AAPLBounce-0.4%$4343.9BMISMATCH
Move is -0.4% (noise); the headline is a Synopsys upgrade that merely mentions an 'Apple opportunity' — not an Apple catalyst.
ABBVBounce+0.9%$410.0BNEWS-NONE
Up 0.9% (noise) on a 'buy or sell at $230' opinion piece with no actual catalyst.
AGIBounce-3.5%$13.0BTHEME
Down 3.5% while the headline is a BofA bullish-gold call — a sector/theme note that doesn't explain the modest down move.
AMDBounce-7.7%$830.0BMISMATCH
AMD off 7.7% on a broad 'Nvidia falls, tech selloff' macro headline, not a company-specific event.
MUBounce-10.8%$1218.2BMISMATCH
Micron down 10.8% on a broad 'tech rout' macro headline despite huge prior EPS/Sales growth — index/memory selloff, not a fresh MU catalyst.
NVDABounce-2.7%$4911.4BMISMATCH
A BioNeMo toolkit product announcement is minor and positive, yet NVDA is down 2.7% — the headline doesn't drive the move.
PLTRBounce+0.8%$288.8BTHEME
Up 0.8% (noise) on a macro 'rotation not liquidation' Nasdaq piece, with no Palantir-specific catalyst.
SMCIBounce-6.5%$21.5BMISMATCH
A positive edge-AI/Intel platform PR while SMCI is down 6.5% — the headline contradicts the move, which is tape-driven.

ZETABounceNonenone·—+6.3%3.6613.81%1.41$4.9B74.28%45.37%49.88%MISMATCH
Up 6.3% on RVOL 3.66 but headline is a market-roundup that only notes Zeta 'rises' — no company catalyst explains the move.
BNLBounceNonenone·—+5.8%0.004.96%0.45$4.2B93.55%175.03%8.25%MISMATCH
Net-lease REIT up 5.8% on RVOL 0.00 while the cited headline is AMD/Adobe analyst calls — unrelated to BNL.
TNETBounceGovernancefiller·—+5.1%0.023.62%2.51$2.1B96.86%9.16%-3.77%MISMATCH
Move is just a routine quarterly dividend declaration on dead volume (RVOL 0.02), not a thesis-changing event.
RNGSIPNonefiller·—+5.0%0.0313.01%2.41$3.1B102.27%410.13%5.25%THEME
Real product news (AIR Pro agentic-AI expansion) but it is an incremental feature ride on the AI theme, not a binding contract or earnings break.
TBBBSIPEarningsearnings·mixed+5.0%0.008.40%1.81$5.3B54.47%-609.74%55.09%CLEAN
Q1 earnings drive it with Sales +55% but EPS deeply negative (-609.7%), so the print is real but mixed rather than explosively clean.
INFQBounceThemetheme·—+4.7%4.862.14%1.66$3.2B14.96%-63925.00%THEME
Up 4.7% on RVOL 4.86 purely as a quantum-basket move ('Quantum Stocks Defy the Selloff'), with no Infleqtion-specific catalyst.
PGNYBounceNonefiller·—+4.6%0.007.35%0.92$2.2B103.14%69.57%1.38%MISMATCH
A self-published Progyny 'study' PR on RVOL 0.00 is marketing filler that does not justify a 4.6% gap.
PSASIPM&A (acquirer)definitive·small+4.4%0.004.23%12.70$58.7B87.07%33.10%2.92%ACQUIRER
Public Storage is the acquirer buying Public Storage Canada — a strategic but small market-entry deal, so upside isn't capped but the move is incremental for a $59B cap.
PBABounceThemetheme·—+4.1%0.001.17%1.08$28.1B57.70%5.06%-4.04%THEME
Pembina rises on a generic 'Canadian energy pipelines' theme article on RVOL 0.00, not a Pembina-specific catalyst.
IBMBounceThemetheme·—+4.1%2.303.26%12.53$246.8B66.02%14.44%9.46%THEME
IBM up 4.1% on RVOL 2.30 riding the quantum-basket headline, with no discrete IBM catalyst behind the gap.

PRIMSIP-36.5%$3.7BANALYST
Down 36.5% on a real forecast cut with an analyst saying the name is now tough to defend — a binding negative catalyst, opposite direction from an EP long.
TSEMBounce-12.7%$30.9BMISMATCH
Tower down 12.7% but the cited headline is about Marvell shipping photonic chips — a different company; move is sector selloff, not TSEM news.
MXLBounce-12.3%$7.6BMISMATCH
Headline is a positive 5G FWA partnership yet the stock is down 12.3%, so the news clearly does not explain the move (semis-tape weakness).
WOLFBounce-11.2%$2.4BMISMATCH
Wolfspeed down 11.2% on a generic AI-electricity theme piece despite an 87.8% short float that could fuel a squeeze on real news — but this headline isn't it.
AXTIBounce-10.9%$5.4BMISMATCH
A single board appointment can't explain a 10.9% decline; the drop is sector-driven, not company-specific news.
MUBounce-10.8%$1218.2BMISMATCH
Micron down 10.8% on a broad 'tech rout' macro headline despite huge prior EPS/Sales growth — index/memory selloff, not a fresh MU catalyst.
SNDKBounce-10.8%$300.4BMISMATCH
SanDisk falls 10.8% on the same generic tech-rout macro line, not any company-specific event.
NVTSBounce-10.0%$5.0BMISMATCH
Positive SiC packaging product PR while the stock is down 10%, so the headline contradicts the move — sector weakness is the driver.
AEHRBounce-10.0%$3.2BMISMATCH
📰 “Why Is AEHR Stock Surging Today?” ↗ · 2026-06-17 09:40:49
Headline asks 'Why is AEHR surging' but the stock is actually down 10% — a stale/mismatched headline that doesn't explain the move.
MRVLBounce-9.9%$242.7BMISMATCH
Marvell down 9.9% inside the tech/quantum selloff; the cited theme headline is not a Marvell-specific catalyst.
OUSTBounce-9.8%$2.7BMISMATCH
A strategic lidar agreement with AIM is positive yet OUST is down 9.8%, so the headline doesn't explain the move and the deal is soft/commercial.
NBISBounce-9.6%$64.5BMISMATCH
Despite a headline-positive $7.8B deal note, Nebius is down 9.6% — a positive catalyst that does not explain a sharp down move (sell-the-news/macro).

BLZEEP+26.9%$618MCLEAN

EPCBounce+9.8%$1.1BMISMATCH
Edgewell up 9.8% on RVOL 6 but the cited headline is about Walmart/Target and the Iran war — no EPC-specific catalyst explains the gap.
