Past patterns do not decide future prices. Price index only, as NEPSE publishes it; dividends not included.
How this is worked out
- A month’s return is its last close against the last close of the month before, from NEPSE’s published index closes.
- A month counts only with at least 10 sessions and the month before it held; the month in progress is left out. Nothing is estimated.
- A month’s average and median show once it has 5 years. Until then the page gives the years and how many rose: one year is a fact, not a pattern.
- Nepali months run Baisakh to Chaitra (BS), from NEPSE’s same closes placed on the Nepali calendar.
- NEPSE’s own data service keeps about a year of history, so most months hold one or two years today; the grid grows as months end.
