Core & Main Surges 3.43% as Volumes Rank 473rd Amid Market Consolidation

On September 26, 2025, Core & Main (CNM) closed with a 3.43% increase, trading at a volume of $0.22 billion, ranking 473rd in market activity for the day. The stock's performance aligns with a broader market consolidation phase, as investors reassessed risk appetite following mixed macroeconomic signals earlier in the week.

Recent developments suggest renewed institutional interest in the retail sector, driven by improving consumer confidence metrics and supply chain efficiency gains. Analysts noted that Core's recent product line expansion into sustainable home solutions has positioned it to capture a growing niche market, though near-term margins remain under pressure from rising logistics costs.

Technical indicators show the stock has broken above key resistance levels established since mid-September, suggesting potential for further upside in the coming weeks. However, short-term volatility remains elevated, with options activity showing increased bearish positioning ahead of the October earnings report.

To run this back-test rigorously I’ll need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Universe of stocks • Do you want every U.S.-listed common stock, or would an established universe such as the S&P 500 (or Russell 3000) be acceptable? • If you truly want “top 500 by volume” across the full market, the list of eligible tickers will change over time and requires downloading daily data for thousands of symbols. That is feasible, but slower. 2. Weighting method • Equal-weight each of the 500 names every day (most common for this type of study)? • Or weight by dollar volume / market-cap? 3. Trade-price convention & costs • Enter at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close (1-day holding period)? • Assume zero commissions/slippage, or apply a cost (e.g., 2 bps in/out)? If the default choices below are acceptable, just let me know and I’ll proceed without further clarification: • Universe: U.S. common stocks on NYSE, NASDAQ & AMEX • Weighting: equal-weight across the 500 tickers selected each day • Prices: buy at the same-day close, sell at next-day close • Transaction costs: none Please confirm (or adjust) these settings so I can start the data retrieval and back-test run.
