Sector medians September 2026 — every sector's AKM2 profile

The median per sector in the cross-tabulation's 100-company universe, underlying data created 2026-09-03: technology 61 · consumer 60,5 · industrials 60 · communication 60 · energy 58 · healthcare 56,5 · real estate 50 · growth 43 · materials 42 · financials 41 (AKM2 points, median over the group's measured companies). Highest median: technology 61. Lowest: financials 41.

How the median is calculated

AKM2 is AKM1's 20 variables reweighted according to the akm2-2026 weight profile with automatic modules from the module registry — the same composite that the cross-tabulation's rows carry. The median follows the peer engine's contract word for word: the group is the cross-tabulation's canonical sectors (10 companies each), the median is calculated over the group's measured companies, and an even number yields the mean of the two middle values. The selection dependence is visible in the reference: 2026-09-03 · 100-company universe.

Every sector — median, dispersion and extremes

• technology — median 61 · 10 measured of 10 · range 37–78 (lowest Sinch, highest Logitech International)
• consumer — median 60,5 · 10 measured of 10 · range 19–70 (lowest Electrolux, highest H & M Hennes & Mauritz)
• industrials — median 60 · 10 measured of 10 · range 51–85 (lowest ASSA ABLOY, highest Industrivärden)
• communication — median 60 · 10 measured of 10 · range 39–68 (lowest Warner Bros. Discovery, highest Tele2)
• energy — median 58 · 10 measured of 10 · range 31–77 (lowest RWE, highest Chevron)
• healthcare — median 56,5 · 10 measured of 10 · range 46–66 (lowest Fresenius, highest Novo Nordisk)
• real estate — median 50 · 10 measured of 10 · range 42–60 (lowest Prologis, highest Diös Fastigheter)
• growth — median 43 · 10 measured of 10 · range 25–58 (lowest Polestar Automotive Holding UK, highest Truecaller)
• materials — median 42 · 10 measured of 10 · range 31–79 (lowest Stora Enso, highest Newmont)
• financials — median 41 · 10 measured of 10 · range 30–80 (lowest Nordea Bank, highest Investor)

A comparability note: Industrivärden (industrials) and Investor (financials) are investment companies — their financial ratios reflect the market values of their holdings (net asset value), not an operating business, so the group's median mixes two different company forms. That is information, not an error.

The boundary rule — and why no row is missing

The peer engine's boundary rule is canon: a group with fewer than 5 measured companies is never reported ('too few measured' — the engine never guesses). In this underlying dataset, all 10 sector groups have 10 measured companies each, so no row is missing.

The change since the previous edition

This is the series' first edition — no previous month to compare with. From the next edition, each sector's change will be reported here; an unchanged median is written 'unchanged' (nothing moving is also an outcome).
