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.

What Does the Data Tell Us?
A roaring commodity bull market: The commodity bull market (excluding iron ore) is firing on all cylinders, with the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index surging almost 10% since mid-October and now within an arms reach of January 2024 record highs. While heavyweight iron miners like BHP and Rio Tinto remain relatively rangebound, a diverse range of other commodities are driving the Index toward record territory, including surging gold and copper miners, strategic rare earth stocks, and mining services companies.
Industrials continue to climb: Industrial stocks continue pushing higher on the back of strong activity and positive newsflow. Last month, Monadelphous and Downer announced new contracts worth $220 million and $3.0 billion respectively. Valuations across the sector are relatively elevated, but tailwinds from rising commodity prices, increased defence spending, and government infrastructure projects continue to support momentum.
Big Four showing gains: Westpac, NAB and ANZ all posted solid gains last week, reaching fresh yearly highs, while Commonwealth Bank finally broke out of a three-month downtrend.
Reporting season laggards remain under pressure: We seen to highlight this recurring trend every week. Stocks hitting fresh yearly lows are predominantly those that disappointed during August reporting season, particularly companies that issued weaker-than-expected FY26 guidance. Many suffered brutal one-day selloffs on results day, with Woolworths, CSL, IPH, Sonic Healthcare and Inghams among the most notable casualties.
