August 25, 2016: Here are four stocks trading with relatively heavy volume among 28 equities making new 52-week lows in Thursday’s session. NYSE advancers led decliners by a few percentage points and Nasdaq advancers led decliners by just one percentage point.

Express Inc. (NYSE: EXPR) dropped about 2.1% on Thursday to post a new 52-week low of $11.69 after closing at $11.94 on Wednesday. The stock’s 52-week high is $21.57.
