Breaking it down

Of course what really stands out here is that two private (but possibly headed to IPO) companies are in the LikeFolio top 30.  That's massive brand awareness and social chatter for companies just a few years old!

But there are three interesting social-data takes among public companies in this section of the list:

The Coca-Cola Co (NYSE: KO) numbers are fairly flat.  With hundreds of brands, it seems the shifts in consumer behavior rarely effect this company.  As one brand's sales deteriorates, another picks up the slack, simply stealing shelf space and sales from its brand sibling. In fact, the data suggests that Coca-Cola may be one of the most invincible consumer companies in the world. 

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT) has been seeing purchase intent volume and sentiment climb consistently for the past year.  In fact, the brand resurgence we talked about a few months ago has only gotten stronger!  This is great news for Walmart shareholders as we head into 2016

LinkedIn Corp (NYSE: LNKD) has the opposite story.  Declining social sentiment and a drop in purchase intent mentions.  In fact, we're starting to see more and more people talk about canceling their LinkedIn premium services— something investors should be wary about when it comes to companies that rely heavily upon subscription revenues.

These companies have very unique outlooks, and social data has proven to be an effective predictor for each.  If these trends continue through 2016, we should see once again the importance of understanding consumer-based data in a stock-picker's market.
