Industry Performance
  Watch Lists:   Symbol Search

The Industry Groups Performance Grid provides an easy-to-read, visual indication of the week-to-week relative performance of industry groups.

Use the color-coding to detect trends
Prophet determines the percent change for all industry groups and calculates a percentile score. These percentile scores are displayed in the grid on a 0 to 100 scale, with 0 being worst and 100 being best. Industries scoring in the top third (66 - 100) receive a green square; these industries have performed well relative to the other industries. Industries scoring in the middle third (33 - 65) receive a yellow square; these industries have average relative performance. Industries scoring in the bottom third (0 - 32) receive a red square; these industries have performed poorly relative to other industries.

The grid consists of ten columns, each representing one week. The left-most square represents the most recent week. As you read the chart from right to left, look for trends. Red squares on the right changing to green squares on the left indicate improved industry performance. If the squares are green on the right, but turn to red on the left, that industry's performance has declined.

Using the Performance Period dropdown, you can alter the percent change time period
The time period for the percent change calculation ends on the date indicated at the top of the given column and begins on a date prior. The prior date depends on your selection in the Performance Period dropdown. For example, if the date at the top of the column is January 8, 2006, and the Performance Period dropdown is set to One Year , then the time period used in the percent change calculation is January 8, 2005 to January 21, 2006.

How do I sort the grid?
Click on any column header to sort the entire grid by that column.

How do I read the date at the top of each column?
At the top of each column there is a number (example: 8) that , when combined with the month and year above it (example: Jan '06) , forms a date (example: January 8, 2006). Notice that adjacent columns are separated by one week. If January 8, 2006 were one of the columns, its adjacent columns would be January 1, 2006 and January 15, 2006.

What is an industry group?
Each industry group index is a composite of individual stocks.
