Scope, dates and definitions

Proxy: Industrials · XLI. USD returns of the named US sector ETF proxy, not a global sector index. Return prices through 2026-10-30. Fundamental characteristics: Sep 30, 2026 (reported or retrieval; legacy provenance unverified).

* P/E, P/B and P/S describe the proxy's published portfolio valuation; earnings, projected earnings and sales growth retain their published definitions. Dividend yield measures the underlying equity portfolio, not cash distributions. Lower valuation multiples rank first; higher returns, growth and yield rank first. Group medians use covered peers with the same measure. These are descriptive comparisons, not recommendations.

ETF holdings, sector weights, currency exposure and reporting dates affect comparisons. USD adjusted-price returns include distributions where the underlying data permits. Charts use available stored history, not necessarily inception; comparison returns are rebased on common observation dates. Fundamental history requires three verified observations spanning six months and is never inferred from today's ratios.

Earnings (historical) is the provider’s historical earnings growth measure; Earnings (projected) is its long-term projected growth measure. LTM and NTM periods are not verified for these fields. Difference is the selected proxy minus its peer median (or the other proxy on comparison pages): multiples in ×, percentages in percentage points. Colour describes signed returns only, not investment attractiveness. Snapshot ranges connect the two displayed values; they are not universe percentile scales.
