Themes and sectors

DocStoX groups companies two ways. A sector or industry is the company's own reported classification: a bank sits in Banking, a pharma company in Pharmaceuticals. A theme is a basket that cuts across sectors, such as Defence or Railways, because a defence company can be an engineering firm, a shipbuilder or an electronics maker.

Themes#

Open Themes to see every theme in one place. The page has two kinds of basket:

• Industry buckets, sorted by each company's reported industry. A company sits in at most one bucket. A small number of listings carry no industry data and are not shown here.
• Curated cross-cutting baskets, hand-picked lists such as Defence, Railways and EV that cross industry lines. Membership in these is editorial, not derived from a classification field.

Each theme is scored nightly on returns, relative strength and breadth, and labelled trending, turning around, cooling or weak. A theme card shows a trend sparkline of its trailing 3-month return, so you can see the shape behind the label. Where a theme does not have enough stored history for a sparkline, none is shown rather than a flat line standing in for missing data.

Selecting a theme opens its full page: every member company, its returns over several horizons, and which members are leading or lagging within the theme.

How theme returns are weighted#

Each theme shows two return figures:

• Capped market-cap weighted, the headline figure. Each company's weight in the theme's return is its share of the theme's total market cap, with a ceiling of 12% per company so one very large constituent cannot dominate the number on its own.
• Equal weighted, shown alongside the headline. When the two figures diverge meaningfully, it tells you the theme's move is concentrated in a few large names rather than broad-based.

Relative strength compares a theme with DocStoX's own universe of tracked companies, not with a market index such as the Nifty. Breadth, the share of a theme's members trading above their own 200-day average, only counts members with enough price history to compute that average; below half a theme's members having that history, the page shows the coverage but withholds the trending or cooling label rather than guess at it.

Sectors and industries#

Browse stocks by sector lists every sector with how many NSE and BSE companies sit in it. Selecting a sector opens a page listing every company in it with its price and fundamentals, and links out to related screens such as high ROE stocks and high dividend yield within that group.

Industry pages sit one level below sector (/stocks/industry/[industry]), for a narrower grouping such as a specific kind of manufacturer within a broader sector.
