Dominion Energy’s Trading Volume Plunges 45.94% to 360th in U.S. Rankings Amid Modest Price Drop and Rising Relative Strength

On August 6, 2025, Dominion Energy (D) traded with a volume of $0.33 billion, a 45.94% decline from the previous day, ranking 360th in trading activity among U.S. equities. The stock closed down 0.18%, reflecting modest pressure amid mixed market conditions.

Dominion Energy’s Relative Strength (RS) Rating improved to 72 from 69 earlier in the week, signaling enhanced market leadership relative to peers. This metric, which evaluates a stock’s performance against others over the past 52 weeks, suggests the company is gaining traction in its recovery trajectory. The upgrade aligns with the firm’s recent 15% year-over-quarter earnings-per-share growth and 9% revenue increase, reinforcing its position as a top performer in the Utility-Diversified sector.

Strategies leveraging liquidity concentration in high-volume stocks have shown significant short-term returns. A backtested approach of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, far outpacing the benchmark’s 29.18% gain. This underscores the role of liquidity and trading activity in driving immediate price movements, particularly in volatile markets.
