Sector and Industry#

Sector class#

The Sector and Industry modules provide access to the Sector and Industry information.

`Sector`(key[, session, region])	Represents a financial market sector and allows retrieval of sector-related data such as top ETFs, top mutual funds, and industry data.
`Industry`(key[, session, region])	Represents an industry within a sector.

Sample Code#

To initialize, use the relevant sector or industry key as below.

import yfinance as yf

tech = yf.Sector('technology')
software = yf.Industry('software-infrastructure')

# Common information
tech.key
tech.name
tech.symbol
tech.ticker
tech.overview
tech.top_companies

# Sector information
tech.top_etfs
tech.top_mutual_funds
tech.industries

# Industry information

The modules can be chained with Ticker as below.

import yfinance as yf
# Ticker to Sector and Industry
msft = yf.Ticker('MSFT')
tech = yf.Sector(msft.info.get('sectorKey'))
software = yf.Industry(msft.info.get('industryKey'))

# Sector and Industry to Ticker
tech_ticker = tech.ticker
tech_ticker.info
software_ticker = software.ticker
software_ticker.history()

By default Sector and Industry return U.S. data. Pass a Yahoo region (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, case-insensitive) to scope top_companies, top_etfs, top_mutual_funds and the industry top performing/growth lists:

yf.Sector("technology", region="GB").top_companies     # UK
yf.Sector("technology", region="DE").top_companies     # Germany
yf.Industry("software-infrastructure", region="JP")    # Japan
