Exelon Traders Note 357th Market Activity Rank Amid Modest Gains

On October 1, 2025, Exelon (EXC) traded with a volume of $0.35 billion, ranking 357th in market activity. The stock closed with a 0.11% gain, reflecting modest movement amid broader market dynamics. The trading session highlighted the company's position in utility sector volatility while maintaining a relatively low profile in terms of liquidity.

Recent developments suggest mixed technical pressure on the stock. Analyst commentary emphasized the interplay between regulatory frameworks and energy transition initiatives, with some observers noting potential headwinds from capital allocation strategies. Infrastructure funding discussions in key legislative corridors have created uncertainty, though no direct policy changes impacting Exelon's operations were announced.

Market participants are monitoring the company's balance sheet resilience against rising interest rate expectations. The utility sector's sensitivity to borrowing costs remains a focal point, with Exelon's debt-to-equity ratio drawing particular attention. While no earnings releases or guidance revisions were reported, the stock's performance aligns with sector-wide trends rather than company-specific catalysts.

To run this back-test I need to build a daily, equal-weighted portfolio of the 500 U.S. stocks that trade the greatest dollar volume, buy them at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close, from 2022-01-03 through the present. Because this requires: 1. A clearly defined stock universe (e.g., all U.S. common stocks, Russell 3000 members, etc.). 2. Treatment of corporate actions (splits, delistings) and survivors-bias adjustments. 3. Assumptions on frictions (transaction costs, slippage). 4. A multi-asset back-test engine (our current single-ticker engine can’t yet hold 500 names simultaneously). Please let me know: • Which universe should we rank (e.g., all NYSE + NASDAQ common shares, Russell 3000, or another list)? • Whether to include any trading-cost assumption (e.g., 5 bp round trip)? • If an approximate “index” back-test (simulating the strategy’s daily P&L in a single return series) is acceptable, or if you need the full position-level portfolio analytics. Once I have that information I can propose an implementation plan or recommend an alternative approach within the current tool set.
