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?
A wild market: The S&P/ASX 200 is within 1% of all-time highs, yet 26 constituents are trading at 52-week lows and only 17 are at yearly highs. Taking a closer look, 49 are trading up or down more than 15% year-to-date, and 107 are in the red for the year. The headline number flatters what is a choppy market beneath the surface.
Banks continue to make headway: All banks beat consensus expectations, with ANZ, Westpac and NAB rallying to fresh yearly highs, with some touching all-time highs. The ex-CBA big four have all put in remarkable runs, each up around 35% over the past twelve months.
Mining heavyweights turn up: Recent commodity price volatility has seen most miners pull back 5-15% from recent highs, though BHP and Rio Tinto both tagged fresh 52-week highs. BHP surged 4.7% last Tuesday after its first-half FY26 result broadly beat market expectations, including a stronger-than-expected dividend.
Tech mixed: It was a solid week overall for tech, with the S&P/ASX 200 Technology index bouncing 6.5%, though the sector gave back some ground late with the index falling 2.3% on Friday and a further 2.7% today. Volatility remains a constant as the sector continues to digest the AI disruption theme.
Healthcare stocks struggle: The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index finished 3.0% higher last week, following a 12.6% selloff the week prior. The sector looks oversold but remains weighed down by disappointing earnings from heavyweights CSL and Cochlear.
