WEC Energy Group Slides 0.70% as $260M Volume Ranks 433rd in U.S. Market Activity

On September 25, 2025, WEC Energy Group (WEC) closed with a 0.70% decline, trading at a volume of $260 million, ranking 433rd in market activity among U.S. equities. The stock’s performance reflects broader market dynamics amid mixed energy sector sentiment.

Recent developments impacting WEC’s valuation include regulatory updates in Wisconsin’s utility sector, which may influence capital expenditure plans and dividend policies. Analysts noted that the company’s exposure to regional infrastructure projects remains a key determinant for near-term volatility, though no direct earnings catalysts were reported in the observed period.

To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down several practical details that aren’t yet specified: 1. Universe • Do we rank all U.S. listed common stocks (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX) by ADV, or a narrower list such as the S&P 500 or Russell 3000 constituents? 2. Trade timing • Enter at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close, or enter next-day open and exit same-day close? 3. Portfolio construction • Equal-weight across the 500 names each day, or weight by dollar volume? 4. Frictions • Commissions, bid-ask slippage, or assume zero transaction cost? 5. Benchmark (optional) • Should we compare the strategy to SPY or another index? Once these items are confirmed I can automate: • Pull the daily volume for the chosen universe, • Generate the daily list of top-500 names, • Construct the one-day holding signals, and • Run the back-test engine from 20220103 (first trading day of 2022) through today. Please let me know your preferences on the five points above and I’ll start the data retrieval.
