The AGEM Index, which tracks the stock performance of selected global gaming equipment suppliers, rose 8.2 percent month-on-month in June, supported chiefly by a strong rally in the shares of Australia-listed gaming supplier Aristocrat Leisure Ltd.
The index increased by 128.94 points to 1,707.15 during the month, according to figures released by the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM).
Despite the monthly gain, the index remained below year-earlier levels, declining 10.3 percent, or 196.14 points, from June 2025.
Five of the AGEM Index’s nine constituent companies recorded share price gains during June, resulting in five positive and four negative contributions to the benchmark.
Aristocrat Leisure was the biggest contributor to the monthly advance. The company’s shares rose 22.3 percent during June, adding 136.32 points to the AGEM Index.
The second-largest positive contributor was Crane NXT Co, a maker of industrial technology including products for the gaming sector. Its share price climbed 31.7 percent, contributing 27.95 points to the index.
The largest drag on the index came from Japan-listed Konami Group Corp. Its shares declined 6.7 percent in June, reducing the AGEM Index by 37.50 points.
In June, two of the three major U.S. stock indices decreased from the prior month. The Nasdaq fell 2.8 percent over the month, the S&P 500 experienced a 1.1-percent decline, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average improved by 2.5 percent relative to May.
