1 Year Movers

Overview​

This profile tracks the top long-term outperformers and underperformers across all groups using MarketAlpha’s Group Rating 1 Year. It isolates the strongest leadership trends and the weakest laggards based on a full-year performance model that captures price persistence, breakout behavior, and relative strength.

info

This profile filters for Group Rating 1 Year ≥ 95 or ≤ 5, surfacing groups that ranked in the top or bottom 5% over the past 12 months. Results update in real time and are sorted by 1Y rating to reveal dominant trends and deep underperformance.

Strategy Focus​

  • Highlight long-term trend leaders and laggards across industries and themes
  • Identify persistent outperformance for trend-following or fundamental validation
  • Spot structurally weak groups for short ideas, mean reversion, or sector avoidance
  • Evaluate recent behavior of these extremes using 1D rating and momentum metrics
  • Detect divergence, breakout, or volume shifts in long-established trends
  • Cross-check for setup clusters or earnings catalysts in continuation zones

Filters Applied​

This profile uses a dual filter to surface both ends of the long-term performance spectrum:

  • Group Rating 1 Year ≥ 95: Top 5% performers across the full trailing 12 months
  • Group Rating 1 Year ≤ 5: Bottom 5% underperformers over the same period

These conditions are applied with an OR operator. Any group meeting either condition will be included.
