S&P 500 Stocks At 52-Week Lows: Friday’s Full List
A small list of new lows raises a big question about the difference between a stock price and a business.
While the S&P 500 gained +3.7% over the last month, a handful of its components moved in the opposite direction. On Friday, 5 S&P 500 stocks hit their 52-week lows, with the steepest one-month slide belonging to Lennox International (LII), down 25.1%.
This raises a critical question for any investor looking at a list of beaten-down names: is the business as broken as the stock chart? The full list of stocks at new lows 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LHX | $49.8 Bil | -1.4% | -8.6% | -11.0% | -1.8% |
| PEG | $36.2 Bil | -2.7% | -4.5% | -9.0% | -11.9% |
| NRG | $23.4 Bil | -2.0% | -10.4% | -20.6% | -22.7% |
| LII | $14.0 Bil | -0.8% | -4.5% | -25.1% | -30.9% |
| TTD | $6.3 Bil | -1.1% | -6.8% | -21.5% | -74.9% |
Are these businesses as weak as their stock prices?
Not always. Consider NRG Energy (NRG), which has declined 20.6% over the last month. Over the last twelve months, its revenue grew 12.8%.
Or look at Trade Desk (TTD), which now trades at 15.2 times trailing earnings. Its revenue grew 11.6% over the last twelve months, and its free cash flow yield is 13.7%. In these cases, the stock’s recent weakness contrasts with prior business growth.
So is a 52-week low a red flag or a green light?
It can be either, which is why a low is a starting point for research, not a conclusion. A new low can signal fundamental issues, as with Lennox International (LII), where revenue declined 2.1% over the last twelve months.
But it can also mark a valuable business that is simply out of favor. The disciplined move is to ignore the noise of the price and investigate the health of the underlying company.
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
Every stock on this list got here the same way: the market lost confidence faster than the business could defend itself. Some will earn that confidence back 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.
