AI & data centers
Chips, memory, networking and the hyperscaler buildout — plus the private labs. As of the 2026-09-15 session · marker SMH.
Movers · last 20 sessions
A move is a move in either direction. The base rate is what a random liquid name did over the same 20 sessions; a theme that moves more than the base rate is unusual, not right.

9 filings shown; 5 more were read and filed here below the confidence floor, so they are not on this table.
An analyst model reads every 8-K from a universe company under $5B and files it under the theme it enters or reports inside, quoting the filing. This says who walked in and what they said; whether entrants outperform is a separate question we have not measured.
Membership is a current classification, not a history: a name that entered the theme last month reads as if it were always here. Entrants come from 8-Ks of universe companies under $5B only. Nothing on this page is a recommendation; the tape says what is unusual, the voices say who is in, the record says how our own picks did, the filings say who walked in.
