Theme Card
Last updated: 29 May 2026
What is a Theme Card?
The Theme Card is an on-demand snapshot of a named investment theme — a curated group of stocks tied to a shared thesis. Ask Thay about any theme (SOFTWARE, MAG7, SEMI, PHOTONICS, etc.) and a Theme Card is returned alongside the analysis. The card shows two benchmark indices for context, every stock in the theme, current prices, day changes, after-hours data, and a PT tag for each ticker.
Available Themes
Thay supports 21 named themes. Each theme has a fixed set of representative stocks and a benchmark pair. Ask Thay by theme name to get the card.
Benchmark Bar
Below the theme name, the card shows two benchmark indices for that theme. S&P500 is always the first — it gives broad market context. The second index is the most relevant sector or factor ETF for the theme. Together they tell you whether the theme is outperforming or underperforming its relevant benchmark.
Reading the benchmark
If the theme is outperforming both benchmarks, it has genuine leadership. If the theme is underperforming its sector ETF, the weakness may be theme-specific rather than sector-wide. A theme up while both benchmarks are red is showing unusual relative strength.
Stock Rows
Each stock in the theme occupies one row. The structure is identical to the Watchlist Card: logo + ticker + tag, current price, day change, and after-hours data. Stocks are curated by Thay for each theme — not your personal watchlist.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Logo / Ticker | Company logo and ticker symbol. The PT tag sits beneath the ticker — one tag per stock, the highest-priority signal from the PT engine at the time the card was generated. |
| Price | Last traded price at the time of card generation. When the market is open this is the live price; when closed, it is the official closing price. |
| Day Change % | Percentage return from the previous session's close. Always the regular-session change, not including after-hours. |
After-Hours Data
Each row shows a second pair of numbers below the main price and change. These are the after-hours (or pre-market) figures, marked with a moon icon.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Price | The last traded price in the after-hours or pre-market session. |
| Change % | The percentage change in the extended session, calculated from the regular-session close. |
How to Read a Theme Card
Start with the benchmark bar. Then scan for divergence within the theme.
Check S&P500 and the theme's sector ETF. If both are green, the broad market is supportive. If both are red, you need a strong reason for individual stocks in the theme to buck the trend.
Within a theme, not all stocks move together. Scan for the stocks with the strongest green and the deepest red — these are the ones defining the narrative. A theme that looks mixed often has one or two stocks distorting the overall picture.
A leading stock with HYPER-DRIVE or REAL-BREAKOUT has momentum backing its move. A leading stock with RUBBER-BAND or COOL-DOWN may be running on fumes. Tags add the PT engine's read to each stock's price action.
The Theme Card is a scanner. When a stock's tag or price move grabs your attention, ask Thay for its full PT Card. The PT Card gives you the complete picture: price levels, support and resistance, indicators, and RR.
