What this screen looks at
The same universe as the 52-week lows screen — every NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX company above $2 billion — filtered to those whose last price is within 3% of their highest print of the year, then ordered by the year-to-date move.
Why highs are harder to read than lows
A stock at a one-year high has already rewarded everyone who owned it. The useful question is no longer “is this cheap” but “is the business doing something that justifies the re-rating, and are the people who know it best still buying?” The breakdown under each name is there to answer the second half of that.
Insider buying at a high is a stronger statement
Insiders buy far more often after a fall than after a rise — purchases into strength are rarer and, by definition, made at prices the buyer could have paid less for months earlier. Where the breakdown shows open-market purchases on a name in this list, it is worth reading who made them.
Where the analyst column tends to sit
Expect small or negative upside on many of these names: targets follow price upward with a lag, so a stock at a high frequently trades above the published consensus. That is information about the analysts as much as about the company.
What this page does not do
It does not identify momentum that will continue, and a company can appear here on a single strong session. Nothing on this page is a recommendation to buy at these levels.
How often this updates
Rebuilt every Friday after the close, from the same universe refresh as the lows screen.
