We recently published a list of Top 20 Falling Stocks with Unusual Volume. In this article, we are going to take a look at where QXO, Inc. (NYSE:QXO) stands against other top falling stocks with unusual volume.
Uncertainty around tariffs and macroeconomic conditions has dented investor confidence, resulting in stock prices falling. While some stocks have come under pressure due to the above two reasons, others have simply followed the market direction or have dipped for company-specific reasons.
Regardless of the reasons for stocks going down, falling stocks provide an opportunity for fresh investors to get in at good prices. Once the risks subside, these stocks usually recover quickly as well. We decided to uncover these stocks and see if it makes sense to put money in them to take advantage of the ongoing market turmoil.
To come up with our list of top 20 stocks falling with unusual volume, we looked at stocks over $300 million in market cap, their one-week performance, and used relative volume to detect the unusual volume activity.
Relative volume compares the daily volume to the three-month average trading volume of the stock, making it easy to detect spikes in volume. These spikes usually signal something important is happening, which, when combined with falling prices, becomes a red flag that investors can’t ignore.
