An X account identified as ZSanders53865 posted a May 22 message claiming a string of triple-digit stock gains, including Oscar Health at +400%, AST SpaceMobile at +167%, Redwire at +130%, Tesla at +120%, SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust at +120% and ServiceNow at +100%. The post, under ID 2058178844121518241, was cited in a finance-focused social media briefing for May 23. Market data available on May 22 supports some of the names as strong momentum trades, but not all of the percentages in the post. (x.com) Oscar Health closed at $22.64 on May 22 with a 52-week range of $10.69 to $25.58, while AST SpaceMobile closed at $105.86 and Redwire at $17.49, with one-year gains shown near 339% and 130%, respectively, on market-data pages available that day. ### Which of the posted gains line up with public market data? (x.com) AST SpaceMobile and Redwire are the easiest claims to reconcile with public one-year charts. MarketBeat showed ASTS up 339.44% over one year as of May 23, with a May 22 close of $105.86, while Yahoo Finance showed RDW up 130.13% over one year at a May 22 close of $17.49. Oscar Health also had a strong run, but the visible one-year figures were lower than +400%. (stockanalysis.com) StockAnalysis showed OSCR at $22.64 on May 22, up 57.1% over one year, and Seeking Alpha showed a one-year total return of 57.55%. Those figures do not establish the +400% gain stated in the post, though they do show the stock had rallied sharply from its 52-week low. ### Why does the SPY figure stand out? SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust closed at $745.64 on May 22, and MarketBeat listed its one-year performance at 28.76%. (marketbeat.com) Advisor Perspectives separately said the S&P 500 had just posted its eighth straight weekly gain and was up 9.17% year to date. Neither figure is close to +120%. The broader market backdrop was strong into the Memorial Day weekend. Bloomberg, Barron’s and other market coverage on May 22 said the S&P 500 logged its eighth consecutive weekly gain, while the Dow finished at a record high. (stockanalysis.com) That rally helps explain why broad-market symbols were circulating in momentum threads, even when some posted return figures did not match public performance tables. (marketbeat.com) ### What about Tesla and ServiceNow? Tesla closed at $426.01 on May 22, according to historical price data, but the search results reviewed here did not produce a primary one-year performance table confirming the +120% figure in the post. ServiceNow closed at $102.13 on May 22, and the available results reviewed here similarly did not show a one-year return of +100%. Analyst pages for ServiceNow still showed a bullish Wall Street setup. (bloomberg.com) StockAnalysis cited an average analyst price target of $143.06, and MarketBeat listed a consensus target of $141.85 as of May 22. Those estimates describe forward expectations, not realized returns. ### What was driving interest in names like OSCR, ASTS and RDW? Oscar Health reported first-quarter results on May 6 that included GAAP earnings per share of $2.07 and reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance, according to market-data summaries citing the company’s filings and earnings materials. (stockscan.io) AST SpaceMobile and Redwire were also trading in a market that had rewarded aerospace and speculative growth names during the latest leg of the rally. (stockanalysis.com) The next concrete checkpoint is the public post itself and the next round of company filings. Oscar Health’s latest quarterly report was filed May 7, Redwire reported earnings on May 6, and investors will be able to compare any future social-media performance claims against those companies’ updated market data and SEC disclosures.
