5/26/2026 - This post flags S&P 500 stocks with new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows on an absolute price basis and/or relative to the S&P 500 using weekly closing basis data as of 5/22/2026.
Table 1: Stocks with new 52-week absolute and relative price highs - absolute highs confirmed by relative leadership vs. the S&P 500.
Table 2: Stocks with new 52-week absolute price highs - strong absolute price trends
Table 3: Stocks with new 52-week highs relative to the S&P 500 - confirmed leadership trends vs. the S&P 500.
Table 4: Stocks with new 52-week absolute and relative price lows - absolute lows confirmed by relative lagging trends vs. the S&P 500.
Table 5: Stocks with new 52-week absolute price lows - weak absolute price trends.
Table 6: Stocks with new 52-week relative lows vs. the S&P 500 - confirmed lagging trends vs. the S&P 500.
New 52-week highs on both an absolute and relative price basis suggest strength and leadership. In other words, relative price strength is confirming absolute price upside for these stocks. We view new absolute and relative price highs as bullish for these stocks. See Table 1 below.
Table 1: S&P 500 stocks with both 52-week absolute highs and 52-week relative highs

Stocks with new 52-week absolute highs but without 52-week relative highs vs. the S&P 500. These stocks show strong absolute price uptrends on a weekly closing price basis. See Table 2 below.

Table 3 below shows S&P 500 stocks that ended last week with 52-week relative highs (aka leadership) but with absolute prices below their 52-week highs. We view relative leadership as positive for these stocks.

None - All S&P 500 stocks reaching 52-week relative highs also hit 52-week absolute highs last week.
New 52-week lows on both an absolute and relative price basis suggest weakness and a lagging trend. In other words, relative price weakness is confirming absolute price downside for these stocks. We view this as bearish. See Table 4 below
