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 meaningful 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?
Gold miners fade: Gold miners peaked last Monday and plunged the following day as gold suffered its worst single-day drop since the pandemic, down 5.3%. The 11 miners below averaged a 10.9% decline for the week. Historical data suggests gold tends to struggle after such a severe selloff, particularly following extended rallies. This leaves the sector in an awkward place, as most will continue to generate strong cashflow at current prices but valuations might struggle for upside in the absence of higher gold prices.
Miners looking up: Beyond gold, the Materials sector is showing strength. BHP and Fortescue have reached fresh yearly highs on solid iron ore and copper prices. Lithium stocks are also surging, with Liontown and IGO breaking out to new 52-week highs.
REITs looking up: The S&P/ASX 200 Real Estate Index is approaching an all-time high, driven by sharply lower bond yields over the past two weeks. The main catalyst was Australia's weak October 16 jobs report, which saw unemployment unexpectedly jump from 4.3% to 4.5%. The Australian 10-year yield now sits near 4.1%, close to its 12-month low. Several major REITs, including Vicinity Centres, Scentre Group and Mirvac, have hit fresh yearly highs.
Reporting season losers bottoming: Stocks like CSL, Inghams and Sonic Healthcare appear to have found a floor after dipping over 10% on their August FY25 results. Following weeks of consecutive yearly lows, these names have finally stabilised, though IPH and Ebos are still working through the bottoming process. The key lesson: it's usually best to avoid stocks making fresh yearly lows, as finding a bottom typically takes (a long) time.
