GE's $1.11B Volume Plunge Drags It to 63rd in Dollar-Volume Amid Regulatory Shifts and Energy Transition Uncertainty

General Electric (GE) closed on September 26, 2025, with a trading volume of $1.11 billion, marking a 42.73% decline from the previous day’s volume and ranking 63rd in dollar-volume among listed stocks. Meanwhile, GE Vernova (GEV) fell 0.39% amid mixed market sentiment. Key developments influencing the stock included regulatory updates surrounding its renewable energy ventures and shifting investor focus toward sector-specific macroeconomic indicators.

Recent disclosures highlighted potential adjustments to GE Vernova’s capital allocation strategy, with management emphasizing long-term infrastructure projects over short-term gains. Analysts noted that these strategic shifts align with broader industry trends but may temporarily weigh on volatility-sensitive positions. Market participants also cited uncertainty in global energy transition funding as a drag on near-term momentum.

I understand the strategy you’d like to test (each day buy the 500 stocks with the highest dollar-volume, hold for one trading day, and repeat from 2022-01-01 to today). To run this properly we need two additional pieces of information: 1. Universe definition—should the ranking pool include every U.S. common share listed on NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX, or do you want to limit it (e.g., S&P 500 constituents, Russell 1000, etc.)? 2. Portfolio construction rule—do you want an equal-weighted position in the 500 names each day (the most common approach), or a volume-weighted / value-weighted alternative? Once this is clarified, I can automatically pull daily dollar-volume data, generate the daily membership list, build an equal-weight (or your preferred weighting) return series, and run the one-day-hold backtest from 2022-01-01 through today, producing full return and risk statistics.
