Relating news analytics to stock returns
News analytics, as defined in a current reading by experts David Leinweber and Jacob Sisk, measure the effect on stock price of the sentiment, timeliness, relevance and volume of news about a particular instrument. Leinweber and Sisk highlight some of the major factors in news analytics, including the latency from the first publication of a significant news event and the impact on different market cap groups (not surprisingly, small caps are typically more affected than large caps).
