Electronics Industry

Industry returns are an equal-weighted (geometric) average of member companies. Prices are split-adjusted closes for reference, not real-time.

Totals for the 30 covered companies with full-year results for every year from FY2022 to FY2026. The set is fixed, so adding or removing coverage doesn't move the figures.
