Hi everyone,
Recently, I noticed a pattern regarding BrainChip that I’d like to share for discussion — hoping to hear your thoughts and interpretations.
The Context:
Before (major) news, such as the partnerships with RTX (April 1st, 2025) and ISL (March 31st, 2025), there were noticeable increases in BrainChip’s LinkedIn follower count, typically 5–7 days in advance. This observation prompted me to start tracking the data more closely.
Recent Developments:
Over the recent Easter weekend, LinkedIn follower numbers surged well beyond their usual range of +10 to +40 per day:
April 18: +206
April 19: +502
April 20: +701
April 21: +416
That’s more than 1,800 new followers in just four days, without any visible marketing campaigns, major events, or public-facing updates.
What could be driving this? (Theoretical scenarios):
1. Internal announcement at a large company involving BrainChip, sparking employee interest
2. Upcoming collaboration or partnership already circulating in industry circles
3. Investor speculation or increased attention triggered by job postings or behind-the-scenes signals
4. Pure coincidence or statistical anomaly
5. Anticipation of the upcoming quarterly report within the next week
Personal takeaway (still just a theory):
This pattern has repeated itself more than once now, and the sharp spike in followers might signal a significant announcement in the next few days. If it’s price-sensitive, a trading halt at ASX open wouldn’t surprise me, especially if BrainChip wants to manage the news responsibly and avoid a speeding ticket.
Here’s a chart showing the daily LinkedIn follower growth since March:

Curious what you think.
PS: I recorded the LinkedIn followers once a day. I tried to do it at the same time (mostly between 7am and 10am - central Europe time).
