| Notes |
| Data sourced from IRESS Market Technology Limited. EPS Growth compared with the pcp is shown in most columns except the first half years which show their percentage of full year EPS. In a handful of cases, unadjusted share splits, or changes between positive and negative values, may give strange changes in ratios. |
