Coterra Energy Shares Surge 1.31% as Trading Volume Spikes 65.61% to $320M Ranking 397th in Market Activity

Coterra Energy (CTRA) saw a 1.31% rise on October 1, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.32 billion, marking a 65.61% increase from the previous day. The stock ranked 397th in trading activity across the market.

Recent developments indicate heightened investor interest in CTRAs liquidity profile, driven by its position in the energy sector. The surge in volume suggests potential short-term speculative activity, though long-term fundamentals remain tied to broader market dynamics and sector-specific factors.

To run this back-test robustly I need to pin down a few practical details. Market universe specifics include defining the scope of securities (e.g., U.S. common stocks on NYSE or NASDAQ) and excluding non-equity instruments like ETFs or ADRs. Trade-price conventions must clarify entry/exit timing—whether close-to-close or open-to-close—while frictional costs require assumptions on commissions and slippage (defaulting to zero commissions and 5 bp round-trip slippage if unspecified). Re-balancing on days with fewer than 500 liquid names, such as holidays, will depend on whether available assets are acceptable. Once these parameters are finalized, the daily position list and signals can be generated for execution.
