What is a 52-week low?

A 52-week low is the lowest price a stock has traded at over the previous 52 weeks (one calendar year). It signals sustained selling pressure and is a key technical support reference.

Should I buy stocks at 52-week lows?

Not automatically. A stock at a 52-week low may be a value opportunity or a deteriorating business. Always research the reason for the decline and evaluate whether fundamentals support recovery.

How is "distance from low" calculated?

Distance from low = (current price − 52-week low) ÷ 52-week low × 100. A value of 5% means the stock is 5% above its annual floor.

About This List

A 52-week low is the lowest price a stock has traded at over the past 52 weeks. Stocks appearing on this list are within 10% of that annual floor — in a zone of significant technical weakness.

The interpretation of a 52-week low depends heavily on your investment approach. Momentum investors treat it as a clear warning sign: a stock making new annual lows is in a confirmed downtrend, with institutional sellers still in control. They avoid these names until a technical reversal is established — typically a pattern of higher lows and a break above a declining moving average.

Contrarian value investors view annual lows differently. Stocks at their lows are priced for pessimism, sometimes excessively so. When a company's fundamentals remain intact — strong cash flow, low debt, durable business model — but the stock has fallen sharply due to sector rotation or temporary earnings pressure, the low can represent a compelling entry point. The key question is whether the decline reflects a temporary problem or a permanent one. Check recent earnings reports, debt levels, and the stated reason for the decline before drawing any conclusion.
