These are the exact figures the nightly classifier read — not a recalculation in your browser. A dash means the input could not be computed, in which case no label is assigned at all.
Breadth
15 of 15 eligibleThese percentages are of the 15 members that carry moving-average history, not all 15. Members without enough price history are excluded from both the numerator and the denominator.
Valuation
Medians, not averages — one loss-making outlier cannot drag the whole theme.
Each median names the number of companies behind it. Companies without a reported figure are excluded from that median rather than counted as zero.
