Lost on the Industry trading floor? We’ve got you.

Our unofficial "HBO Industry financial terms explained" breaks down every deal, desk, and double-cross across Seasons 1–3 in plain English.
Watching Industry shouldn't require a finance degree. When characters talk about "gapping down 250 points" or "net debt to EBITDA ratios," it’s easy to get lost in the noise.
At abroaden, we’ve spent three seasons translating the desk’s most complex maneuvers into plain English. We’ve compiled every mechanical breakdown , from the Season 1 RIF to the Season 3 solvency crisis, into one master resource.
What’s inside the guide:
* Episode-by-episode financial breakdowns across Seasons 1–3
* Trading, banking, and hedge fund jargon explained in plain English
* Key deals decoded: RIFs, block trades, short squeezes, IPOs, liquidity crises
* Market mechanics & economic concepts (Fed policy, FX, equities, credit)
* Sales, trading, and investment banking roles, who does what and why
* Desk culture, career politics, bonuses, and power dynamics
* Character cheat sheet (Pierpoint employees, clients, PMs)
* Companies & entities cheat sheet (banks, funds, competitors, institutions)
