Catalysts
A catalyst is a scheduled or expected event — a regulator’s decision, a court date, a product verdict — that can move a stock sharply when it lands. The catalyst board collects them across the market so the date never takes you by surprise.
Reading a catalyst card
- Headline — what the event is, in one plain sentence.
- Expected date — our best estimate of when the decision lands. Some events have exact dates; others are windows — the card says which.
- Impact score — how much the outcome could plausibly move the stock, considering the company’s size and the event’s weight. Higher = potentially bigger swing — in either direction.
- Revised chip — dates change in the real world. When a timeline moves, we show the revision instead of silently rewriting history.
Two boards
The board is split into Sub-$100M (very small companies, where a single event can be transformative) and Biotech (all sizes — trial results and approval decisions are the classic catalysts). Use the filters in the sidebar to narrow by event type.
Good to know
Catalysts cut both ways: an approval can double a stock, a rejection can halve it. The board tells you when the coin flips — never which side it lands on. Position sizing is your safety net.
