SignalIQ Leaderboard Brief™

Published · as of 2026-10-29

The current leaderboard highlights a notable concentration in the Financial Services and Technology sectors, which account for 7 and 6 positions respectively. While these sectors maintain high representation, the top-ranked names are distributed across Industrials and Energy as well. This distribution indicates that while technology remains a core component of the cohort, industrial and energy assets are providing evidence of score strength in the current period.

At the top of the rankings, ROK and FLS both hold AIQ Scores of 60. These Industrial names entered the cohort with significant improvements; ROK specifically saw an AIQ Score delta of 14.0, supported by a Momentum score of 79. FLS followed closely with an AIQ Score delta of 12.0 and a similar Momentum score of 79. The presence of these two Industrial names at the top indicates a strong performance profile in that sector relative to the broader cohort.

In the Technology sector, ENTG and ADI occupy ranks 3 and 4 respectively. ENTG holds an AIQ Score of 49.0 with a momentum delta of 48.0, while ADI maintains a higher AIQ Score of 60.0. Both names show significant upward movement in their respective profiles, though they differ in their underlying factor compositions. ADI's profile is supported by a higher Quality score of 68 compared to ENTG's 45.

The Energy sector also shows notable presence with EPD and PTEN at ranks 6 and 7. Both names share an identical Momentum score of 79, though their AIQ Scores differ slightly at 56.0 and 55.0 respectively. The inclusion of these assets in the top ten highlights a broad distribution of strength across multiple sectors rather than a single-sector concentration.

Several notable entries and exits have reshaped the cohort's composition. ROK and FLS entered as new additions, while TSM, PNR, and POOL exited the rankings. The exit of TSM, which previously held an AIQ Score of 66.0, marks a shift in the Technology representation. Conversely, the entry of ROK and FLS provides evidence for the Industrials sector, which now holds four positions in the top ranks.

Rank movements provide further insight into the shifting landscape. FFIV moved up one position to rank 20, while several names experienced significant downward movement. GLXY fell seven spots to rank 14, and PBR dropped seven spots to rank 22. ENPH also saw a decline of six positions to rank 15. These movements indicate a divergence in the momentum profiles of these specific assets over the last reporting period.

The data shows that while high Momentum scores are common among top-ranked names, the underlying factor profiles vary significantly. For instance, SOFI at rank 5 maintains an AIQ Score of 47.0 with a notably lower Risk score of 23.0 compared to its peers in the Financial Services sector. This distinction is important as it highlights that different factors are driving the scores for different assets within the same sector.

In summary, the current evidence favors a diversified leadership profile where Industrials and Energy names show strong momentum characteristics alongside Technology names. The transition of ROK and FLS into the top ranks provides a new anchor for the Industrial segment. The upcoming period will be defined by whether these high-momentum profiles in Industrials can maintain their rank positions against the established core of the Financial Services and Technology sectors. Watch if ROK maintains its position at rank 1 or if the gap between ROK and FLS narrows in the next update.

Summary ▸

State labels appear only when a stock meets a defined condition (New Leader, Consistent Leader, Accelerating, Momentum Divergence, Losing Leadership, Strong Momentum / Elevated Risk). Most rows carry no label on most days — that is by design, so labels stay meaningful.

Why this matters

Takeaway: AIQ declined since 2026-10-22.

Leadership concentration is broad: Financial Services accounts for 29% of the list (-21 points since 2026-10-28). Leadership spread across sectors reduces the impact of any single-sector rotation.

Median Risk Resilience scores declined since 2026-10-28; this is a descriptive change in the published cohort, not a forecast.

What to watch next

1Not confirmed

Whether ROK holds the #1 position — leaders that hold the top spot across multiple sessions carry more signal than single-day appearances.

2Not confirmed

Whether new entrants (ROK, FLS, ENTG) stay on the list — one-session appearances often reflect single-factor noise rather than durable signal change.

What an AIQ upgrade means

This page isolates the positive side of the daily AIQ Shifts dataset. It ranks stocks by the largest increase in their AIQ composite score — the 0–100 signal combining momentum, valuation, quality, and Risk Resilience. It is not a list of the biggest price gainers and does not imply that every factor improved.

Composite-score improvement is a broader signal than any single factor moving: it means the overall balance of evidence shifted in the stock's favor across multiple dimensions at once. In practice, multi-factor improvement has a better hit rate than single-factor spikes, because it is harder for one noisy input to produce it.

How to use this list

The most useful pattern to look for is a stock whose score improvement is persistent — appearing here or trending upward across several sessions — and whose starting score was already respectable (60+). That combination describes persistence in the model evidence, but this page does not claim it predicts returns. Improvement from a very low base (a score going from 25 to 34) is real but usually reflects a bad situation becoming less bad, which is a different investment case entirely.

FAQ

Why did a stock appear here without a big price move?

Because the AIQ score is not price. Score inputs include trend quality, volume patterns, valuation ratios, earnings consistency, and volatility behavior. Several of these can improve while price moves sideways — which is often precisely the setup that precedes the price move rather than following it.

How fresh is the data?

Scores recompute every market day; this list compares the latest daily snapshot with the prior one. The snapshot date is shown in the Pulse block at the top of the page, and the ranking never mixes dates.
