28 names cluster here, grouped purely by how their prices have moved together over the last five years (with the market’s common move removed) — not by GICS sector. Each row shows price change over 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year, then the four SYMBOL-card scores: Perform (beat vs the S&P 500), Persist (how steadily it holds rank), Profit (business growth) and Pressure (money flow & volatility). Scores are percentiles from 0–100; greener is stronger.
