Metrics Used​

EPS Growth and Rating​

  • EPS Rating: Ranks each group’s earnings-per-share performance relative to all other groups on the platform. It is the main quality benchmark in this profile.
  • EPS Growth - 3 Years (%): Shows longer-term earnings expansion and helps confirm whether the group has durable earnings strength.
  • EPS Growth - Latest Year (%): Tracks recent trailing earnings growth and helps show whether the longer-term trend is still intact.
  • EPS Growth - Next Year Forward (%): Shows forecasted annual EPS growth and helps identify groups where expectations are improving.
  • EPS Growth - Latest Quarter (%): Adds recent quarterly earnings momentum and helps detect more immediate changes.
  • EPS Growth - Next Quarter Forward (%): Shows near-term EPS expectations, which can matter when timing setups around upcoming catalysts.

Group Identity and Fundamental Context​

  • Industry / Theme: Identifies the group so you can compare earnings leadership across different market segments.
  • Tickers: Shows the number of companies in the group, which helps frame how broad the earnings trend is.
  • Sales Rating: Adds revenue strength context and helps confirm whether EPS leadership is supported by top-line performance.
  • Profit Rating: Adds profitability and return-quality context, helping separate cleaner earnings leadership from weaker earnings quality.

Size and Liquidity Context​

  • Total Market Cap. (%): Shows how much of the tracked market capitalization belongs to the group, helping you weigh the size and influence of the earnings trend.
  • Total Avg. Volume 3 Months (%): Shows the group’s share of average market volume, which helps highlight structurally liquid and active areas of the market.

Performance and Positioning​

  • Return 1 Month (%): Shows whether recent price performance is aligning with the earnings trend.
  • Return Year to Date (%): Adds broader trend context and helps confirm whether the group is being rewarded for its EPS strength.
  • Group Rating 1 Day: Shows current session strength, which helps when strong earnings groups are also gaining momentum today.
  • Group Rating 1 Year: Adds long-term price-based leadership context.

Behavioral Signals​

  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Shows whether institutional behavior has been supportive of the group’s earnings trend.
  • Reports Earnings Within 1 Week: Highlights near-term catalysts that could reinforce or challenge the current earnings leadership.
  • Top Alpha Setups: Counts the number of strong strategy setups inside the group, which helps connect earnings strength with current opportunity density.
  • Tight Range (%): Shows how much compression exists inside the group, which can matter when strong earnings groups are setting up for breakouts.

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by EPS Rating in descending order, so the strongest earnings groups appear first.
