📈 Top AI Scorers of the Week 

Yes, it’s fun when there’s an all-new batch of top stocks to parse through. But something even more impressive to us is when a stock stays at the top of our platform’s ratings for multiple weeks in a row…

And Pattern Group has now been at the top for 3 weeks straight. So we decided to do a deeper dive on it today

Stock spotlight: Pattern Group (PTRN)

Pattern Group (PTRN) has been on a strong run recently, climbing roughly 30% over the last month. At the time of writing, the stock is trading around $14 per share.

For AltIndex members, this move didn’t come out of nowhere. In our weekly member email, Pattern Group has appeared as a buy signal for several weeks, driven by a consistently high AI Score (hovering around ~80), which reflects a broad set of alternative data and fundamental signals moving in the same direction.

How AltIndex Members Got the Signal Early

Pattern Group triggered a buy signal weeks ago because the AI Score was being supported by multiple, independent indicators pointing to operational momentum.

That matters quite a bit. Stocks can move on hype, but stronger, more durable rallies are often supported by fundamentals and “under-the-surface” activity like hiring, employee outlook, consumer attention, and the company’s ability to translate demand into revenue growth.

What Drove Pattern’s High AI Score

Our AI Score is an aggregate signal. In Pattern’s case, the buy signal was supported by a cluster of positive inputs, including:

In short: Pattern’s buy signal was driven by growing revenue, backed by alternative data pointing to continued momentum.

The Fundamental Backdrop: IPO Momentum + Strong Q3 Results

Pattern is a relatively new public company. It began trading on Nasdaq on September 19, 2025, under the ticker PTRN.

On November 5, the company reported its third-quarter 2025 results, highlighting record revenue of about $640 million and 46% year-over-year revenue growth.

Management also guided to continued growth, which helped reinforce the alternative-data-driven buy signal we saw forming in the weeks that followed.

What’s Next for Investors: 3 Things to Watch

1) The next earnings catalyst

Looking ahead, Pattern is expected to report earnings in early February (dates can shift until the company officially confirms the schedule).

For investors, the focus is whether Pattern shows continued progress on:

  • Path to profitability (and the durability of margins as the company scales)

  • Growth outside Amazon (i.e., diversification across marketplaces and channels)

2) Social commerce expansion (NextWave acquisition)

In December, Pattern announced it acquired NextWave, positioning the company to expand further into TikTok Shop and creator-led commerce capabilities.

Investors will be watching whether this becomes a meaningful growth lever in 2026.

3) Whether alternative data stays supportive

One of the most useful parts of alternative data is that it updates faster than quarterly filings. If the rally is sustainable, we’d typically expect continued strength in the same “early” indicators that drove the initial buy signal (hiring demand, employee confidence, and consumer attention).

Bottom Line

Pattern’s recent rally is a good example of how alternative data can surface momentum before it becomes obvious on a price chart. From here, the next major test is execution: can Pattern convert growth into improving profitability, diversify beyond Amazon-heavy revenue streams, and show tangible returns from newer initiatives like social commerce? So far, the alternative data continues to support the growth story: the same “early” indicators that triggered the buy signal have continued to suggest underlying demand and operational momentum rather than a one-off spike.
