Why do 52-Week Highs and Lows Matter
Here are some of the key points our first 52-Week article:
A research thesis by Thomas J. George and Chuan-Yang Hwang titled The 52-Week High and Momentum Investing concludes that stocks nearing their 52-week high tend to outperform in the future, surpassing the predictive power of past returns.
US trader Mark Minervini also notes that “when you see a growing number of names in a particular industry making new 52-week highs (especially coming off a market low), this could be an indication that a group advance is underway.”
1851 Capital Chief Investment Officer Chris Stott says the numbers are useful in helping to determine which stocks have the momentum to keep making fresh highs. The data is used to identify continuous winners and generate fresh ideas.
What Does the Data Tell Us
Intensifying trends: Recent market movements have widened the gap between thriving and struggling sectors. Stocks from the Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Real Estate sectors have been consistently reaching new 52-week highs. Financials continue to climb following a strong August reporting season, while Real Estate stocks gain from lower bond yields, with the US 2-year yield falling to its lowest level since September 2022. On the other hand, sectors like Energy and Materials have been sinking to fresh lows. This week has seen these trends become even more pronounced. The resource sector is facing major challenges due to growth concerns, especially in China and the US. As a consequence, iron ore prices have fallen to a near two-year low of US$92 per tonne, and oil prices have dropped to their lowest levels since June 2023.
