Breadth, to the close of 2026-09-25: 8 of 24 companies are higher than a month ago, 10 of 24 closed above their 200-session average, 1 at a 52-week high and 0 at a 52-week low; in the last session 10 rose and 13 fell. A wide gap between the two lines means a few large companies moved the sector.

The sector as a map

a company's area is its market value · grouped by industry · tinted by price change

Area is market value; the tint is the price change over the last session, full strength at 3% either way, and grey where we hold no price that far back. 24 companies. Click a company to open it.

Where its companies sit: ROE against P/B

a dot's area is its market value · the largest are named · click one to open it

15 companies with both figures in the filings we hold; 1 more sit beyond the axes and are in the table. Dashed lines: the sector's median P/B (5.2×) and ROE (12.4%). ROE is the last four quarters' profit on the latest balance sheet's equity. A high ROE at a low P/B is not a bargain by itself: debt, a one-off profit or a shrinking business all produce one.

The sector's results, added up

from the companies' own quarterly filings

Revenue, added up

Net profit, added up

latest against a year before: —

Added up over the 17 companies that filed every quarter shown, of the 23 whose filings we hold and the 24 in the sector; each on a consolidated basis where it files one. For banks, revenue is total income. A sum is dominated by its largest companies, and says nothing about one that is not in it.

From the shareholding patterns filed for the quarter to Jun 2026, against Mar 2026, by the 24 of 24 companies whose filings for both we hold (100% of the sector's market value), each weighted by its market value. Mutual funds and insurers are part of domestic institutions. Foreign institutions leaves out the shares a depository holds behind ADRs and GDRs, which companies file under a different head from one quarter to the next; those sit in “public and others”. “pp” is percentage points of the company's shares. A holder's share also moves when a company issues or buys back shares; these are the filed figures, not a reading of anyone's intent.
