Bull and Bear are the positive and negative share of each company's mentions; the rest are neutral. "Trusted mentions" is the share posted by authors with a real track record. Price is the move over October.
What stood out in October
Alphabet got most of its month in one week. It ranked 8th in September with 243 mentions. In October it drew 895, and 587 of them came from October 26 to 31. On October 28 and 29 alone the accounts we track posted about it 404 times, with bulls and bears close to even on both days. The stock fell 13% on the 29th and ended October down 17.9%. Meta, September's No. 1 at 808 mentions, dropped to 6th with 583.
Five names joined, and the crowd leaned bearish on four of them. Tesla, CoreWeave, Intel, Reddit and Amazon replaced AMD, Nike, Broadcom, Dell and Apple, which placed 11th this month with 308 mentions. CoreWeave drew 253 of its 440 mentions in the week of October 12, 116 of them on October 14, the day it fell 15%. Intel drew 278 of its 397 in the last six days of the month, and Reddit 282 of its 327. Both stocks fell 29% on October 30. Most of the talk about Reddit happened on Reddit: 287 of its 327 mentions came from the subreddits we track.
All six bullish rooms fell, and Tesla rose against its crowd. Alphabet, NVIDIA, Micron, Nebius, Meta and Amazon had more bullish mentions than bearish ones, and all six finished October lower. Of the four rooms that leaned bearish, CoreWeave, Intel and Reddit fell. Tesla rose 12.7%, the only gain in the table, while SPY fell 0.9%. Two of July's ten rose, then seven of August's, eight of September's and one of October's. The raw lean has called some months and missed others. On Tesla, the accounts with a track record split the other way: they were 39 bullish to 9 bearish against a bearish wider room, and they were right.
Nebius again had the most credible room. 36% of its mentions came from authors with a track record, the highest trusted share in the table, as it was in June, July and September. It is one of the neocloud stocks, and 587 of its 712 mentions came from X. Its room was also the most bullish on the list, 79% positive, and the stock fell 34.7%. Its credible accounts hold a bullish position that has not paid yet. Tesla had the thinnest trusted share, 15%, and was the month's only gainer.
How to read this
A mention count is a map of where the news landed. October's map put Alphabet's last week of the month, CoreWeave's slide and the October 30 drops in Intel and Reddit at the top. The bull and bear split shows which way the room leaned, and the trusted share shows how much of that room has a record we can check. None of the three is a forecast on its own. The Quantral score puts them together, giving more weight to authors with a proven track record.
The takeaway
October's table shows where attention went. The read worth keeping sat underneath the counts, in who was talking: on Tesla, the accounts with a record were bullish against a bearish crowd, and they were right. The same board runs weekly: the most mentioned stocks this week. In the Quantral app, every stock you follow carries its score and the posts behind it.
