Largest AIQ divergences this week
Comparisons where the gap moved most over the last seven sessions, as of Oct 20, 2026. A sudden divergence is usually where something changed.
| Comparison | Leads | Gap | 7-session change |
|---|---|---|---|
| QQQ vs SCHD | SCHD | 17 | +17 |
| AAPL vs SNOW | AAPL | 32 | +16 |
| MSFT vs IBM | MSFT | 1 | -15 |
| PLTR vs ADBE | ADBE | 15 | +13 |
| SNOW vs ORCL | ORCL | 20 | +13 |
| AAPL vs PANW | AAPL | 27 | +13 |
| ADBE vs ORCL | ADBE | 24 | +12 |
| GOOGL vs NFLX | GOOGL | 8 | -12 |
A positive change means the current leader extended its advantage; a negative change means the comparison tightened. Widening is not a recommendation.

How CompareIQ works
Every pair is scored the same way, from the same daily snapshot, so the difference you are reading is a difference between the securities and not between two methodologies.
- The AIQ Score composites four dimensions — Quality, Value, Momentum and Risk Resilience — each carrying a fixed weight. Sentiment is reported separately as SentimentPulse and is not folded into the composite.
- Each comparison names a current leader, states how broadly six independent evidence groups agree, and rates how durable that conclusion is.
- Every pair carries daily comparison history, so a page can say whether a lead is strengthening, weakening or has already reversed — not just who is ahead today.
- ETF pairs add fund-level context: cost, holdings overlap and where the exposure actually sits, which is usually the real difference between two funds.
- Scores refresh every trading day. Nothing on these pages is individualized investment advice.

How AlgovestIQ sources, labels and refreshes the data on these pages.
Comparison figures reflect the latest data AlgovestIQ has covered and can differ from an issuer's own published figures. A current comparison leader is a description of measured evidence, not a recommendation, and nothing on this page is individualized investment advice.
