Group and Relative Strength Losers 1 Year

Overview​

The Group and Relative Strength Losers 1 Year profile highlights stocks that have underperformed over the past 12 months and also come from the weakest industries or themes over the same period. It combines Relative Strength 1 Year with Industry Rating 1 Year or Theme Rating 1 Year, making it useful for finding names where both the stock and the broader group remain structurally weak.

This profile is useful for short-side research, avoiding weak areas of the market, and tracking laggards that continue to deteriorate.

info

This profile updates in real time and applies filters automatically to surface long-term laggards that are also part of weak industries or themes over 1 year.

Strategy Focus​

  • Identify long-term underperformers that continue to lag over a full 12-month period
  • Focus on stocks inside weak industries or themes where downside pressure is broader, not isolated
  • Combine low relative strength with weak group context to strengthen downside analysis
  • Build lists of persistent laggards for short research or risk management
  • Track breakdown candidates where weak structure aligns with weak group performance
  • Avoid exposure to stocks and groups showing prolonged weakness

Filters Applied​

This profile combines liquidity, volatility, stock weakness, and group weakness filters:

  • Liquidity Rating > 70, ATRP 14D ≥ 0.5, Volatility (Month) ≥ 1: Keeps the results tradable and active enough for cleaner follow-through.
  • Relative Strength 1 Year ≤ 10: Limits the list to stocks that have been among the weakest performers over the past year.
  • Industry Rating 1 Year ≤ 10 OR Theme Rating 1 Year ≤ 10: Requires the stock to belong to one of the weakest groups over the same period.

These filters keep the profile centered on stocks with both individual and group-level weakness.

Metrics Used​

AI Strategy and Setup Quality​

  • AI - Alpha Strategy: Helps show whether current structure continues to support downside conditions.
  • AI - Risk/Reward: Adds a setup-quality layer when reviewing short ideas in weak names.
  • AI - Path to Target: Helps show whether there is still a clean downside path or if support is starting to build underneath.

Volume, Liquidity, and Activity​

  • Volume All Hours: Confirms that weakness is backed by real participation.
  • Relative Volume: Helps identify when laggards are drawing fresh attention during breakdowns or unwinds.
  • Dollar Volume Rank: Keeps the most visible and liquid weak names near the top.

Price Action and Structural Signals​

  • Change Pre Market (%), Change From Close (%): Show whether current session action continues to align with the broader long-term weakness.
  • RSI Divergence 14 Days: Helps separate oversold bounces from deeper structural deterioration.
  • Universal Pattern Detection: Adds technical confirmation through bearish or breakdown-oriented patterns.
  • Tight Range: Can highlight compression before another downside expansion.

Sector and Theme Context​

  • Industry Rating 1 Day, Theme Rating 1 Day: Show whether short-term group behavior is still weak.
  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Confirm the stock belongs to a persistently weak group.
  • Relative Strength 1 Day, Relative Strength 1 Year: Help compare short-term action with established long-term weakness.

Fundamentals and Timing​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: Composite measure that often stays weak in structurally poor names.
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Help explain whether weak price action is also backed by weak fundamentals.
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Shows whether institutional behavior supports or contradicts the weakness.
  • 52 Week High (%): Useful for judging how extended the decline has already become.
  • Next Earnings In Days: Adds timing context around possible event risk.

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending) to keep the most liquid and actively traded long-term laggards at the top.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Build lists of long-term laggards with confirmed weak group context
  • Focus on stocks in weak industries or themes rather than isolated underperformers
  • Find short candidates where both stock and group remain structurally weak
  • Avoid exposure to persistent underperformers during portfolio review
  • Track breakdown setups supported by weak relative strength and weak group ratings
  • Refine downside ideas by combining Relative Strength 1 Year with group weakness
