The 0–100 composite combines relative strength (30%), momentum (20%), volume (15%), ETF weight (15%), node correlation (5%), new inclusion (5%) and short-squeeze positioning (10%). It is not a return forecast or a pure relative-strength ranking. A dash means data is unavailable, not zero.
Business roles are separate from the site's screening rules. ETF inclusion or pension-fund ownership does not establish a company's product mix. Source-backed notes below explain our classification; they do not quantify revenue exposure or recommend a trade.
Samsung Electronics builds finished devices such as phones, TVs and appliances while also making the memory and logic chips that go into them. It sits in end demand because it consumes chips as well as producing them; the set business and the chip cycle do not always move together.
