Tempus AI's TEM Edges Up 0.11% as $450M Volume Ranks It 250th in Total Trading Value

On September 29, 2025, Tempus AI (TEM) closed with a 0.11% increase, trading with a volume of $0.45 billion, ranking 250th in total trading value among listed equities. The stock's muted performance came amid a mixed broader market backdrop as investors weighed macroeconomic signals ahead of key central bank decisions later in the quarter.

Analysts noted limited catalysts directly impacting Tempus' valuation during the session. The company's core AI-driven healthcare platform continues to face execution risks tied to regulatory scrutiny in key markets, though recent operational updates have yet to trigger meaningful directional movement in the share price. Institutional positioning data suggests stable ownership patterns, with no significant institutional transactions reported in the latest 10-day window.

Volume distribution analysis indicates the stock remained within its typical trading range, with no unusual order flow patterns detected. Market participants are monitoring upcoming earnings disclosures for potential insights into near-term guidance adjustments, though no material news events were reported to influence short-term volatility metrics.

To run this back-test accurately I need to clarify (and, if you prefer, help you pin down default choices): 1. Universe of stocks • All U.S. listed common stocks? • Or a specific index/constituent list (e.g., Russell 3000)? 2. Price convention for measuring the one-day return • Buy at today’s close → sell at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close) – most common for volume ranking strategies. • Or buy at tomorrow’s open → sell at tomorrow’s close (open-to-close)? 3. Transaction cost assumptions (commission/slippage) – include or ignore? 4. Rebalancing holidays / delisting handling – use standard CRSP calendar defaults or ignore special cases? Once we lock these points in, I can generate the volume rankings each day, build the daily “top-500” portfolio, and run the back-test from 2022-01-03 to 2025-09-27 (latest available close). Let me know your preferences and I’ll proceed immediately.
