52-Week High & Low
A backward-looking price-range statistic—not a valuation measure, barrier, or automatic momentum signal.
The 52-week high and low are the highest and lowest selected prices observed over an approximately one-year lookback window. Results depend on trading calendar, intraday versus closing data, corporate-action adjustments, currency, venue, and the exact date range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a new 52-week high mean a stock will continue rising?
No. Momentum effects are statistical and sample-dependent, not guarantees for an individual security. Valuation, liquidity, news, risk, and transaction costs still matter.
Is a stock near its 52-week low a bargain?
No. The low may reflect deteriorating fundamentals, dilution, distress, changing industry conditions, or an earlier price that was too high. Range position is not intrinsic value.
Do 52-week levels act as support or resistance?
They may attract attention, but they are not barriers. Prices can gap or trade through them, and observed behavior depends on timeframe, liquidity, positioning, and market conditions.
Why do providers show different 52-week ranges?
They may use intraday or closing prices, adjusted or unadjusted data, different venues, currencies, calendars, and update times.
