Hit 52 weeks low last week

Screening Filters

1. market_cap: max 50,000,000

   • Purpose: Limits the search to very small companies.
   • Rationale: Since the earlier request already specified stocks with a market cap under $50 million, this keeps the screen focused on micro-cap names, which are often the kind of stocks that can make new lows quickly due to lower liquidity and higher volatility.

2. new_high_low: 52w_Low

   • Purpose: Finds stocks that have recently hit a 52-week low.
   • Rationale: This directly matches the user’s request for stocks that “hit 52-week low last week,” identifying securities that are trading at or near their lowest level over the past year.

3. week_price_change_pct: max 0

   • Purpose: Filters out stocks that rose during the last week and keeps those that were flat or down.
   • Rationale: A stock that hit a 52-week low last week is typically under near-term selling pressure. Requiring weekly price change to be non-positive helps ensure the results reflect stocks that are still weak rather than recovering sharply after the low.

Why Results Match:

• The 52-week low filter is the most direct match to the user’s request.
• The market cap filter preserves the original constraint from the prior query, keeping the screen aligned with small-cap names.
• The weekly price change filter helps refine the list to stocks that remain weak over the recent week, which increases the likelihood that the results are relevant to a “hit 52-week low last week” screen.
