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 bounces: Gold is working its way through the recent pullback after a parabolic year-to-date rally. The All Ords Gold Index rallied 7.4% last week but remains around 5% below its 17 October record high. Gold sits in a volatile position, supported by broad tailwinds including ETF inflows, central bank buying, the ongoing debasement trade, fears of sticky or reaccelerating inflation, and global fiscal concerns. However, after running 56% year-to-date and trading roughly 15% above its 200-day moving average, a period of consolidation isn't uncommon for assets following such a strong run, typically back toward the 200-day moving average.
Lithium revival: Lithium stocks are looking incredibly strong, with no shortage of catalyst to suggest that the market has finally bottomed after a two-year bear market. The three main catalysts last week include i) China's royalty reform increases lithium royalties from 2-3% to 7% of sales revenue, lifting the domestic cost floor and favouring established spodumene producers; ii) MinRes sells 30% stake to POSCO for US$765m (~A$1.2bn), valuing its lithium business at ~45% above consensus NAV and validating the sector's recovery with the news sending MinRes up 10.8% and iii) Rio Tinto scales back Jadar by placing its $2.4bn Serbian lithium project on care and maintenance, reinforcing supply discipline and removing a significant future supply source from the market.
Industrial strength: Names like Monadelphous, Downer and NRW have surged year-to-date, up 94%, 48% and 29% respectively. Despite recent market volatility, these stocks continue trading near recent highs, demonstrating the ongoing strength in the industrial sector.
Tech woes: The past few weeks have marked a significant deterioration and breakdown across tech names including Qoria, TechnologyOne, Pro Medicus and others. This weakness is now appearing in the 52-week scan, with WiseTech and Xero both hitting fresh 52-week lows last week. Some of this is arguably self-inflicted: WiseTech faces insider trading allegations while Xero reported a mixed FY25 result. Both companies are also integrating major acquisitions, bringing ongoing dilution from capital raisings and execution risks. That said, it's no coincidence this broad weakness is unfolding simultaneously across the sector.
Advertising weakness: REA and Nine Entertainment hitting fresh yearly lows reflects increasingly downbeat commentary from the advertising space. oOh!Media downgraded its FY26 revenue guidance last week due to significant softening in Australian advertising and the loss of the Auckland Transport contract. Nine similarly noted "more challenging than anticipated" advertising conditions, with the market remaining "soft and very short for the run into Christmas."
