Define the cohort before comparing stocks
The rule combines the named broadline, specialty, home-improvement, apparel, general and food-retail classifications. Retail is an industry grouping that can span discretionary and staple demand. A single sector filter would not express this full named cohort.
Ask a business-specific research question
Compare comparable-sales definitions, store and online mix, inventory and promotions. Membership fees, marketplace revenue and direct merchandise sales have different margins. Review the issuer’s measurement definitions before comparing its reported growth with another retailer’s.
The four presets answer different questions
The default ranks classified members by company market capitalization. Above the 200-day selects close above SMA 200. One-month gains requires positive price change from 21 trading sessions earlier. Near the 52-week high selects closes within 5% of the highest high over 252 sessions. Each rule prints its classification and conditions in full.
| Observation | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Close 105, SMA 200 of 100 | Above the average; this is a state, not a crossover. |
| Close 105, close 21 sessions earlier of 100 | One-month price performance is +5%. |
| Close 95, 252-session high of 100 | Distance from the high is −5%, included at the boundary. |
| Large company, negative one-month performance | It can lead the capitalization ranking while failing the gains preset. |
Preserve sector and industry distinctions
A branded product maker is not automatically a retail company. Low share price and high recent returns also say nothing by themselves about inventory efficiency or sustainable demand.
Review the session and the full comparison
Membership is the classification captured with the published reference population. It is not a reconstruction of a historical index. All preset rows use the same recorded session, and sorting applies to the full matching population before the display limit. A displayed subset is not a sector index or a cohort-average return.
Use the retained Sector Heatmap · S&P 500 for broader market context. Company-by-company rankings and a weighted sector index answer different questions. Keep a record of the cohort and date when comparing the same screen over time.
A screen lists stocks whose published values meet a rule. It is a starting point for research, not a recommendation. Read the data and methodology notes for how sessions and calculations are defined.
