About these figures

Members: the 20 largest companies by market cap in each sector at the close of each quarter-end, with every listed share class of a company counted once. SME, REIT, InvIT and ETF listings are left out. A sector is today's classification, applied to every quarter.
Earnings: owners' profit as filed, including one-off items. The sector figure is the sum of the changes divided by the sum of the base profits taken at their full size, so a loss in the base cannot make it infinite.
EPS: restated to today's share count after bonuses and splits; the median uses only companies whose base EPS was positive.
Price: weighted by market cap at the start of the period, with membership fixed then, so a company that joined because its price rose does not inflate the return.
Each company-quarter is checked against a second source. Where the two disagree the figure is left out of the sector and marked; where only one source exists it is used and marked.
