The most mentioned stocks last week, scored: Sep 7–11
By Maya Koeva · September 14, 2026 · 8 min read
The accounts Quantral tracks posted 1,631 mentions from 574 distinct authors over the week of September 7 to 11, a four-session week with Labor Day at the front of it. The holiday is the useful part. Markets were closed on Monday and the rooms kept talking, which means for once we can see which crowds formed a view before the tape gave them one. Two did. Two more showed up with the move, one bought a pop that faded, and the best-timed call of the week was bearish.
The board
Score is the 7-day Quantral signal score as of September 14; trusted is the share of each name's mentions that came from authors with a graded track record. Price moves run Friday close to Friday close, September 4 to 11.

Two rooms that formed on the holiday
Bloom Energy's week started on Monday afternoon, with the market shut. A "Bloom Energy YOLO" thread on Reddit argued index inclusion, Oracle's earnings, and whether a 58% bump was the top, while on X three tracked accounts, michaelsikand, CKCapitalxx, and ren_stocks, made the bull case on deployment speed and guidance for roughly 100% growth. The Monday bucket ran 15 bullish to 6 bearish. Tuesday, the first session of the week, Bloom rose 9.6%. Friday it rose another 6.7% after Oracle named fuel cells for on-site power in New Mexico.
The Monday room was not the start of the story. Bloom had run from $201.45 on August 21 to $252.87 by September 4, and over those two weeks the tracked accounts went 25 bullish to 1 bearish on it. CKCapitalxx's Tuesday post put the gain since the callout at 33%. By Friday the stock was 36.9% above its August 21 close, and the graded room, which has backed Bloom since the fuel-cell autopsy, was booking it: daniel_koss trimmed after the position hit 30% of the portfolio. Score 68: the crowd that joined this week was a quarter bearish, half of it Reddit arguing the top was in.
Nike's room formed the same way, in the other direction. Sunday and Monday, with nothing trading, a Reddit thread went 22 bearish to 5 bullish on the brand: down 80% from its high, marketing that shareholders disliked, a turnaround the thread did not believe in. Nike then fell in each of the week's first three sessions, 4.6% from Friday's close to Thursday's, and bounced half a percent on Friday. The week's most bearish room preceded the week's cleanest decline. Three weeks ago this same room was 57% bearish and the stock closed the week three cents higher; we wrote that the crowd argued and the tape abstained. This week the tape stopped abstaining. Nike is down 8.8% since that scorecard and its score has gone from 63 to 46, the lowest on the board. Only 15% of the room is trusted and the room held one graded call, so this is a right-and-early crowd rather than a right-and-credible one.
Two crowds that arrived with the move
Meta was the loudest name of the week and almost all of it arrived on Wednesday. Tuesday's bucket ran 7 bullish to 12 bearish, mostly Reddit memes about the Metaverse and the CEO. Then Meta launched its Muse AI assistant and the stock rose 6.6% on Wednesday, with JPMorgan's upgrade to an $820 target following on Thursday. The Wednesday bucket ran 41 bullish to 10 bearish, and the tracked accounts, who had been quiet all week, went 8 to 0 in it and 5 to 0 the day after: michaelsikand called it his largest position, CKCapitalxx his favorite megacap. Fourteen graded calls for the week, zero bearish, one of them before the move.
The score reads Wednesday's crowd as a 78, up from the 76 it carried three weeks ago when the room was half bearish and the stock fell 6.8%. Meta is up 17.8% since that scorecard. The graded accounts were right to be bullish and they were bullish after the fact, which is the pattern to watch for on a name where the credible voices and the headlines arrive in the same hour.
Intel is the same shape at a smaller size. The Monday bucket held six bullish mentions. Intel rose 9.0% on Tuesday, an analyst upgrade to Outperform with a $120 target landed with it, and the Tuesday bucket ran 15 bullish to 2, most of it around the open. From Tuesday's close the stock gave back 3.1% over the rest of the week. The score sits at 48, the second-lowest on the board for a room that was nine to one bullish. A crowd that arrives during a 9% day, a third of it trusted, has reacted to a candle, and we would rather the score read it that way than chase it.
The most credible room bought a pop that faded
Nebius made the board again, and again it carried the highest trusted share on it: 70% of its 76 mentions came from accounts with a record, and the graded calls ran 42 to 1. Three weeks ago that room lost 21.1% in a week. This time the stock rose 7.7% on Tuesday, the first session of the week, on a fireside chat that put the order book out to the first half of 2028 and a Truist initiation with a $355 target. The Tuesday bucket ran 32 bullish to 2, 26 of the 32 from graded accounts. Then the stock fell for three sessions, 7.9% from Tuesday's close, and finished the week down 0.8%.
The honest ledger: since the scorecard that caught the 21% week, Nebius is up 2.5%, its score is down from 81 to 74, and its graded room has not moved. Held conviction, still unpaid. We keep listing it because a room this credible staying unpaid this long is the test the product has to pass in public, and because the alternative, listing it only once it pays, is how sentiment pages usually get written.
The rest of the board
Apple was the week's split decision. The foldable iPhone launched on Wednesday and the room divided down the middle, 43% bullish to 38% bearish, with the tracked accounts at 8 to 6. jukan05 called the phone ugly, michaelsikand said the market had faded the launch and admitted he was wrong, DivesTech called it the start of the consumer AI era, and amitisinvesting asked who was buying at $2,000. The stock closed Wednesday down a third of a percent, then rose 3.6% on Thursday and 1.7% on Friday. The room argued and the tape sided with the bulls a day late. The score held at 75 through the argument.
Uber's room was 58% bullish, 11% trusted, 53 of its 64 mentions from Reddit, and wrong for the week: the stock fell 3.5% on Tuesday and 2.8% on Wednesday while a Reddit thread made the case on insider buying and layoffs. The insider argument got stronger on Thursday, when the CEO's roughly $10 million open-market purchase hit the tracked accounts' feeds and the Thursday bucket ran 8 to 1, but the stock still closed the week down 5.4%. A low-trust room with a score of 71 is a room the score is giving the benefit of the doubt. That bet is on the record.
Nvidia drew 76 mentions, 59% bullish, and fell 5.1%, with the biggest bar of its week arriving on Thursday's red close. The three-week grade of the room that called the August print is due Thursday, and Nvidia's week belongs in that piece rather than this one.
The best-timed call missed the table
Dell drew 11 mentions, all bullish, 82% of them from trusted accounts, and the score has it at 84, the highest of any name in this piece. The calls came Tuesday and Wednesday, an analyst target raise and an all-time high, then Dell fell 5.3% on Thursday and the room did not blink: the two mentions during the drop were an oversubscribed $5 billion bond deal and an RBC initiation at $640, both read as bullish. Friday the stock rose 12.0% to $567.29. The caveat is the sample: eleven mentions, most of them one account, epictrades1, who was long and added on the pullback. One tracked account being right through a one-day dip is a good week for that account, and the score's 84 rests on it.
The counter-example is Vertiv. Ten bullish mentions to one, 55% trusted, and the same buy-the-dip shape: the room formed on Wednesday evening after a 9.6% drop, the stock fell another 5.6% on Thursday, recovered 3.6% on Friday, and ended the week down 8.4%. Same conviction, same score range at 85, opposite result so far. Both are on the record; neither is resolved.
The takeaway
The holiday gave this week a control group. Bloom's room and Nike's room had a view before the market could give them one, and both got the week they described. Meta's and Intel's crowds got their view from the tape, and the score priced Intel's accordingly. Nebius's credible room was early again and unpaid again. A leaderboard of the most mentioned stocks on Reddit and X tells you where the attention went; the timing tells you whether the attention was worth anything, and the score exists to make that distinction before the week is over.
Methodology: mention counts are subject mentions across the accounts Quantral tracks, bucketed in rolling 24-hour windows matching the in-app chart, bucket days September 7 through 11. "Trusted" means the author's credibility score is above 0.5; "tracked" or "graded" accounts additionally have at least ten lifetime graded calls.
