What’s all this sentiment stuff about anyway?

Sentiment moves markets. Brand Sentiment is what investors, customers and the press or media are saying about a specific company. It is the market and investor perception that quietly builds or erodes brand trust over time. With brand sentiment we can find Market Sentiment, this is the wider mood across an index or sector, it’s the collective tone that lifts shares on good news and drags them down on bad. 

For PLCs, both are important reputational currency: they shape valuations, influence capital raising, and colour how the City reads every announcement. For investors, they’re an early read on stories the numbers haven’t yet caught up with. ShareAware® tracks both, every day and deliver them in an easy to understand way

ShareAware® is supported by a team who actually worked within and lead the London Stock Exchange, we have insight into not only what investors are looking for but also what companies will value when it comes to brand and market insight into their company.
