About ChipSentiment
A live board tracking price and market sentiment across 34 US-listed companies that supply the AI build-out - the chips, the optics between them, the memory they need, the clouds renting them out, the equipment that makes them and the power that runs them.
The rule this site is built around
Never display a number the site cannot stand behind. That sounds obvious and it is not: the easy way to build a finance site is to fill every cell, estimate what is missing, and let a stale value sit where a fresh one should be. This site does the opposite. If a value is unavailable it shows a dash. If an input to the market sentiment score is missing it contributes zero, never its last known value. If the data feed is unreachable when the site rebuilds, the build fails and nothing is published rather than putting placeholder prices across 34 pages.
A missing number costs nothing. A wrong number costs the whole proposition, because the entire site is a claim about trustworthy data.
Who publishes it
ChipSentiment is independently owned and operated. It is not a licensed financial adviser, a broker or a research house, and nothing on it is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. It is a market-data site: it describes how these stocks are behaving and publishes exactly how it reaches that description.
That independence is the point of the whole exercise. No advertiser, broker or sponsor can pay to move a stock's position on the board or change its market sentiment score - the board is ordered by market capitalisation and the score comes from a formula published in full.

Where every number comes from
- Live quotes - Finnhub, refreshed every 30 seconds while the board is open.
- Daily price history and 52-week ranges - Yahoo Finance. One-day and five-day changes are derived from the daily closes rather than any provider's own change field, which has been wrong at times.
- Headlines - Finnhub company news, shown for context. Coverage is not an input to the market sentiment score: most of these companies are not written about daily, so on a typical day two thirds of the board would score nothing from it, and the names it did speak for were the ones already scoring highest on momentum.
- Reddit mentions - ApeWisdom, aggregating the main stock subreddits over a rolling 24 hours.
- Market sentiment history - recorded by this site from August 2026 onward, so longer-run charts fill in over time rather than being backfilled with estimates.
Why the charts skip weekends
Every input to the score is a price or a volume, and neither moves while the market is shut. A Saturday reading is therefore not merely close to Friday's, it is Friday's exactly. Charting it would put a flat two-day step in every week and turn "change since the previous reading" into Sunday against Saturday: two looks at the same close, presented as a move nobody could have traded.
So every point on a sentiment chart here is one trading session, and the step between two points is one market day against the one before it. Monday's change is measured against Friday.
How the market sentiment score works
It is a weighted composite of six price-based measures. Each one is scaled to a share of the score and compressed rather than clipped, so no single input saturates and a larger move always scores higher than a smaller one.
Everything is then normalised onto 0-100, where 50 is neutral. Because every input comes from price and volume, any score this site has ever published can be rebuilt from a daily bar series by anyone who wants to check it.
It describes behaviour, not value. A high score means momentum, relative strength and participation are elevated at once - as consistent with a crowded trade near its top as with the start of a run. The full formula is published here, including what each input is worth and where the score has been wrong.
How this site makes money
At the moment, it does not. There are no affiliate relationships and the broker links earn nothing - they are plain links, and the disclosure says exactly that. Display advertising may appear in future and paid placements may be sold, and if either happens they will be labelled.
What will not change: ranking is not for sale. The board is ordered by market capitalisation and the market sentiment score comes from a published formula. No advertiser, broker or sponsor can raise a stock's position or alter its score. Full disclosure.
What this site does not do
- It does not give investment advice, price targets or ratings.
- It does not publish AI-written headlines, invented market caps or estimated figures of any kind.
- It does not cover the model companies or the hyperscalers. Those are demand for AI silicon, not supply.
- It does not claim the market sentiment score predicts returns. It has not been shown to, and it is not presented as though it has.
Common questions
Who runs ChipSentiment?
ChipSentiment is an independently owned and operated market-data publisher. It is not a licensed adviser, a broker, or a research house, and it does not accept payment to change what appears on the board.
Does ChipSentiment make money from the links on the site?
No. There are currently no affiliate relationships and the broker links earn nothing. If that ever changes, the disclosure changes with it and every paid link is labelled. Ranking is set by market capitalisation and by the published sentiment formula, and is not for sale.
Where does the data come from?
Live quotes from Finnhub, daily price history from Yahoo Finance, Reddit mention counts from ApeWisdom, and company headlines from Finnhub's news feed. Market sentiment history is stored from August 2026 onward, so the longer-run charts fill in over time.
What happens when a number is unavailable?
The site shows a dash. A missing input contributes zero to the market sentiment score rather than a stale value, and the nightly build aborts rather than publish placeholder prices across the site.
