Announcing Public Trends

Explore the popularity of stocks and ETFs on Public over time.

We just launched a new tool, called Public Trends, to provide transparency into the popularity of certain stocks and ETFs in our community over time.

Public Trends is index-based, showing data in two ways:

• Change: Tracks the popularity of a given ticker over time, compared to its past popularity
• Index: Tracks the popularity of a ticker over time, compared to the popularity of other securities in Public

Each chart also plots popularity against the share price.

Since 74% of our community members describe themselves as long-term investors, the trends you’ll find in the tool primarily reflect large-cap companies that tend to attract longer-term investors. At the time we write this, all stocks in the top ten positions have a market cap of over $1 billion, and 8 of 10 are large-cap stocks (market cap over $10 billion).

The goal of Public Trends is to provide data for our members and business strategists that can be used for analysis and to share insights. We’ll continue to evolve the capabilities of this tool to provide even more opportunities to dig deeper into company and financial trends overall.

Have feedback or suggestions? We’re always listening: email us at hello@public.com or give us a shout on Twitter @public.
