Summary
Top Losers or Decliners ranks eligible securities that recorded the largest negative price performance in the selected market view and comparison period.
The list helps investors identify where the strongest measured downward movements are occurring.
Why it matters
Top Losers can highlight areas of market weakness and securities experiencing negative price pressure. It can also help investors compare a security with other securities over the same period.
The ranking may prompt further review of company announcements, market conditions, liquidity, or other factors that could have contributed to the move.
How the ranking works
Securities are generally ranked using the negative percentage change between the latest eligible price and the relevant reference price. The exact result depends on the period, filters, and security universe shown in the view.
A security must normally have the prices needed for the comparison to be included.
How to Calculate it
% Change= Latest price- Reference Price/Reference Price * 100
How to read it
A higher position means the security recorded a larger decline according to the displayed ranking measure. Review the percentage change together with the net price change and the level of trading activity.
A large decline on substantial traded value may indicate stronger market participation than a similar decline caused by a small or isolated trade.
Things to keep in mind
A place in Top Losers does not by itself show that a security is unsuitable or that its price will continue to fall. A sharp decline may reflect new information, low liquidity, a price adjustment, or the effect of the selected comparison point.
Investors should review the security’s fundamentals, announcements, valuation, and risks before drawing conclusions from the ranking.
