Huntington Bancshares Plummets 4.53% Amid Sector Pressures Volume Ranks 246th in 520M Trade

Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) closed on October 10, 2025, with a 4.53% decline, trading at $12.85 per share. The stock recorded a trading volume of 520 million dollars, placing it 246th among listed equities on the day. The drop follows mixed market sentiment and sector-specific pressures, though no direct earnings or strategic updates were reported for the company.

Recent analyst commentary highlighted broader market rotation away from regional banks amid shifting interest rate expectations. While HBAN’s fundamentals remain stable, investors appeared to prioritize defensive sectors over mid-cap financials. The stock’s liquidity profile, reflected in its moderate volume rank, suggests limited short-term catalysts for reversal in the absence of new guidance or regulatory developments.

To run this back-test accurately I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Universe • Which market are we drawing the “top-500” from? (e.g. all U.S. listed equities, only S&P 500 constituents, China A-share, etc.) • Do you have a specific stock list or index membership file that defines the eligible universe each day? 2. Signal definition • “Top 500 by daily trading volume” – should the ranking be done on each day’s dollar volume (price × shares) or share turnover? • Do we buy at that day’s close and sell at the next day’s close, or open-to-open? • Any transaction-cost or slippage assumptions? 3. Portfolio construction • Equal-weighted positions across the 500 names, or value-weighted by volume, or something else? 4. Data availability • If you already have access to daily price and volume data for the chosen universe, please let me know the ticker list and data source so I can retrieve it through the interface. • If not, I can recommend freely-accessible datasets, but we’ll need to link them in before back-testing. Once these points are set, I can generate the daily trade signals and feed them into the back-test engine (including automatic rebalancing and holding-period logic). Let me know your preferences and I’ll proceed right away.
