Example brief

IBM beat earnings and the stock still fell almost 7% - why?

In plain EnglishWhen expectations are already high, “good” results can still disappoint. The price can drop even after a beat.

Who this affectsPeople who own IBM, other big tech/software stocks that report soon, and index funds that hold them.

Educational explanation of how this news can affect different companies. Not investment advice. About these explanations

SectorsTechnology and software: investors may compare upcoming results with already-high expectations.

StocksIBM, other big tech/software stocks reporting soon, and index funds that hold them.

RisksAn earnings beat does not guarantee a price rise. Expectations and future guidance can matter as much as recent results.

A clearer way to keep up

Less noise. More understanding.

Tired of conflicting takes?

No jargon walls

Good questions

Before you join

Can I trust it?

Every brief links to the original article. We never republish news. AI writes short summaries and educational explanations, and you can always read the source. Orin is not financial advice.

Is it free?

Orin will have a free tier with daily briefs. A paid tier with extra features is planned and will be tested with people on the waitlist. No card is needed to join.

Where does the news come from?

Stories come from established publishers, linked on every story.

Is this financial advice?

No. Orin explains news; it does not tell you what to buy or sell.

Who is building it?

Owen Thomas Armstrong, a first-year business student at Huron University College at Western University, is building Orin solo in Ontario. Read why I'm building Orin.

A small, independent start

Why I'm building Orin

Hi, I'm Owen Thomas Armstrong, a first-year business student at Huron University College at Western University, building Orin solo in Ontario. Students my age are opening investment accounts earlier than ever, yet the news that moves their money is scattered, full of jargon and often behind paywalls. I want Orin to be the place where a new investor can understand what happened and who it affects, without being told what to buy.
