at
the open. The company’s stock fell to as low as $41.98 yesterday after opening at $42.84. By the closing bell, the company’s stock was at $42.75 a share for a gain of 0.94%.
While no company wants to see their stocks fall into a new 52-week low, opportune investors may have reason to celebrate. Bullish investors with a healthy tolerance for risk may view this as a
chance to buy stocks as distressed prices before a bounce back. With that said, whenever a stock falls into new negative territory, there usually is a compelling reason for it. Investors bearish on
the stock might see the stock reaching its lowest price in a year as a sign of growing downward momentum and take it as a good reason to sell their shares. Bulls, though, could likely see a new
52-week low as the stock hitting its low point and anticipate a recovery in the share price.
