Toast Inc Shares Slide 1.81% on Low Volume Ranking 363rd in U.S. Stocks

Toast Inc. (TOST) closed 1.81% lower on Sept. 25, with a trading volume of $310 million, ranking 363rd among U.S. stocks by volume. The decline reflects ongoing investor skepticism toward the restaurant tech platform's ability to sustain growth amid macroeconomic headwinds.

Analysts noted the stock's performance aligns with broader sector trends, as investors remain cautious about near-term profitability expectations for tech-driven SaaS companies. Toast's business model faces challenges in scaling recurring revenue streams while managing rising labor and supply chain costs, which have dampened earnings forecasts for the industry segment.

Strategic initiatives announced earlier this year, including expanded menu management tools and integration with third-party delivery platforms, have yet to translate into measurable revenue acceleration. Market participants continue to monitor the company's Q3 earnings report, due in October, for signs of operational leverage and customer retention improvements.

To construct the back-test precisely I need to confirm a couple of practical details: 1. Universe • Should we rank all U.S. common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + NYSE-Arca) by daily volume, or a narrower group such as the S&P 500 constituents? 2. Trade timing • Buy at the close and exit at the next day’s close (close-to-close), or open-to-open? • Equal-weight each name at entry, with full turnover every day (i.e., reselect the top-500 list daily)? 3. Frictions • Ignore transaction costs and slippage, or apply a specific cost per trade? 4. Benchmark • Any particular benchmark (e.g., SPY) you want the results compared to? Once I have these clarified I can pull the required volume data, generate the daily selection lists, and run the one-day-hold back-test from 2022-01-03 through today.
