(Las Vegas).- The AGEM Index recorded a 3.6% monthly increase in May 2026, driven by strong performances from Aristocrat Leisure and Agilysys, even as the index remains 9.4% lower compared to the same period last year.
Monthly Performance Overview
In May 2026, the AGEM Index rose by 54.38 points to 1,578.22, marking a 3.6 percent increase from April. Seven of the nine companies included in the index reported stock price gains, resulting in six positive contributions and three negative ones. Aristocrat Leisure Limited was the largest positive contributor, adding 37.65 points thanks to a 6.0 percent rise in its stock price. Agilysys also posted a notable 35.1 percent increase, contributing 26.28 points to the index. On the downside, Konami Corp. registered a slight stock price increase but suffered a 6.56-point loss due to currency exchange effects.
Broader Market Context
The AGEM Index’s monthly growth came alongside gains in major U.S. stock indices. The NASDAQ surged 8.4 percent, the S&P 500 rose 5.1 percent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 2.8 percent compared to April. Despite these positive movements, the AGEM Index remains 9.4 percent lower year-on-year, reflecting broader challenges in the global gaming equipment sector.
