Welcome back to the 52-Week Series, where we recap the S&P/ASX 200 stocks that have hit fresh yearly highs and lows over the past week. Tracking this data point helps identify emerging trends across various stocks and sectors.
When clusters of stocks within a sector reach new highs or lows, it often points to powerful underlying drivers — such as shifting commodity prices, changing demand patterns (such as AI, pivots into defensive sectors, consumer weakness etc), or companies beating/missing earnings expectations.

Defensive outperformance: A defensive tone dominated this week's 52-week highs list, following the S&P/ASX 200's relatively lacklustre performance last week. Despite declining in four of five sessions, the index managed to slip only 0.49%.
No man's land: Beyond defensives, gold, and a handful of uranium and REIT plays, there's little momentum elsewhere in the market. This quiet period coincides with the market retreating from record highs amid escalating Middle East tensions. The resulting downward pressure will likely produce few stocks reaching fresh highs or lows in the near term, suggesting a period of consolidation or pullback following the recent rally.
