Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Miami International Holdings (NYSE: MIAX) reported September 2026 trading results, with year-to-date options average daily volume rising 22.0% from the prior-year period.
Average daily volume, or ADV, measures volume per trading day. Through September, MIAX Exchange Group options ADV reached 10.983 million contracts, while market share rose to a record 17.1% from 16.7%. September options ADV was 10.712 million contracts, down 0.7% year over year and 7.2% from August; market share fell to 16.7% from 17.6% and 18.4%, respectively.
MIAX Pearl equities ADV fell 49.7% year over year to 103 million, with market share at 0.6%. Agricultural futures ADV rose 34.5% year over year to 8,036 but fell 43.0% from August; YTD ADV declined 19.8%. Financial futures ADV rose 43.0% from August to 2,226, with YTD ADV of 4,364.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.
