How SPROUT SOCIAL INC CLASS A looks technically

SPROUT SOCIAL INC CLASS A (SPT) is trading 51.9% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 44 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 23 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is stretched — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 71, in overbought territory (above 70). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 10 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It just made a new 20-day high, its first since 2025-10-02, pushing above its recent trading range. It is 1.5% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year).

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($9.87 to $12.73) — its "stochastic" reading is 93 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions.93.4

Trend (Ichimoku cloud)

Vs the Ichimoku cloudtrading 16% above the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-14 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is thick, spanning 9.8% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross.+16.1%

Wave structure

Its recent swings can be read as a three-part downward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.

This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $8.95.

It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.

This reading has stood for 11 trading days, since 2026-10-06.

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.

Institutional ownership (13F)

5 institutional 13F filers reported holding SPT as of 2026-06-30 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).

  • Distinct 13F filers 5
  • Reported shares held 13,681,929
  • Reported value $103,298,564

reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 3 increased, 2 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".

Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Short interest (FINRA)

SPT had 4,320,090 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-30 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).

Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for SPT because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.

  • Reported short interest (shares) 4,320,090
  • Prior settlement (shares) 4,237,153
  • Reported change 1.96%
  • Days to cover (reported) 4.25

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-30 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
