On September 19, 2025, , ranking 456th in market activity. The stock's performance was influenced by sector-specific dynamics and operational updates tied to its core construction materials business. Recent developments highlighted include adjustments in regional pricing strategies and supply chain efficiency initiatives, which analysts suggest could moderate short-term volatility amid broader market uncertainty.

Market participants noted that CRH’s volume-based positioning remains sensitive to macroeconomic signals, particularly in infrastructure-related contracts.

These factors contributed to a measured trading environment, with institutional activity showing a preference for defensive positioning within the materials sector.

I understand the strategy you have in mind, but—given the current tool set at our disposal—there’s no direct way to: Identify (and update daily) the top-500 volume leaders across the entire US equity universe, and Construct and rebalance a 500-stock basket each day for back-testing. All of the built-in back-test engines here work on a single instrument (one ticker) at a time. Here are two practical alternatives: Narrow the universe to a fixed list (for example, the S&P 500 constituents) and back-test a rule such as “buy those constituents whose volume ranks in the top X % each day.” Focus on a liquid ETF that approximates high-volume equities (e.g., SPY, VTI, or a dedicated “high-volume” factor ETF) and measure the performance of a one-day-holding strategy on that vehicle. Either route is feasible with the available tools. Would you like to proceed with one of these adjustments—or perhaps refine the idea in another way?
