October 19, 2016: Here are four stocks trading with relatively heavy volume among 45 equities making new 52-week lows in Wednesday’s session. On the NYSE, advancers led decliners by more than 2 to 1 and on the Nasdaq advancers led decliners by more than 1.5 to 1.
Reynolds American Inc. (NYSE: RAI) dropped about 8.2% on Wednesday to post a new 52-week low of $43.38 against a 52-week high of $54.48. Volume of about 11 million was more than double the daily average of around 4.4 million. The stock closed at $47.27 on Tuesday night. Third-quarter results missed estimates and the company announced a CEO change to take effect next year.
