% from 52-Week Highs

Friday, January 16, 2015 at 11:52AM
Below is a look at the average percentage that stocks in the S&P 1500 (which includes large, mid and smallcaps) are from their respective 52-week highs by sector. In the S&P 1500 as a whole, stocks are currently down an average of 15.71% from their 52-week high. In the Energy sector, the average decline is a whopping 45.56%. The Materials sector is the second worst at -21.65%, followed by Industrials at -16.53%. Utilities stocks are the closest to their 52-week highs, which isn't surprising given their massive run in 2014 and their outperformance so far this year as well.

While we're still in a bull market, these numbers show that from an unweighted perspective across all market caps, things are not quite as rosy as you might think.
