What is a Buzz Score?

A Buzz Score is a single number between 0 and 100 that captures how much of the internet's stock-talk a given ticker is getting right now. The higher the score, the more concentrated the conversation. NVIDIA at 92 means NVIDIA is one of the loudest names on the tape today; a quiet utility at 14 means almost nobody is talking about it.

01 — SectionWhat it actually measures

Buzz Score blends two signals: raw mention volume across public investor communities (Reddit's wallstreetbets, stocktwits-style boards, financial Twitter), and the 24-hour change in that volume. A stock can score high two ways — by being persistently talked-about, or by suddenly catching fire.

02 — SectionHow it's calculated

We log-scale today's mention count so a few mega-mentioned names don't dominate the whole leaderboard, then add a momentum factor based on the change vs. yesterday. The two are blended roughly 70/30 in favor of volume, with a small lift for stocks at the top of the rank list. The result is clamped to 0–100.

03 — SectionThe Buzz scale

• 0–29 Quiet — barely on anyone's radar.
• 30–49 Light — niche interest, often a single thread driving it.
• 50–69 Active — meaningful daily chatter, worth watching.
• 70–84 High — one of the day's clear focal points.
• 85–100 Peak — saturating the feed; news or earnings usually behind it.

04 — SectionHow to use it

Treat Buzz Score as a starting point, not a verdict. A spike from Light to Peak in a day almost always corresponds to a real event — an earnings beat, an analyst note, an FDA decision, a viral short thesis. Cross-reference the news links on the stock page before acting on anything.

Attention is the most-leading indicator in markets — and the easiest to misread.

05 — SectionWhat it doesn't tell you

Buzz Score is sentiment-blind. A stock can have a 90 because everyone loves it or because everyone hates it. It also doesn't say anything about valuation, growth, balance-sheet strength, or whether the buzz is informed. Use it the way you'd use a trending-topics list on any other platform: as a map of what's being discussed, not a list of what's good.
