James JHX Trading Volume Surges 74 to Rank 498th Yet Shares Drop 5.64 Amid Liquidity Spike

On September 24, 2025, James (JHX) recorded a trading volume of $0.19 billion, marking a 73.86% increase from the previous day and ranking 498th among active stocks. The stock closed 5.64% lower despite the surge in liquidity.

Recent market activity suggests heightened short-term volatility for James. The sharp rise in trading volume without a corresponding price rebound indicates potential profit-taking or hedging pressures. Analysts note that the stock’s performance aligns with broader sector-specific corrections, though no direct catalysts tied to James’ fundamentals were disclosed in the reporting period.

For the back-test parameters, the following assumptions will be applied: the universe includes all common stocks listed on NYSE and NASDAQ, excluding ETFs and ADRs. Each day, the 500 highest-dollar-volume names will be ranked and entered at the next day’s open, with positions closed at the day’s close. Equal-dollar weighting will be applied across all 500 names, and transaction costs will be excluded. The test will run from January 3, 2022, to the current date.
