Why small caps?
Lower analyst coverage. Less institutional attention. Slower price discovery.
That lag is exactly where media sentiment pays. When a narrative shifts, it takes longer to reach the price, so there's more room to be early.
Across ~600 names, the signal held in every market regime from 2023–2025.

Most market-moving news breaks long before it moves the price.
AltHub tested whether you can capture that lead systematically, across 600 US small caps, fully out-of-sample.
The signal didn't just work. It scaled with conviction:
→ All stocks: +10.8% #alpha
→ Top 20: +23.6%
→ Top 10: +34%
The more you trust the strongest #signals, the more edge you capture.

In Feb 2021, a few articles quietly started calling a diabetes drug a "weight-loss" option.
The world caught on in mid-2022.
Our platform saw the story forming 12+ months earlier.
A teardown of the #Ozempic signal.
This teardown ran on a bachelor thesis, built by a student on the same #svEye data our analysts use.
If a student can read a 6-year risk story early, what could your team see?
And it's still unfolding.
2025–26, a new narrative is forming: NAION vision loss (now on the label), gastroparesis litigation, early muscle-loss concerns.
Same weak-signal dynamic. A few reports today → tomorrow's headline.
18 Jun 2024: Chapter 11. The headline. The signal had been readable since August 2023 = roughly 300 days earlier. That gap, between the first open-source warning and the news, is the entire point. We surface the signal, not the post-mortem. Fisker is a receipt. The next one hasn't filed yet.
Fisker filed for Chapter 11 on 18 June 2024. In our data, the distress was readable ~10 months earlier and undeniable a full 7 months before the headline. Here's the receipt, signal by signal.
25 Mar: rescue talks with an automaker collapse; NYSE suspends trading.
23 Apr: a filing flags bankruptcy within 30 days.
29 May: layoffs cut Fisker to a skeleton crew. Every step showed up in open sources before it became a verdict.
