Where social sentiment stocks stand now
As of 12 October 2026, Social Sentiment (BUZZ) ranks #23 of the 115 groups Zensei tracks by one-month return against the S&P 500. It is losing its lead. It built a 3.3-point advantage over the S&P 500 across the longer, time-shifted window, but over the past month it has slipped 0.4 points behind the market — the Cooling quadrant of the rotation map.
On the shorter tape, BUZZ's momentum is weakening: the intraday trend that carried the move is cooling across the shorter windows. BUZZ's relative-strength line has broken below its long-term average — the long-term outperformance trend is no longer intact. Both signals point the same direction here: the market is not rewarding this group on either horizon.
The exposure comes via VanEck Social Sentiment ETF, whose 75 tracked holdings are led by Moderna Inc, Strategy Inc and Gamestop Corp. Weighted by portfolio, the fund's holdings trade at roughly 25.6× earnings. The thing to watch from here is whether this is a pause or a handoff: cooling groups sometimes reset and reclaim leadership, but a deepening one-month deficit usually means rotation has moved on.
