Long-term Top 10 — Materials — what changed on 28 Aug 2026
A dated record of one session: what entered or left, what moved inside the ten and by how much, who is closest to the boundary, and how the list did against its benchmark. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100.
The long-term score is a published weighted sum of percentile ranks, rebalanced on the first trading day of each month. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 3.

Against the benchmark
SPY is the S&P 500 ETF — the US large-cap market average.
−2.0% since the previous session (2026-08-27), against −0.2% for SPY — 1.8 points behind the benchmark. Tracked since 2026-08-18.
+5.0% since 2026-08-18, against +0.2% for SPY — 4.7 points ahead of the benchmark. Tracked since 2026-08-18.
Both curves are total return through 28 Aug 2026: a distribution buys more of the company that paid it, on the benchmark as much as on the list.
