Case Study
Apple Case Study
As we analyze large real time changes in Act Analytics’ news-based ESG sentiment scores for stocks, we identify cases that merit exploration. While it is natural to assume that the market responds extremely fast to emerging news, we see cases--even with high-profile companies--in which the market appears to take significant periods of time to process the significance of events as the news unfolds. We examine these events using Act Analytics’ ESG Sentiment Scores which uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to diagnose trusted independent media stories as being positive or negative on a stock.
