S&P 500 Stocks At 52-Week Lows: Monday’s Full List
A tiny list of market laggards features one of the world’s most recognized brands.
Nike, a company with a market value of about $58.0 billion, is now trading at its weakest price of the last year. On a day the S&P 500 has returned +4.0% over the last month, just 2 of its components have fallen to new 52-week lows.
This raises a critical question for any value-oriented investor: is this a sign of fundamental trouble, or a rare chance to look at a market leader under pressure? The full list of names follows.

The table below lists every 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 |
1M % Chg |
1Y % Chg |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NKE | $58.0 Bil | -4.0% | -7.2% | -10.7% | -47.4% |
| ROL | $17.3 Bil | -0.5% | -3.3% | -19.8% | -36.4% |
But is the underlying business also at a low?
The two names on today’s list tell very different stories. Rollins (ROL) has seen the steepest one-month slide, down 19.8%. Yet its revenue grew 9.9% over the last twelve months, suggesting the business itself is expanding.
Nike (NKE) presents a different picture. Its stock has declined 10.7% over the last month, but its revenue growth was just 0.2% over the last twelve months. While it trades at a lower multiple of 18.6 times trailing earnings, the business’s recent expansion has been minimal.
So what does a 52-week low really signal?
A stock at its yearly low is a signal, not a conclusion. It can mark a business with genuine operational problems, or it can flag a solid company whose shares have simply fallen out of favor.
The disciplined move is always the same. Look past the price and check the business fundamentals, from revenue growth to cash flow. A low price on a deteriorating business is no bargain.
A 52-week-low list tells you where the pain is; it does not tell you which of these declines are worth buying. That second question is what our Buy the Dip screen answers, every day: beaten-down names where the fundamentals still hold up.
Weakness Is Information. It Is Not An Instruction
A 52-week low tells you what the market thinks today. It does not tell you what to do, and acting on price alone is how value traps get bought. The missing ingredient is always the same: is the business still sound?
Asking that question across thousands of stocks, every day, is exactly how the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio is built: roughly 30 names that pass the quality screens, held with rules instead of nerve. 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. Let the low list sharpen your watchlist, and let the portfolio carry the risk.
