The problem

Investor Relations (IR) and Public Relations (PR) teams at public companies must constantly monitor their stock's performance and market sentiment to effectively manage stakeholder perception. Unexpected and significant changes in trading volume can signal critical market reactions to news (or lack thereof), rumors, or even algorithmic activity, often preceding substantial price movements. Manually tracking these subtle yet impactful shifts is nearly impossible, leaving IR/PR teams reactive instead of proactive during crucial market events.

Failing to detect unusual volume spikes early can lead to being caught off-guard by investor inquiries, media speculation, or even regulatory scrutiny. Without an immediate alert system, teams lose valuable time to prepare informed responses, draft holding statements, or coordinate internal communications. This delay can damage trust, create misinformation, and ultimately impact shareholder confidence and the company's reputation.
