength of its price changes over recent sessions. A higher reading reflects recent gains, a lower reading reflects recent declines. Like all factors it is descriptive of what has already happened, not a projection of what happens next.

Volume Signal

The volume signal factor compares today’s trading volume with the stock’s own typical volume. An elevated reading means the stock is trading unusually actively relative to its own history — which can accompany both rallies and declines — while a muted reading means attention is ordinary. It measures activity, not direction.

News Sentiment

The news sentiment factor reads recent articles that mention the company — from wire services, financial media, investor-relations feeds, and SEC filings coverage — and grades each one’s tone with a language model. The factor reflects the average tone and volume of that recent coverage. Only genuinely company-related articles count: ambiguous ticker matches are excluded by design rather than guessed at.

Social Sentiment

The social sentiment factor observes recent X and Reddit posts about the stock and weighs their tone by the engagement they received, so a handful of ignored posts cannot move the reading the way a widely-shared conversation can. Thin conversation is treated as unreliable: when there is too little genuine discussion to trust, the factor reports nothing rather than amplifying noise, and its influence redistributes to the other factors. See also Social Pulse, which displays this data in detail.

52-Week Position

The 52-week position factor locates today’s price inside the stock’s own trailing one-year range. A reading near the top means the stock trades close to its 52-week high; near the bottom means close to its 52-week low. It is a description of where the price currently sits in its own recent history.

Sector Momentum

The sector momentum factor observes how the stock’s sector peers in our universe are trading. When an entire group moves together — miners, AI infrastructure, treasuries — that shared move says something different from a single stock moving alone, and this factor captures it. Each stock’s sector is assigned from its primary business.

Sentiment Momentum

The sentiment momentum factor compares the stock’s current sentiment reading with its own reading in the recent past, from our recorded daily history. It captures the direction of change — a mood that is improving, deteriorating, or holding steady — rather than the level itself. Because it needs history, a stock without enough recorded days (for example, one recently added to coverage) reports nothing until its history rebuilds.

Social Pulse

Social Pulse

Social Pulse is the per-stock view of recent social conversation, built from X and Reddit activity over the last 24 hours: total engagement, post counts, per-platform tone with positive/neutral/negative breakdowns, the most-engaged accounts, and the most-engaged individual posts. When the underlying feed is unreliable for a stock — frozen, misattributed, or too thin — the affected parts of the panel say so explicitly or step aside rather than displaying suspect numbers.

Interactions

Interactions count the total engagement received in the last 24 hours by social posts mentioning the stock: likes, replies, reposts, comments, and votes combined, across X and Reddit. It measures how much attention the conversation is getting, independent of whether that conversation is positive or negative.

Contributors

Contributors is the count of distinct social accounts that posted about the stock in the last 24 hours. A high interaction count spread across many contributors reflects broad conversation; the same count concentrated in a few accounts reflects a narrow one.

Market and fundamental metrics

P/E (ttm)

The price-to-earnings ratio shown here is trailing: today’s share price divided by the company’s GAAP earnings per share over the trailing twelve months, as reported. When a company is unprofitable over that period we display a dash rather than a negative or inflated ratio, because a P/E has no meaningful interpretation without positive earnings. Many companies in this universe are in heavy investment phases, so a dash is common and is itself information.

Latest Earnings EPS

The EPS shown with Latest Earnings is normalized: adjusted to exclude one-time gains and charges so quarters are comparable with each other and with analyst estimates. It is not the GAAP EPS figure printed in the company’s own quarterly filing, and the two can differ substantially — for example when a company books large unrealized gains or losses on assets it holds. Neither number is wrong; they answer different questions.

Short Interest

Short interest is the number of shares sold short, as reported by broker-dealers to FINRA. FINRA publishes this data on a twice-monthly settlement schedule, so the number shown is always a snapshot from the most recent publication date — not a live figure — and can lag current positioning by up to several weeks. Sudden position changes between publication dates will not appear until the next report.

RSI

The Relative Strength Index compares how much a stock rose on its recent up days against how much it fell on its down days, over a lookback window of trading days, producing a 0-100 reading. We use the industry-standard Wilder formulation, so a reading here matches the same indicator on any major charting platform. The default window is 14 trading days — the universal convention — with a faster 7-day variant available that reacts sooner but swings harder. By convention, readings above 70 describe unusually one-sided buying and below 30 unusually one-sided selling; these are descriptive conventions about recent price action, not signals to act, and volatile stocks can hold stretched readings for extended periods.

Vs Sector

Vs Sector compares the stock’s own price change with the equal-weight average change of its sector peers in our universe, for today’s session and year-to-date. A positive reading means the stock outperformed its group over that span; a negative reading means it lagged. It separates a stock moving on its own story from one simply riding a sector-wide move. Purely descriptive of past prices — it is not part of the OG Score and implies nothing about what follows.

Data integrity states

Quarantined (data state)

When automated checks find a factor’s upstream data behaving unreliably for a stock — a provider value frozen in place while activity moves, or a feed whose attribution to the company cannot be trusted — that factor is quarantined: held out of the OG Score entirely, with its influence redistributed to the remaining factors. Quarantine clears automatically once the data verifiably recovers. We would rather report a score built from fewer trusted inputs than one contaminated by a bad feed.

Stale (data state)

When a fresh reading is temporarily unavailable — an upstream outage, a rate limit, a refresh that hasn’t reached this stock yet — panels show the most recent real value along with its timestamp rather than going blank or fabricating a substitute. The timestamp is the honesty mechanism: it lets you judge how current the number is. Data that is too old to trust is dropped rather than displayed.
