Surge

Monitor Company Stock Volume for Investor Relations Platforms

Investor Relations platforms need to keep their clients informed about significant trading activity in their stock. Surge provides real-time alerts for unusual volume spikes for specific company tickers.

The problem

Publicly traded companies rely on their Investor Relations teams and platforms to accurately communicate market activity to stakeholders. Manually tracking daily trading volume for a company's stock, comparing it against historical averages, and identifying genuine anomalies is a time-consuming and error-prone process. This often leads to delayed insights, making it difficult to proactively address investor inquiries or report on market sentiment.

Building an automated system to consistently monitor specific tickers for unusual volume spikes requires dedicated engineering effort, integrating with expensive market data feeds, and developing robust alerting logic, detracting from core IR communication responsibilities.

How Surge solves it

1
Receive automated alerts when your client's company stock experiences unusual trading volume.
2
Proactively inform investor relations teams about significant market interest or potential news leaks.
3
Focus on client communication while Surge handles the continuous market data monitoring.
