Charter Communications Shares Drop 3.76% with 139th-Ranked Liquidity as Volume-Driven Strategy Surpasses Benchmark by 137.53%

Charter Communications (CHTR) fell 3.76% on July 31, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.96 billion, ranking 139th among U.S. equities by liquidity. The decline occurred amid broader market dynamics where high-liquidity stocks saw mixed performance, with volume-driven strategies showing strong historical returns.

Market activity highlighted the influence of trading volume on short-term equity performance. A backtested strategy purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day delivered a 166.71% return from 2022 to July 30, 2025—well above the benchmark’s 29.18% gain. This suggests high-liquidity stocks, including Charter, may offer outsized returns in volatile environments, though recent sector-specific factors could temporarily suppress individual names like CHTR.

The 166.71% cumulative return of the volume-based strategy from 2022 to July 30, 2025, significantly exceeded the benchmark’s 29.18%, generating an excess return of 137.53%. This underscores the potential of liquidity-focused approaches in capturing market momentum, particularly in periods of elevated trading activity and shifting investor sentiment.
