The AGEM Index climbed 128.94 points to 1,707.15 in June 2026, an 8.2% increase from the prior month, as five of the nine companies in the index posted stock price gains. The monthly performance resulted in five positive contributions and four negative contributions to the index.

Despite the monthly increase, the AGEM Index remained lower than a year earlier. Compared with June 2025, the index was down 196.14 points, or 10.3%.
The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers produces the monthly AGEM Index, which tracks nine global gaming suppliers. Five suppliers are based in the United States and are listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq, or OTC market, while three trade on the Australian exchange and one trades on the Tokyo exchange.
The index is calculated using each company’s month-end stock price, adjusted for dividends and splits, and weighted according to an approximation of market capitalization. Market capitalizations for manufacturers trading on foreign exchanges are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents as of month-end for comparability.
The AGEM Index is based on a 100-point value as of January 2005. Company stock prices and index contributions may be revised because of stock splits, reverse stock splits, mergers, acquisitions, and other business activities.
