Short-term Top 10 — Consumer Staples — 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 short-term score is a published weighted sum of percentile ranks, rebalanced every Monday. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 3.

−0.6% since the previous session (2026-08-27), against −0.2% for SPY — 0.4 points behind the benchmark. Tracked since 2026-08-18.
+1.8% since 2026-08-18, against +0.2% for SPY — 1.5 points ahead of the benchmark. Tracked since 2026-08-18.
