Reddit Finance Comments for S&P 500 Companies

Overview

This dataset contains Reddit comments collected from posts discussing S&P 500 companies, with a focus on high-quality and relevant finance conversations.
Each comment is linked to its original post, and detailed metadata for both comments and posts is included.

Original posts are sourced from the emilpartow/reddit_finance_posts_sp500 dataset.
Comments were collected and filtered for quality, then thoroughly cleaned to ensure true relevance to the company referenced in each post.

Dataset Structure

  • Format: CSV
  • Rows: One per Reddit comment
  • Columns: See below

Columns

Column Name Type Description
post_id string Reddit ID of the post the comment belongs to
comment_id string Reddit ID of the comment
comment string Reddit comment text
comment_score float Reddit upvote score of the comment
comment_author string Reddit username of the comment author
comment_created_utc float UTC timestamp of the comment's creation
post_title string Title of the original Reddit post
post_text string Text content of the original Reddit post
post_score float Reddit upvote score of the post
post_author string Reddit username of the post author
post_created_utc float UTC timestamp of the post's creation
company string S&P 500 company associated with the post and comment
subreddit string Subreddit where the post was published
post_url string URL to the original Reddit post

Cleaning and Filtering

  • Duplicates: All duplicate comments (based on comment_id) have been removed.
  • Missing Values: Comments with missing critical fields (comment, comment_author, post_id, company) were removed.
  • Minimum Length: Only comments with more than 30 characters are included.
  • Company Matching:
    Only comments where the specified S&P 500 company name appears as a standalone word within the comment, post title, or post text are included.
    This ensures true relevance to the company and minimizes false positives from company names that may appear as substrings in unrelated contexts.

Use Cases

  • Financial sentiment analysis
  • Company-specific trend studies
  • NLP tasks (classification, entity recognition, summarization)
  • Research on retail investor behavior
