Wall Street ended the holiday-shortened week higher, with the S&P 500 Index rising in three of the four sessions of the week. The broader gauge ended off its highs due to a modest pullback on Friday as traders positioned themselves for the unfolding week’s tech earrings and the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision.
Against the backdrop, here’s a compilation of a few tech, communication services and entertainment stocks that triggered frenzied activity among retailers on the Stocktwits platform over the last week:
Nvni Group Limited (NVNI)
Shares of Sao Paulo, Brazil-based B2B software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform provider Nvni Group jumped 180% last week after the company announced it regained compliance with the Nasdaq exchange’s minimum closing bid price requirement.
The seven-day message volume on Nvni stream on the platform spiked by 17,640%.
Sentiment toward Nvni stock has tempered since then, with the meter on the Stocktwits platform showing a ‘neutral’ mood (49/100) among retailers. Message volume also tempered to ‘normal’ levels.
Electronic Arts, Inc. (EA)
Video game software maker Electronic Arts came under selling pressure last week after the company downwardly revised its fiscal year 2025 third-quarter bookings growth and revenue guidance. The company blamed the predicted shortfall on the weakness experienced by its global football franchise
Electronic Arts stock plunged nearly 17% on Friday and ended the week down 18% at $116.56.

Asset Entities, Inc. (ASST)
Dallas, Texas-based Asset Entities provides social media marketing and content delivery services on Discord, TikTok, and other platforms. Its stock jumped 141% over the past week.
The buoyancy in the stock can be traced back to the amendments the company made to its preferred stock provisions, setting a new floor price, and receiving shareholder approval for the same.
Messages on the Asset Entities stock stream on Stockwits showed retailers' optimism regarding President Donald Trump facilitating a deal for Oracle to buy TikTok.
Message volume on the Asset Entities stream spurted by 3,214% over the past seven days.
Match Group, Inc. (MTCH)
Shares of dating services provider Match Group, which owns brands such as Match.com, Tinder, Meetic, OkCupid, and others, rose over 4% over the past week. Stung by fundamental softness, the stock shed over 10% in 2024.
The company’s third-quarter results released in November showed subpar Tinder Direct revenue, with the weakness blamed on the underdelivery of some optimizations. It noted that certain initiatives rolled out in the third quarter cannibalized subscription revenue by more than expected. This weakness will linger in the fourth-quarter.
A class action lawsuit has been filed against the company, alleging the company made materially false and/or misleading statements.
