72 Stocks Hit 52-Week Lows On Wednesday
The falling prices of household names obscure the more crucial story found in their fundamentals.
As of Wednesday, September 9, 72 US and Canada-listed stocks with a market value above $500 million are trading at their 52-week lows. The list is notably concentrated in the Consumer Discretionary sector, which accounts for 25 of the names. The largest company present is McDonald’s (MCD), with a market value of about $179.7 billion.
When a company of that scale hits a yearly low, while the S&P 500 has returned 16.9% over the last year, the essential question is whether the business has weakened with the stock price. The full list follows.

Some of the largest names on this list are still growing.
The three largest companies hitting new lows show a disconnect between recent stock performance and longer-term business results. McDonald’s stock has declined 6.7% over the last month, yet its revenue grew 6.3% over the last twelve months. TJX Companies (TJX) saw its stock slide 20.3% over the last month, while its revenue grew 7.7% over the last twelve months. Lowe’s Companies (LOW) is down 9.3% over the last month, while its twelve-month revenue growth was 8.2%.
A low price is a starting point, not a conclusion.
A 52-week-low list is not an automatic buy signal. It is a list of businesses whose market prices have fallen out of favor. That weakness could reflect genuine fundamental damage, or it could be an opportunity to acquire a solid business at a marked-down price. The disciplined investor’s work begins here: checking the health of the underlying business before making a judgment on the stock.
If any of these names tempt you, resist buying on 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.
