Themes - MarketAlpha Rating
Overview
The Themes - MarketAlpha Rating profile applies the composite quality lens to the market's narratives. Stocks are grouped by MarketAlpha's curated themes, sized by market capitalization, and colored by the 1-to-99 MarketAlpha Rating, which blends earnings, sales, and profit quality with institutional pressure, relative strength, group ratings, and proximity to 52-week highs.
Not every hot theme is built on quality. This map separates themes whose members genuinely earn high composite ratings from themes running purely on story, and inside every theme it shows you exactly which members carry the quality.
Ratings run from 1 to 99, with 99 marking the strongest overall performance. Extra weight goes to EPS Rating and 1-year Relative Strength, so deep colors mean quality and momentum agree. The map updates in real time.
