We include Sentiment and Confidence ranking data from Alexandria Contextual Text Analytics™ Engine (ACTA™) which is shown in the Rank column. The column uses color along with a number to indicate a positive, neutral or negative sentiment and the degree of confidence of the ranking.

• Green indicates positive sentiment, and displays a number between 0 and 1, where "1" indicates the highest confidence in the ranking.

• Red indicates negative sentiment, and displays a number between -1 and 0, where "-1" indicates the highest confidence in the ranking.

Additionally, many headlines now include the sentiment in the headline after the symbol, for example, "12:13 SS XYZ Positive - Company XYZ Price Target Raised to $120."
