41 Stocks Just Touched 52-Week Lows

Some of the market's largest companies are hitting new lows even as the broader index climbs.

T-Mobile US, with a market value of about $178.8 billion, is the largest name on today's 52-week-low list. As of Monday, September 21, there are 41 US and Canada-listed stocks in the Trefis coverage universe trading at their 52-week lows. The presence of such large companies is notable while the S&P 500 has returned +1.7% over the last month.

This raises a critical question: are these established businesses showing fundamental damage, or are they simply marked down?

Are these businesses growing or shrinking?

The largest names on the list are not showing signs of contracting sales. T-Mobile US (TMUS) trades at 16.9 times trailing earnings, and its revenue grew 9.7% over the last twelve months, and its free cash flow yield is 9.1%.

PepsiCo (PEP), the second-largest, trades at 16.9 times trailing earnings, and its revenue grew 5.6% over the last twelve months, and its free cash flow yield is 5.2%.

So is a new low a buy signal or a warning?

A list of stocks at 52-week lows is not an automatic shopping list. A low price can mark a genuinely damaged business whose fundamentals are deteriorating. It can also signal a solid company that has simply fallen out of favor with the market.

The disciplined move is always the same. A new low is a reason to check the business, not a reason to buy the stock. The price is the last thing to look at, after the fundamentals are understood.

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.

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 S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400, and the Russell 2000. Watch the low list for information; let a disciplined basket do the buying.
