Biggest movers, week of Oct 26, 2026

Movers

Each input’s change is split by size. The part that records dated inside the period account for (a funding round, federal award or launch, by its own date, not the day we stored it) is a company event, and so is a market-value move or a change in the count of open roles on the company’s own job board. The rest is a data update: late records, corrections, newly searched companies, records leaving a rolling window, or a restarted job-board series. A move is listed as a mover only when events account for at least half of its points; moves caused mainly by data updates are listed separately under Data updates. 68 moves came only from other companies’ values changing and are not listed.

No movers in this edition. No ranked company moved mainly because of an event dated in the period.

Data updates

These scores moved mainly because our records changed, not because of something the company did in the period: a record added late, a correction, a company newly searched or matched, or an older record leaving a rolling window. Each input is labelled.
