STOCK SPOTLIGHT
SPAC-related companies
2020 was the year Special Purpose Acquisition Corporations (SPACs) shot into the investing spotlight. After years of being a
niche product, SPACs surged in popularity after the COVID-19 crash, as private companies increasingly looked to the structure
as an effective and controlled alternative to a traditional IPO. Many companies which were brought public via SPAC qualifying
transactions posted huge gains, notably those from the electric vehicle industry. Investors, lured by a SPAC’s upside optionality and
capped downside risk, began to flood into the SPAC market, resulting in a year of record issuance. This month, three of the new
entrants into the BUZZ Index were stocks that were brought to market as SPAC qualifying transactions; space technology company
Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE), online sports entertainment company Draftkings (NASDAQ: DKNG), and electric vehicle company
Nikola Corp (NASDAQ: NKLA). As their share prices soared, the amount of online conversation surrounding these companies also
exploded higher. This month, SPCE, DKNG, and NKLA all enter the BUZZ Index for the first time, each with a maximum 3% weight.
FireEye
With the pandemic accelerating, people shifted towards working from home and businesses increasingly transitioned to digital
operations. As a result, the importance and demand for internet infrastructure and security technology has been on the rise. This
became even more evident on December 8th, when it was discovered that a massive hack had been conducted on networking
monitoring firm SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI) by what appeared to be a Russian state-sponsored actor, potentially exposing information
on thousands of businesses and government agencies. The hack was discovered by FireEye (NASDAQ: FEYE), one of the top
cybersecurity firms, while it was investigating a hack on its own tools. Shares of FEYE initially sank over 13% on the news;
however, once the scope of the attack was revealed, it became evident that the US government and other technology companies
would be needing the services of FireEye more than ever to investigate and combat future attacks. Investor sentiment on FEYE
quickly reversed, sending shares up over 75% in a single week. This month, FEYE enters the BUZZ Index for the first time, with a
0.84% weight.
