Yesterday we did a post on the S&P 500's gain since the March 9th low. Below we take a look at the best and worst performing S&P 500 stocks since March 9th. Interestingly, while the S&P 500 itself is up 62% since the low, the average stock in the index is up nearly twice that at 108%. An unweighted version of the index has done much better than the weighted one.
As shown in the first table, Genworth Financial (GNW) is up the most in the S&P 500 since the low with a gain of 1,064%. Office Depot (ODP) is the only other stock that is up more than 1,000% (1,049%). FITB, GCI, and WYN round out the top five biggest winners. The Financials are up the most of the ten sectors since March 9th, but 3 of the top 5 stocks are Consumer Discretionary names. The most notable names on the list of winners include Ford (F), Capital One (COF), Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Bank of America (BAC), and AIG.
It must be pretty depressing to own a stock that's down since March 9th. Only 16 stocks currently in the S&P 500 are in the red since the low, and they are listed below. As shown, MetroPCS (PCS) is down the most at -52.2%, followed by APOL (-15%), DF (-10%), GENZ (-9.25%), and FDO (-7.90%).
Below we highlight the three best performing stocks in each of the ten S&P 500 sectors since March 9th.
