Cybersecurity vs CIBR

4 of 5 cybersecurity headliners beat CIBR over the last year (4 of 5 over six months, 4 of 5 over three). Every line is measured against the benchmark itself, so the zero line is CIBR.

Weekly closes through 2026-09-25. The zero line is the benchmark: a name "beats" when its total return over the window is higher than CIBR's. Rebuilt every morning.

A name whose history starts inside a window is measured from its first bar, not the window start — the "Since" column says where.

The five platforms against the cyber index. The IGV toggle asks whether any of it is more than software beta.

How the grading works

Every sell-side rating change from the last 365 days is priced the day it lands and checked again 30, 60 and 90 days later. A call is a hit when the stock moved in the called direction at 30 days. Buy- and Sell-side ratings call their own direction. A Hold is read, not waved through: a downgrade to Hold is graded as a bearish call and an upgrade to Hold as a bullish one, and a maintained Hold whose price target sits 10%+ above the price leans bullish (10%+ below, leans bearish) and is graded that way. A Hold with a target close to the price is a true Hold and is not graded at all. Every call with a price target also gets a target check 90 days later: hit (reached it or within 5%), close (covered at least half the distance) or missed. A firm's accuracy on a single name prints only after 4 scored calls, and a firm gets its own page only after 10 scored calls across every covered name — below that a percentage is noise. Letter grades print only where a record differs from a coin flip at two sigma; tested across the whole book on 2026-09-21, firm direction accuracy is sampling noise at these call counts, so the firm leaderboard ranks on 90-day price-target hit rate instead (the test, in full). "Run before the call" is the stock's move over the 30 calendar days before the rating landed. Data: Yahoo Finance rating history and daily closes, rebuilt each morning.
