MarketAlpha Rating

Overview​

The MarketAlpha Rating profile colors the market by MarketAlpha's flagship composite rating, a 1-to-99 rank that consolidates technical, fundamental, and group-based signals into a single number. Grouped by sector and industry and sized by market capitalization, it is a quality map of the entire market: where the strongest all-around stocks live, and where the weak ones cluster.

The rating blends EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating, the Accumulation/Distribution Score, 1-year Relative Strength, 1-year Industry and Theme Ratings, and proximity to 52-week highs, with extra weight on EPS Rating and 1-year Relative Strength. In other words, deep-colored boxes are stocks where long-term quality and momentum agree.
