About WhyStockMove
WhyStockMove explains the reasons behind a stock's move. You pick a ticker and the service connects price action, headlines, SEC filings and other market signals, then gives a short explanation along with the evidence that supports it, so you can check the original sources. The site frames this as a clearer read on a noisy market rather than a recommendation.
A Reason history feature keeps how the explanation changed over time, for example when a more specific catalyst replaces a broad sector story, shown with a confidence level. Paid plans add personal intelligence for your watchlist: an end-of-day brief after the 4:00 pm ET close that lists names needing attention, reason alerts when the main explanation changes, and a thesis monitor that checks whether new evidence supports or challenges your own investment thesis. Exploring is free with no card, and a pricing page covers paid plans. The product shows illustrative data on its homepage and does not give investment advice.
