Leaderboard Overview

With 5,000+ stocks to choose from, how do you find the best ones? Leaderboards surface the top opportunities automatically.

What Are Leaderboards?

Leaderboards rank stocks by their ShareValue.ai scores, showing you:

  • Top Overall — Highest Final Scores across all stocks
  • Top by Sector — Best stocks within each sector
  • Top by Criteria — Highest scores on specific pillars

The Sports Rankings

Like ESPN rankings for sports teams:

  • Overall rankings show the best teams in the league
