Financial-condition grades for SEC filers

Sectors [top]

11 sectors from the four-digit SIC code, 2,204 graded companies. Each letter is one fifth of its peer group, so the sectors differ in who holds the letters, in size, and in how their prices moved. A sector with fewer than 100 graded companies is graded in a pooled group with its neighbor, and its page says so.

Median 12-1 Momentum by Sector

Median twelve-month price change, skipping the latest month, across the graded companies of each sector.
