52-Week Radar: Stocks at the Top vs. Bottom of the Range
What if you could tell, at a glance, whether a stock is trading close to its best or worst level over the past
year?
That's exactly what the 52-Week Radar helps visualize. Instead of comparing stocks by price, it maps
each stock against its own 52-week trading range.
A reading close to 100% means the current price is near the stock's 52-week high, while a reading near
0% means it's trading close to its 52-week low. If a stock falls below its previous 52-week low, it is
flagged as a New Low.
For example, Damaan Islamic Insurance (BEMA) is trading at 100% of its 52-week range, with its current
price sitting around its 52-week high of QAR 5.400, up from a low of QAR 3.921.
Estithmar Holding (IGRD) is also near its peak at 98% of its range, trading close to its 52-week high of
QAR 4.445 after reaching a low of QAR 3.435.
Meanwhile, Doha Insurance Group (DOHI) is at 95% of its range, approaching its 52-week high of QAR
3.045.
On the other end, Widam Food Company (WDAM) sits at just 12% of its range, much closer to its 52-
week low of QAR 1.358 than its high of QAR 2.310.
Ezdan Real Estate (ERES) is even lower at 8%, trading near its 52-week low of QAR 0.795 compared with
a high of QAR 1.290.
Gulf International Services (GISS) has gone one step further, breaking below its previous 52-week low of
QAR 1.817, earning the New Low label.
For investors, this isn't a buy or sell signal by itself. Instead, it's a quick way to identify which stocks are
showing strong momentum and which ones may warrant a closer look. The next step is understanding
why a stock is near its highs or lows by examining its earnings, valuation, and business fundamentals
before making an investment decision.
