What is the point? A 52-week low often reflects deep pessimism, but also potential opportunity. This price point can signal capitulation, setting the stage for mean reversion or contrarian entry. It is where risk and reward start to skew interestingly. But of course, a trade at this level requires deep conviction. In above, we find FactSet Research Systems (FDS) Attractive

Tempted to buy some of these stocks at their current low? That would be a good idea if you are sure a particular stock has bottomed out. But it is a rather risky trade. In contrast, the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 – the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
