Jabil Stock Plunges 6.69% on $680M Volume, Ranks 173th in Market Liquidity

Jabil (JBL) experienced a notable decline of 6.69% on September 25, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.68 billion, ranking it 173rd in terms of liquidity within the broader market. The stock’s performance was influenced by sector-specific dynamics and investor sentiment shifts tied to supply chain and manufacturing sector developments. Analysts highlighted that the move reflected broader market reassessment of earnings visibility and operational efficiency metrics among contract manufacturers.

Market participants observed that Jabil’s trading activity aligned with short-term volatility patterns in the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) sector. While no direct corporate announcements impacted the stock, macroeconomic factors including interest rate expectations and global demand for consumer electronics contributed to the downward pressure. The volume surge suggested increased speculative activity, though position-taking remained mixed among institutional and retail investors.

To run this back-test rigorously we will need to make (or confirm) several practical details up-front: Market universe — Do you want all common stocks listed on NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX, or a different universe (e.g., only S&P 500 constituents)? Selection rule (rebalancing) — Each trading day we rank that day’s volume and buy the 500 names with the highest share volume, hold one trading day, then close the positions — correct? Equal-weight allocation to each of the 500? Pricing convention and costs — Enter at the day’s close and exit at the next day’s close? Ignore commissions/slippage? Benchmark (optional) — Should we compare against SPY or another benchmark index? Once we lock these down I can generate the daily trade signals, feed them to the back-test engine, and return the performance summary and graphics. Please confirm (or adjust) the four items above so I can proceed.
