Industry Trends
US · vs S&P 500 · as of 3 Aug 2026Every industry, equal-weighted — no stock is bigger than any other here. Confirmed moves come first: a industry already breaking out or leading, whose members confirm it in their own trailing 12-month earnings per share, with participation still widening. Everything else follows on the same four readings — where the industry sits in a breakout, whether its members confirm it, how many of them are participating, and its two-year line against S&P 500. Nothing is dropped for failing the first cut; it ranks lower. Every figure on a card is read from the same 3 Aug 2026 build, so no two of them are from different weeks. Counts like "14 of 31 in momentum" are headcounts: one stock, one vote. Market value is used only to decide who is large enough to be included and to sort the large, mid and small ladder, never to weight a number on this page. Weekly member returns are capped at −90% and +100% before averaging, so one bad print cannot set the level of a whole industry.
