Historical Context - YTD and 4 week Lookbacks

Standout winners and losers for different lookback periods are shown below including their sub-industries.

YTD Lookback

3 stocks >50% YTD led by ROKU +107%. 13 stocks (~1 of every 4.5) are down more than -25%.

4 Week Lookback

1 stock >15% over the past 4 weeks and 6 down more than -15%. Look out below AMC. Note that YTD through 2023-07-24 AMC was +49% but since then has cratered -87%. The stock is still $7.34/share, more room to fall. Do you feel lucky? Not much has been happening in its Diversified Entertainment sub-industry over the past 10 weeks, does not appear much lift is going to come from there.
