Standard classifications describe what a company files as, not what it's a bet on. This is a curated list of the Retail names in our US universe: the pure-plays, plus the larger companies for which Retail is a real, reported driver rather than a passing mention. Each carries the same 0–100 quality-growth score used everywhere on the site (how it's built), and re-scores every trading day.

The 14 members report under 5 different industries, which is exactly why no standard sector view groups them:
Average pillar scores across the 14 scored members, against every stock the model scores:
| Pillar | Retail | Market | Read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quality | 69.8 | 56.5 | 13.3 above |
| Growth | 61.3 | 58.8 | 2.5 above |
| Value | 34.5 | 44.8 | 10.3 below |
Pillars run 0–100 against sector peers. A low Value reading means the group is expensive relative to what it earns, not that the businesses are weak — for an early-stage theme that is the normal shape.
Scores across the group run from FIVE at 71.2 down to TGT at 35.9, with a median of 49.3. A theme is a thesis, not a quality filter — membership says a company is exposed to Retail, and the score says what the model makes of the business.
Across the 14 Retail names with a reading, the median forward earnings estimate is roughly unchanged — +0.4% over 90 days, in line with the market (+0.3%). 5 of 14 are being revised up, 2 down.
Forward earnings estimates implied by price ÷ forward P/E, both captured at the same moment each trading day since June 2026, so a moving share price does not move these figures — only a changed forecast does. Estimate direction is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →
