How we classify crypto-adjacent equities. Every stock in our coverage universe gets a three-letter style code each week. Built from the disciplines of accounting-adjusted valuation, translated into plain language for equity investors.
Each name ranked against the others on quality and momentum, with its style code. Valuation decides the rest of the code.
Source: The Bridge style classifications, as published. Names update every Sunday. The definitions for each code are below.
Each stock is ranked against its peers on three dimensions. Every dimension gets a High or Low label based on where the stock sits relative to the cohort. The combination determines the style.
Eight styles map every combination of High/Low across the three factors. A ninth label, Style Neutral, applies when factors don’t cluster cleanly.
Every Sunday in The Bridge, we publish a scatter plot with Quality on the vertical axis and Momentum on the horizontal axis. Each crypto-adjacent stock in our coverage universe is plotted by its factor scores and color-coded by style.
A stock’s position on the map is not a prediction. It is a snapshot of where the market and the fundamentals intersected at the most recent weekly close. Style transitions (a stock moving from Quality Trap to Best in Class over a few weeks, for example) are often more informative than the static classification.
We track streaks for each style. A stock that has printed Best in Class for six consecutive weeks is in a different situation than one that just arrived there for the first time. The timing playbook notes address that context.
Published every Sunday in The Bridge with the weekly Style Delta Tracker showing which stocks just transitioned between classifications.
