Rows cover this sector's members of the investable US market (>$1B cap). A row's last-close move is the median member change, while the sector card you clicked shows the cap-weighted mean, so the two are different statistics and will differ. P/E is the median of profitable members, and the valuation chips measure a row against the sector's own median. Each price figure uses a company's own latest close, which can be up to five sessions behind. Not investment advice.
