Semi Equipment vs SOXX
1 of 5 semi equipment headliners beat SOXX over the last year (1 of 5 over six months, 3 of 5 over three). Every line is measured against the benchmark itself, so the zero line is SOXX.
Weekly closes through 2026-10-29. The zero line is the benchmark: a name "beats" when its total return over the window is higher than SOXX'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. Its "vs bench" (marked *) compares it with SOXX over that same shorter span.

How calls are checked
Every call is checked on the firm's own terms. A price target is followed until its own deadline (12 months unless the firm publishes a different horizon) and ends as reached (the stock closed at or beyond it while it stood), replaced (the same firm set a new target first) or short at deadline. A rating is compared with the stock's sector SPDR ETF on total return over the rating's life, because most big-firm ratings are relative: Overweight means "beat its peers", not "go up". Hold-type ratings are tracked, not graded. A firm is numbered only with 30+ resolved targets, and a letter prints only for a firm's whole record where an exact test separates it from a coin flip. None of this is a verdict on anyone's skill, and one day is never a grade. The full method →
