In a significant move to bolster its AI capabilities, Stocktwits has acquired Thematic, an AI-powered investment research platform. The acquisition aims to deliver smarter tools, faster insights, and a more personalized investing experience for its community. The integration of Thematic's technology will enable Stocktwits to offer AI-native search and discovery features, smart screeners and watchlists, stream summaries, idea generation, and proprietary indicators like the Social Relative Strength Index (SRS).

Stocktwits, the leading social platform for investors and traders, has over 10 million unique users in 200+ countries. With this acquisition, the company plans to introduce a suite of AI-driven research, discovery, and decision-making tools. These tools will be built on top of Stocktwits’ unique blend of real-time social sentiment and proprietary insights, providing users with actionable insights that cut through market noise.

The integration of Thematic's technology will also enhance Stocktwits’ role in the retail investor workflow, both before and after trades. The enhanced platform will seamlessly integrate AI into all aspects of its user journey, including profiles, robust search capabilities, smart screeners, and watchlists. The AI will wrap Stocktwits’ proprietary data to deliver tangible, actionable insights that surface personalized ideas and analytics for each user exactly when they need them.

Shiv Sharma, President and COO of Stocktwits, stated, "Stocktwits is where active investors come to find real-time signals, spot trends early, and share trade ideas with like-minded investors. With Thematic, we’re taking that to the next level by using AI to surface personalized, actionable insights that help our users make faster, smarter, and more profitable decisions. This acquisition is about making sophisticated tools more accessible and giving our users an edge."

The new AI tools are expected to be released in Q4 2025 and will include an institutional-quality index builder with backtesting capabilities, democratizing access to portfolio-building tools that were previously only available to institutional investors.

Steven Carpenter, CEO of Thematic, expressed excitement about the acquisition, stating, "What excited us most about joining Stocktwits was the opportunity to apply our AI technology to the most authentic dataset in retail investing. Unlike TradFi AI tools that only work with sterile data, Stocktwits gives us access to a dynamic community that reveals market truths you can't find anywhere else."

The acquisition underscores Stocktwits’ commitment to leveraging AI to redefine the future of investing, offering AI-powered, personalized agents that deliver timely insights to investors of all types and skill levels.
