Stock Manipulation
Narrative attacks created by misinformation and disinformation can manipulate stock prices and impact a company’s reputation, financial future, and competitive standing. Stock prices are a frequent target for narrative attack campaigns which can include deep fakes, social media attacks, bot-driven manipulation, and short-and-distort schemes to profit from declining stocks, cohesive pressure on stock prices (meme stocks), and rumors and speculation about upcoming events and earnings reports.
Detect the distortion
Our Constellation Platform gives you insight into manipulation narratives as they are formulating and spreading. With key insight and context, Constellation will tell you where the narrative is coming from, who is behind it, and what they intend.
Our purpose-built, AI-driven, and multilingual technology detects actions by foreign state actors, ill-intended competitors, and other adversaries who want to create risk and volatility not only for an individual stock but within the larger marketplace.
Defend your valuation
When your company has the information you need, the moment a narrative forms, you can take steps to counter harmful narratives with information that defends your interests and effectively addresses the root of the attack. Defending your narrative is one of the key ways you can maintain a positive public perception, investor confidence, and, ultimately, shareholder value.
