The AGEM Index saw a notable increase of 128.94 points, reaching 1,707.15 in June 2026, representing an impressive 8.2% rise compared to the previous month. This monthly growth was attributed to stock price boosts from five of the nine companies listed in the index, resulting in five positive and four negative contributions overall.
Aristocrat Leisure Limited emerged as the top positive contributor this month. With its stock price soaring by 22.3%, it accounted for an additional 136.32 points in the index. Additionally, Crane NXT, Co. contributed to the overall growth, reporting a stock price increase of 31.7%, which added 27.95 points to the index.
In contrast, Konami Corp. was the primary negative contributor during June. Its stock price fell by 6.7%, leading to a deduction of 37.50 points from the AGEM Index.
This uptick in the AGEM Index occurred amid mixed results for major U.S. stock indices. The NASDAQ experienced a decline of 2.8%, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.1%. Conversely, the Dow Jones Industrial Average noted a 2.5% increase.
Despite the growth this month, the AGEM Index remains below its value from one year ago, with a decline of 196.14 points, or 10.3%, compared to June 2025.
The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers is the organization that compiles the AGEM Index monthly, which tracks nine global gaming suppliers. Among these, five companies are located in the United States and listed on either the NYSE, Nasdaq, or the OTC market, while three are noted on the Australian exchange and one on the Tokyo exchange.
The calculation of the AGEM Index is based on each company’s end-of-month stock price, adjusted for dividends and stock splits, and is weighted by an approximation of market capitalization. For comparability, market capitalizations of foreign manufacturers are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at month-end.
Since January 2005, the AGEM Index has used a base value of 100 points. Contributions to the index and company stock prices may be subject to adjustments due to stock splits, reverse stock splits, mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate actions.
