S&P 500 Stocks At 52-Week Lows: Friday’s Full List
A single name from the advertising industry hits a new low, raising questions about its sharp divergence from the market.
Just 1 S&P 500 stock closed Friday at a 52-week low. The market itself has been firm, with the S&P 500 returning +2.9% over the last month. The lone company on the list, Trade Desk (TTD), has moved in the opposite direction.
The stock has declined 30.1% over the last month, a steep slide that raises a central question for investors: what does the business look like behind the price? The full data follows.

The table below lists the stock at its 52-week low, largest first, with one-day, one-week, one-month, and one-year returns:
| Tickers | Market Cap |
1D % Chg |
1W % Chg |

Trade Desk’s decline contrasts with its recent growth.
While the stock is at its weakest point of the year, the company’s revenue grew 11.6% over the last twelve months. The recent price drop has left Trade Desk trading at 15.9 times trailing earnings. For additional context on its financial position, its free cash flow yield is 13.1%.
A low price is a starting point, not a conclusion.
A 52-week-low list can contain genuinely damaged companies, but it can also surface temporarily marked-down businesses. A stock hitting its low for the year is a signal that something has changed, either in the company’s operations or in market perception.
The disciplined move is to treat the price as a prompt to check the business fundamentals. The price is a question about the company’s value, not the final answer.
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.
Catching Falling Prices Is A Skill. Not Needing To Is A Strategy
Buying stocks at 52-week lows works brilliantly on the survivors and painfully on the rest, and nobody rings a bell to tell you which is which. The honest answer for most investors is to stop needing that call.
The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio holds roughly 30 businesses selected for the traits that make recoveries likely in the first place: consistent cash generation, strong margins, resilient balance sheets. 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. Watch the low list for information; let a disciplined basket do the buying.
