Do you mean investors are trying to manipulate stocks by planting stories? Yeah, I think so. But intelligence agencies have whole training programs on how to manipulate narratives, and a very long track record of doing so. See the GCHQ leaked documents, the Church Committee, and The Cultural Cold War by Frances Stonor Saunders.

Most companies have marketing and PR departments, not GCHQ and IDF veterans
