How KabuDo Works

KabuDo tracks financial news from around the world and surfaces which stock sectors and tickers each story might affect. This page explains, in plain terms, how that actually happens — what the site pulls in automatically, what it adds on top, and where its limits are.

Where the news comes from

Headlines are pulled from a financial news aggregation service that continuously indexes thousands of publishers — wire services, financial blogs, company press releases, and mainstream outlets. KabuDo doesn't write or edit the underlying reporting; every headline links back to the original publisher, and we'd encourage you to read the full story there rather than relying on the short summary shown on this site.

How sentiment is determined

Each article that mentions specific companies is analyzed for how positively or negatively it discusses those companies, producing a numeric sentiment score. KabuDo averages the scores across all companies mentioned in a story and buckets the result into three labels: Positive (clearly favorable coverage), Negative (clearly unfavorable coverage), and Neutral(a mixed or unclear signal — including cases where the story doesn't mention any specific company at all, in which case there simply isn't enough information to call it either way).

This is an automated, statistical read of the text, not a human editorial judgment. It's meant as a quick signal, not a verdict — always read the source article for the actual context.

How sector and ticker impact is shown

When an article mentions a publicly traded company, KabuDo tags the company's ticker symbol and its industry (for example "Energy" or "Technology"). Those tags are what you see as the "Sector impact" line and ticker chips on each story. Tapping a ticker takes you to that company's page on Yahoo Finance, where you can see its actual live price chart — KabuDo itself does not host real-time stock price data.

Not every article mentions a specific company. Stories about broader economic trends (interest rates, trade policy, commodities) often have no ticker tags at all — that's expected, not a bug, and the sector/ticker section simply doesn't appear on those stories.

Limitations

KabuDo is an automated aggregation and tagging layer, not a research desk. Sentiment scoring and sector tagging are generated by third-party natural-language processing, not reviewed individually by a human before publishing, and they can be wrong or miss context. Nothing on this site is investment advice — treat it as a starting point for further reading, not a conclusion.
