52-Week Range

The 52-week range is the highest and lowest price a stock has traded at over the past year.

The 52-week high and low bracket everything the market has been willing to pay for a share over the last year. A stock trading near its 52-week high has strong recent momentum; one near its low has been under sustained pressure.

The range says nothing on its own about whether a stock is cheap or expensive — it is context, not valuation. It is most useful alongside fundamentals such as the P/E ratio and earnings trend.

Example

A stock with a 52-week low of $80 and high of $120 trading at $118 is within 2% of its one-year high.
