Shares of Tempus AI (TEM), a healthcare AI company, surged 30.59% in Tuesday's intraday trading session. This significant price movement was driven by two key factors.
Firstly, reports emerged that former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi executed bullish options trades on Tempus AI shares. According to financial disclosures, Pelosi purchased 50 call options on Tempus AI on January 14th, with a strike price of $20 and an expiration date of January 16, 2026. The total value of this trade was estimated between $50,000 and $100,000. Pelosi's trades often attract scrutiny from investors due to her position and potential access to non-public information, leading the market to interpret her sizable call options purchase as a bullish signal on Tempus AI's prospects.
Secondly, Tempus AI announced the national launch of "olivia," an AI-powered personal health concierge app designed to empower patients by centralizing their health data and providing actionable insights through AI. The app allows patients to access over 1,000 health systems, sync data from health devices, and manually upload health records. olivia then organizes the data and leverages AI to provide personalized insights, such as summarizing health status or highlighting relevant clinical trials. The launch of this innovative AI-driven healthcare solution further fueled investor enthusiasm for Tempus AI's potential.
