The associated portal pages bundle information on sectors that are characterized by above-average interest from investors and journalists.

#Mining & Commodies

Within GICS Eleven, the relationship between TIER 1 (CORE), TIER 2 (TREND) and TIER 3 (MICRO) is not conceived as a break, but as a logical continuation within a finely graduated relationship and dependency structure. The tiers build on each other and complement each other instead of functioning separately. TIER 1 (CORE) forms the overarching framework. It serves to structurally classify companies, business models and value chains and provides orientation at a meta-level. TIER 2 (TREND) and TIER 3 (MICRO) start where thematic consolidations, accelerated developments or focused priorities emerge within this framework. Market dynamics and changing information situations can lead to overlaps that make clear categorization difficult or deliberately leave it open. However, this is not a shortcoming, but a conceptual feature. The levels are always related to each other and allow different perspectives on the same market context.

Whether a perspective is perceived as particularly relevant, purely informative or subjectively significant is ultimately at the discretion of the user. GICS Eleven therefore does not see itself as a conclusive authority, but rather as a structured orientation framework. A claim to completeness or interpretative sovereignty is expressly not associated with this

This symbiosis is particularly evident in the example of the Feingold Research information portal. The Materials meta-sector forms the overarching frame of reference: All companies assigned to the sector are fully covered and linked to the relevant news. This creates a complete sectoral sounding board that covers the breadth of the market. At the same time, trend sectors are derived from this core as independent info streams. These no longer follow complete coverage, but rather a focus on content. The range deliberately extends from meta to micro: from Materials as a superordinate sector, to Mining as a functional and operational consolidation, to Rare Earths as a thematically highly specific section within the same value chain. The dividing line is not in the object - some of the companies are the same - but in the perspective.

Tier 1 (Core) answers the question: Where does a company structurally belong?

Tier 2 (Trending) answers the question: Why is a part of this sector currently in focus?

Trend sectors are therefore not created by new classifications, but by thematic weighting, news intensity and market attention. They form dynamic observation areas in which developments emerge earlier and more concentrated than in the broad core.

Like GICS Alpha or GICS IPO, these trend sectors act as curated layers of information: They filter out those segments from the core that are currently characterized by technological, geopolitical or demand-side impulses. This creates direct added value for journalists, editorial teams and analysts: instead of having to sift through the entire meta-sector, the system provides thematically precise information streams that pre-select relevance.

As a result, GICS Eleven thus forms a multidimensional classification system: The core provides structure and completeness, tier 2 for focus and topicality, tier 3 for analytical depth. Trend sectors are not a counter-design to the meta-sector - they are its moving projection.

GICS Mining / Critical Materials bundles developments relating to the mining, extraction and strategic importance of mineral raw materials. The focus is on metals and minerals that are of central importance for industrial value creation, technological applications and geopolitical security of supply - including rare earths, battery metals, industrial metals and other critical resources. In terms of content, the topic area covers exploration and mining, project developments, production expansion, cost and extraction structures, as well as environmental regulations, approval procedures and political framework conditions. Particular attention is paid to raw materials that are considered key components for future technologies, such as energy infrastructure, electromobility, semiconductors, robotics and artificial intelligence. GICS Mining focuses on supply, scarcity and dependency issues. It highlights developments in which demand forecasts, production capacities and geopolitical interests overlap. Topics such as securing resources, national extraction strategies, new mining regions and technological advances in mining characterize the dynamics of the field. The subject area is deliberately designed to be interface-oriented. Raw materials are at the beginning of many value chains. Accordingly, relevant impulses arise at the transitions to Industrials, Energy, Information Technology and Defense, where availability, price development and supply chain stability have a direct economic impact. Target and interest groups correspond in principle to those of the overarching CORE sectors Materials and Industrials - with a clear focus on strategic raw materials, extraction markets and technology-driven demand developments.

Typical users of GICS Mining think of raw materials as a strategic prerequisite for technological development. They observe scarcity, dependencies and extraction structures. It becomes relevant where resources determine the industrial future.

GICS Cannabis is aimed at players who understand regulated cannabis markets as a medical, economic and political field of the future. It is aimed at advertisers, agencies, manufacturers, platforms and service providers from the fields of medical applications, research, processing, distribution and related technology, compliance and financial services whose offerings are anchored in a clearly regulated environment. For agencies, PR and communication service providers, GICS Cannabis offers an environment in which content is placed in a factual, responsible and contextualized manner. New products, studies, regulatory milestones, market entries or partnerships have an impact here because they meet an audience that differentiates between medical use, market structure and social classification. Manufacturers, platform operators and specialized service providers find a focused space in GICS Cannabis for offers that support the development, scaling or professionalization of regulated markets. Whether medical products, research collaborations, distribution models, data and analysis offerings or capital market-related solutions for participation or hedging - visibility is created where cannabis is not seen as a trend, but as an emerging, structured market. In addition, the portal addresses industry information services, specialist media, research providers, stock market letters as well as conference and trade fair organizers whose content is based on credibility, topicality and regulatory classification. Studies, publications and events reach an audience that actively observes, evaluates and professionally accompanies cannabis markets.

#Entertainment

GICS Entertainment is a trend area within GICS Eleven and focuses on companies that offer experiences, leisure and entertainment in physical or media form. The focus is on operators of hotels and resorts, organizers of major events, listed soccer clubs and international entertainment brands such as MGM Grand. Cruise companies such as Carnival can also be assigned to this sector. The spectrum is rounded off by film studios and streaming providers such as Netflix and Paramount. In contrast to GICS Betting, which is heavily geared towards digital platforms, betting and interactive gaming formats, GICS Entertainment focuses on the experience itself. It is about places, events, content and formats that people consciously seek out or consume - be it on location, on stage, in the stadium or via traditional and new media channels. The market is characterized by major brands, high visibility and clear offer formats. Stationary experiences such as resorts, shows or sporting events are just as much a focus as media entertainment via films, series and streaming. Both worlds are increasingly intertwined, but remain different in their logic: while betting focuses primarily on participation and interaction, entertainment thrives on staging, reach and recognizability. GICS Entertainment bundles this diversity independently of individual industry labels. The focus is on companies that make entertainment scalable - via locations, formats or content - and thus occupy a permanent place in the everyday lives and leisure time of many people. It is precisely this breadth and visibility that makes the area an independent trend sector within GICS Eleven.

GICS Entertainment bundles developments relating to experience- and content-driven entertainment offerings in which physical presence, brand worlds and media reach play a central role. The focus is on business models, infrastructures and formats that enable entertainment to be experienced on-site or in hybrid form. In terms of content, the topic area includes hotel and resort operators, organizers of major events, leisure and experience providers, listed sports and entertainment organizations as well as film studios, production houses and streaming providers. Cruise companies and similar providers where entertainment is an integral part of the offering are also included. The decisive factor is not the individual channel, but the staging of experiences and their commercial exploitation. GICS Entertainment focuses on stationary and experience-oriented value creation, supplemented by media extensions. Developments become visible in which capacities, utilization, programming, brand strength and international reach determine economic success. In contrast to purely digital models, the focus is on location, event and experience - often with high capital commitment and long-term planning. The topic area is deliberately different from GICS Betting / Gaming. While interaction, competition and digital monetization dominate there, GICS Entertainment focuses on the curated entertainment experience - whether on stage, in a stadium, in a resort, on a ship or via professional media productions. Target and interest groups are basically the same as those of the overarching CORE sectors Consumer Discretionary and Communication Services - with a clear focus on experience-based business models, brand economics and international entertainment formats.

Typical GICS Entertainment users think of entertainment as an experience, brand and physical presence. They track formats, utilization and reach across multiple channels. What is relevant is where experiences are staged economically.

GICS Entertainment is aimed at players who understand entertainment as an economic experience, brand and scalable business model. It is aimed at advertisers, agencies, media and entertainment groups, event organizers, platform operators, service providers and financial players whose services are based on reach, attention and experience value - both in the digital and physical space. For agencies, marketing and PR service providers, GICS Entertainment offers an environment in which communication is not casually consumed, but consciously perceived. Film and series releases, event announcements, brand collaborations, studies or new formats have an impact here because they meet an audience that actively follows, evaluates and culturally classifies entertainment. Providers of products, services and financial solutions find a focused space in GICS Entertainment for offerings that enable or monetize worlds of experience. Whether streaming platforms, film studios, event organizers, hotel and resort operators, cruise companies or structured products for participation in entertainment markets - visibility is created where entertainment becomes plannable, scalable and economically relevant. The portal also addresses industry information services, trade media, stock market letters, cultural and media publications as well as trade fair and event organizers whose content depends on topicality, reach and classification. Events, premieres and market studies reach an audience that not only consumes entertainment, but understands it as a market.

#Travel

GICS Travel is a trend area within GICS Eleven and focuses on markets that revolve around travel, tourism and temporary mobility. The focus is on companies that facilitate, organize or accompany travel - from planning to execution. These include accommodation portals, providers of private apartments as well as international hotel chains and traditional tour operators. Cruise companies are also part of this field. The spectrum is supplemented by companies that cover transportation, such as airlines or specialized travel and mobility providers. GICS Travel deliberately takes a holistic view of the topic. The focus is not on individual offers, but on the interplay of accommodation, transport, organization and experience. Many companies cover several areas at the same time and see travel as an integrated overall product. In addition to traditional vacation trips, experience formats also play a role. These include themed trips, events, special locations or offers that go beyond pure accommodation and transportation. The market is characterized by global demand, strong brands and increasingly digital booking and distribution models. GICS Travel bundles this diversity independently of traditional industry classifications. Users of this information channel receive an overview of companies and developments in the travel and tourism sector - from platforms and tour operators to transportation and experience providers. It is precisely this breadth that makes Travel an independent trend sector within GICS Eleven.

GICS Travel bundles developments relating to travel, mobility and tourism services in which planning, booking, transportation and experience are interlinked. The focus is on markets and business models that enable, organize and economically exploit travel. In terms of content, the topic area includes travel and booking platforms, hotel chains and accommodation providers, tour operators, cruise companies, airlines and mobility service providers. This is supplemented by providers that are committed to tourism as a whole - including adventure travel, event formats and destination-related offers. GICS Travel focuses on demand-driven and seasonal dynamics. Developments in which travel behavior, booking patterns, capacity utilization and price structures change become visible. External factors such as economic conditions, geopolitical influences or regulatory requirements have a direct impact on supply and demand. The subject area is deliberately cross-sectional. Travel combines consumption, mobility, entertainment and infrastructure. Accordingly, relevant impulses arise at the interfaces to entertainment, logistics, consumer discretionary and communication services, for example through digital booking processes, platform economies or new experience formats. Target and interest groups correspond in principle to those of the overarching CORE sectors Consumer Discretionary and Industrials - with a clear focus on travel, mobility and tourism markets.

Typical users of GICS Travel monitor mobility, demand cycles and the experience economy. They track where travel is organized, scaled and monetized. Relevance arises where movement becomes economically plannable.

GICS Defence is aimed at players who understand security, defense and geopolitical stability as economically and technologically relevant factors. It is aimed at advertisers, agencies, technology and defense companies, suppliers, infrastructure providers as well as financial and information services whose services are related to state security, military procurement and defense-related technologies. For agencies, PR and communication service providers, GICS Defence offers an environment in which sensitive topics can be placed in a factual, responsible and contextually strong manner. Announcements on technologies, cooperations, studies or strategic initiatives have an impact here because they meet an audience that does not emotionalize defence, but places it in a political, economic and industrial context. In GICS Defence, manufacturers, technology and solution providers find a focused space for offerings that improve protection, operational capability and resilience. Whether systems, components, software, logistics solutions or security-related services - visibility is created where defense is not seen in isolation, but as part of industrial value creation, government procurement and long-term planning. In addition, the portal addresses industry information services, specialist media, security policy publications, research providers and conference and trade fair organizers whose content thrives on depth, classification and credibility. Studies, events and specialist formats reach an audience that pursues defense as a strategic, ongoing topic and not as a short-term reaction to events.

#Shopping

GICS Shopping is a trend area within GICS Eleven and focuses on markets that are geared towards private consumption. The focus is on companies, products and platforms through which people purchase goods for their daily needs, larger purchases or special wishes. The subject area covers the entire shopping environment - from production to sales and direct customer contact. It doesn't matter whether the purchase is made stationary or digitally. The decisive factor is that products find their way to the end customer and consumer behavior becomes visible. GICS Shopping views consumption as a dynamic process. Changes in purchasing behavior, new sales models, digital marketplaces and direct customer relationships shape this area just as much as traditional retail structures. Many companies are moving across multiple channels and combining production, marketing and sales. The focus is not on individual product categories, but on patterns in consumption: Which products are in greater demand? How are purchasing channels changing? And which companies are benefiting from these shifts? It is precisely these questions that characterize the information content of this topic portal. GICS Shopping bundles these developments independently of traditional sector demarcations. Users of this information channel receive an overview of companies and trends relating to consumption, retail and sales - and how shopping is changing in an increasingly networked and digital world.

GICS Shopping bundles developments relating to consumer-oriented markets that focus on purchasing decisions, sales channels and demand behavior. The focus is on business models that are directly aimed at private consumption - regardless of whether this is stationary, digital or hybrid. In terms of content, the topic area covers a broad spectrum of consumption-driven activities: from production and brand management to retail, marketplaces and platform models, right through to sales, logistics and customer interaction. The decisive factor is not the individual sector, but the role of consumption as a connecting element between supply, pricing, availability and demand. GICS Shopping focuses on changes in purchasing behavior and sales structures. It highlights developments in which consumer preferences are shifting, new sales channels are emerging or existing business models are coming under pressure or being realigned as a result of digitalization, platform economies or changing customer expectations. The topic area is deliberately designed to be overarching. Shopping combines traditional consumer goods markets with digital marketplaces, direct-to-consumer approaches and global retail structures. Relevant impulses arise in particular at the interfaces to Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Logistics and Information Technology, where market mechanisms, data and demand converge. Target and interest groups correspond in principle to those of the overarching CORE sectors Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples - with a clear focus on consumer-related business models, retail structures and demand-driven market movements.

Typical users of GICS Shopping deal with consumption as a market mechanism, not with individual products. They track how demand arises, is managed and is distributed across channels, platforms and price structures. Where buying behavior changes measurably becomes relevant.

GICS Shopping is aimed at players who actively trigger, control or monetize consumption. It is aimed at advertisers, agencies, manufacturers, platform operators, retail companies and service providers whose business models are based on purchasing decisions, demand behaviour and sales channels - regardless of whether these are stationary, digital or hybrid. For agencies, marketing and PR service providers, GICS Shopping offers an environment in which communication takes place directly at the point of demand. Product launches, campaigns, brand positioning or market data have an impact here because they are embedded in a context in which consumption is not abstract, but observable, comparable and measurable. Product manufacturers, platforms and service providers find a focused space in GICS Shopping for offers that facilitate, influence or scale purchasing processes. Whether branded products, marketplace models, e-commerce infrastructure, payment or logistics solutions - visibility is created where consumption is understood and actively managed as an economic process. In addition, the portal is a relevant platform for industry information services, specialist media, stock market letters, trend and market research providers as well as trade fair and event organizers, whose content thrives on topicality and proximity to consumer events. Studies, reports and events reach an audience here that recognizes consumer trends at an early stage and classifies them economically.

GICS Betting is a trend area within GICS Eleven and focuses on a market in which entertainment, technology and betting are increasingly converging. The spectrum ranges from traditional gambling and casino operators to online betting platforms, gaming formats and eSports environments. What used to be clearly separate has become much closer thanks to digitalization, streaming and mobile use. The trend is determined less by individual products than by changing usage habits. Interactive formats, real-time experiences and digital platforms have opened up new target groups and expanded existing offerings. At the same time, the market has become more professionalized: Operators are acting globally, content is being scaled and regulatory frameworks are creating new scope as well as clear boundaries. GICS Betting bundles this development independently of traditional industry classifications. The focus is on companies and platforms that monetize entertainment - be it through betting, games, tournaments or accompanying digital offerings. In this environment, new business models are emerging, existing providers are growing beyond their original core areas and the capital market is increasingly focusing on an area that is constantly reinventing itself.

GICS Betting / Gaming bundles developments relating to digital and stationary entertainment formats that focus on interaction, competition and monetization. The focus is on business models, platforms and ecosystems that deal with gaming, gambling, betting and eSports - from content and technology to operation, regulation and marketing. In terms of content, the topic area covers gaming and betting platforms, casino and online offerings, eSports structures, streaming and community formats as well as the underlying technologies for transactions, odds formation, real-time data and user retention. Equally relevant are questions of regulation, licensing, market access and the distinction between entertainment, competition and gambling. GICS Betting / Gaming focuses on demand- and user-driven dynamics. It highlights developments in which consumer behaviour, platform economies and monetization models are changing - often accompanied by a high speed of innovation, data-driven decision-making processes and strong competition for attention. The subject area deliberately includes interfaces to adjacent fields, such as media and streaming, payment and FinTech solutions, cyber security, data analysis and mobile technologies. It is precisely these links that characterize the economic logic of the sector and explain why betting and gaming are increasingly perceived as independent, technology-driven markets. Target and interest groups are basically the same as those of the overarching CORE sectors Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services and Information Technology - with a clear focus on digital entertainment, platform models and regulatory market structures.

Typical users of GICS Betting / Gaming are interested in digital entertainment, interaction and monetization. They observe platform logics, regulation and user loyalty. Relevance arises where entertainment becomes data-driven and scalable.

GICS Betting is aimed at players who understand betting, gaming and gambling-related entertainment as a regulated, data-driven market. It is aimed at advertisers, agencies, platform operators, technology and software providers, payment and compliance service providers as well as financial and information services whose business models are based on user interaction, probabilities and scalable transaction models. For agencies, marketing and PR service providers, GICS Betting offers an environment in which communication is contextualized and targeted rather than sensationalized. Product updates, market entries, regulatory classifications, partnerships or market studies have an impact here because they meet an audience that soberly evaluates betting markets and differentiates between entertainment, regulation and profitability. Platforms, technology and solution providers find a focused space in GICS Betting for offerings that enable reach, monetization or risk management. Whether betting platforms, eSports providers, casino operators, data and odds services or hedging solutions - visibility is created where betting is understood as a structured market with clear framework conditions.

#GICS Logistics

GICS Logistics is a trend area within GICS Eleven and focuses on markets that enable the transportation, movement and distribution of goods. The focus is on companies and infrastructures that ensure that goods find their way from production to their destination. The subject area covers the entire environment of logistical processes. This includes physical transport services as well as the organization, control and safeguarding of supply chains. Infrastructure plays a central role here - from hubs where goods are bundled or forwarded to systems that enable smooth processes. GICS Logistics views logistics as a connecting element between production, trade and consumption. Changes in global supply chains, increasing demands for speed, reliability and transparency as well as new technological solutions are increasingly shaping this area. Many companies operate internationally and across multiple modes of transport. The focus is not on individual modes of transportation, but on structures and processes that make the flow of goods efficient. How goods are moved, where bottlenecks occur and which players play a key role are the central questions of this topic portal. GICS Logistics bundles these developments independently of traditional industry demarcations. Users of this information channel receive an overview of companies and trends relating to transport, logistics and infrastructure - and how global flows of goods are organized and managed.

This is supplemented by providers of logistics services, infrastructure operators and technological solutions that support the planning, management and optimization of supply chains.

Developments in which global trade flows, production locations, cost structures or regulatory requirements are changing become visible.

It is precisely at the interfaces with industrials, energy, consumer markets and technology that relevant impulses arise that are directly reflected in corporate strategies and market movements. Target and interest groups correspond in principle to those of the overarching CORE sectors Industrials and Consumer Discretionary - with a clear focus on transportation and infrastructure systems, supply chain management and globally networked value creation.

Typical users of GICS Logistics are interested in the movement, efficiency and stability of global supply chains. They think in terms of networks rather than individual companies. What becomes relevant is where logistics becomes a bottleneck or a competitive advantage.

GICS Logistics is aimed at players who plan and control the flow of goods, data and commodities or make them economically usable.

Explanations

The topics covered in GICS Trending do not follow a short-term market impulse, but arise from structural drivers that develop outside of classic price movements. Trends are understood here as consolidations of real economic, technological or social changes that are increasingly influencing capital markets, corporate strategies and public perception.

The underlying impulses vary:

Geopolitical developments can bring entire sectors into focus - for example, when security policy tensions, defense budgets or strategic dependencies are reassessed.
Technological breakthroughs act as a catalyst for topics such as digital assets, artificial intelligence or automation and permanently change existing value chains.
Changing threat situations - for example in the digital space - draw attention to sectors whose relevance arises less from growth than from necessity.
Social and cultural shifts can change consumption patterns and give rise to new markets long before they are fully categorized in regulatory or economic terms.

GICS Trending picks up on these developments where they become visible, shape discussions and have a cross-sectoral impact. The perspective thus serves as a transition between a stable sector order and a focused detailed view - it shows why certain topics are gaining in importance even before their influence is differentiated on a small scale.
