Data as of 2026-11-08
Sector performance shows how groups of related companies, such as banking, IT, pharma or automobiles, have moved over different periods. Comparing a sector's 1-day move with its 1-year and 5-year returns helps separate short-term swings from long-term trends.
Returns are calculated by Quantsgrow from stored constituent prices for each sector and refreshed after each session. Click a column to see which sectors led or lagged over that period. Rankings on this page are sorted purely by data and are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security.
