S&P 500 Stocks At 52-Week Lows: Tuesday’s Full List
A list of market laggards includes some of the largest names in the index, raising questions about value versus damage.
A company worth about $142.6 billion is trading at its weakest price of the past year. That name, TJX Companies (TJX), leads a list of 12 S&P 500 stocks at new 52-week lows as of Tuesday. With its stock down 19.9% over the last month, the central question is what this list truly represents: broken companies or simply marked-down businesses.
The full list of names follows below.

Is a growing business on sale?
Stryker (SYK), the second-largest company on the list with a market value of about $106.0 billion, warrants a closer look. The stock has declined 18.5% over the last month. Yet over the last twelve months, the company’s revenue grew 8.5%. This is a sharp divergence between recent market price and recent business performance.
A low price is a starting point, not a conclusion.
A 52-week-low list is not an automatic signal to buy or to sell. It is a list of stocks the market has punished, fairly or not. A low can mark genuine fundamental damage, or it can be an opportunity to examine a business whose price has detached from its underlying operations. The disciplined move is always to check the business before acting on the price.
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.
