27 Stocks Hit 52-Week Lows On Monday
A list of the year's weakest stocks includes some of the market's largest and fastest-growing names.
The Casinos & Gaming, Independent Power Producers & Energy Traders, and Building Products industries each placed 2 names on today's 52-week-low list. In total, 27 companies with market values above $500 million are at their weakest prices of the past year. The largest is TJX Companies (TJX), valued at about $148.1 billion.
The presence of such a large company raises a critical question for any investor scanning these names for value: when a stock hits a low, is it the business or the stock price that is actually broken? The full list of names follows.

Is this a business problem or a stock problem?
TJX Companies (TJX) is a clear example of this divergence. The retailer's stock has declined 14.6% over the last month, a period where the S&P 500 returned +2.7%. Yet its business fundamentals tell a different story, as revenue grew 7.7% over the last twelve months. The company trades at 24.4 times trailing earnings. A similar pattern appears in Martin Marietta Materials (MLM), the second-largest name on the list, which saw its revenue grow 14.8% over the last twelve months.
A 52-week low is a starting point, not a conclusion.
A list like this is not an automatic buy signal. A stock at its yearly low can mark a permanently damaged business, or it can mark a temporarily marked-down one. The disciplined move is to investigate the business behind the ticker. A weak stock price is an alert, but the quality of the underlying company is the only thing that determines if it is an opportunity.
If any of these names tempt you, resist buying a price alone. Our Buy the Dip screen asks the follow-up question that matters: which marked-down stocks still have the growth and cash generation to recover.
The Low List Is A Symptom. Own The Discipline Instead
Stocks land on this list for different reasons, and the businesses behind them are in very different shape; what they share is that the market's verdict arrived faster than any of them could answer it. Some will answer it in time and some will not, and telling them apart name by name is unforgiving work.
That work is what the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio systematizes: about 30 quality businesses screened for the cash flow and balance-sheet strength that let a company fight through a bad year, sized and rebalanced by rules. It has a track record of outpacing a benchmark that combines the three major indices - the S&P 500, S&P Mid-cap, and Russell 2000. Read the list; own the discipline.
