Cap- and equal-weighted diverge. 1D -3.7pp, 3M +3.4pp, 6M +5.1pp. The smaller members are leading — the headline understates how broad this move is.

One-year return computed from 150 of 263 members — the rest have less than a year of price history and are excluded rather than counted as flat.

Why this label

Classified Trending because it was ahead of the universe over both 3 months and 1 month, with at least 55% of eligible members above their 200-day average. Relative strength is measured against DocStoX universe (5,289 companies).

Each median names the number of companies behind it. Companies without a reported figure are excluded from that median rather than counted as zero.
