The AGEM Index is produced by the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers and tracks the performance of nine global gaming suppliers. Among these, five are based in the United States and listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq, or OTC markets, while three are traded on the Australian exchange and one on the Tokyo exchange.
This index is calculated based on each company's stock price at the end of the month, adjusted for dividends and stock splits, and weighted according to market capitalization estimates. For companies trading on foreign exchanges, market capitalizations are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at month-end for consistency.
Since its inception in January 2005, the AGEM Index has been anchored at a value of 100 points. It’s important to note that company stock prices and index contributions may be subject to revisions due to stock splits, mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate actions.
