Pharma Majors
Large-cap formulators, API makers and CDMO names — a curated basket, distinct from the exhaustive Pharma & Healthcare bucket.
This is an editorial list, not an index. No thematic index exists for us to source membership from, so the companies below were chosen by hand — treat the basket as a starting point for research rather than a definitive universe.
Returns
Cap-weighted with a 12% ceiling per companyCap- and equal-weighted diverge. 1Y +3.1pp. The large members are carrying this theme — the typical company in it did less well than the headline suggests.
Why this label
Classified Cooling because it was ahead over 3 months, but the 1-month lead has gone or short-term breadth has dropped below 45%. Relative strength is measured against DocStoX universe (5,390 companies).

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
13 of 13 eligibleThese percentages are of the 13 members that carry moving-average history, not all 13. 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.
