Stocks near 52-week High

Stocks near 52-week High are the stocks whose prices are trading in their 1-year high range. More number of stocks trading near 52-week high prices signifies bullish market sentiment.

Figure 1: Stocks near 52-week High

In case of current market scenario, only 3.61% of the total stocks are in 52-week high. The 6 Stocks trading in their 1-year high price are NICA, NADEP, CMF1, SAEF, NICGF and NSEWA.

Stock near 52-week Low

These are the stocks that are trading in their 1-year low price range. High number of stocks near 52-week low prices signifies bearish market sentiment.

Figure 2: Stocks near 52-week Low

16.87% of the total stocks are being traded near 52-week low. 28 companies are being traded in their 1-year low prices. Trading in 52-week low prices also means that there is weak market confidence.

Monthly Stock Outlook

This section allows users to see in which months the company has higher chances of closing price higher than in which it opened- along with percentage gain or loss on average. Taking an example of NMB Bank, according to its stock performance since 2011, NMB bank has closed higher in 85.71% of July month. In terms of price change, it has gained the most (9.05% on average) in April month.

Like monthly stock outlook, this section also allows user to see in which month the index has higher chances of closing in price higher than in which it opened- along with percentage gain or loss on average.
