Wix Gains 2.2% as Trading Volume Slumps 48% to 489th Rank

On September 26, 2025, Wix (WIX) closed 2.20% higher, with a trading volume of $0.21 billion, marking a 47.77% decline from the previous day’s volume. The stock ranked 489th in trading activity among listed equities, indicating mixed investor engagement amid broader market dynamics.

Recent developments highlighted Wix’s strategic focus on expanding its e-commerce platform capabilities, including updates to its app marketplace and integration tools for small businesses. Analysts noted that these initiatives align with growing demand for scalable digital solutions, though market participants remain cautious about near-term execution risks.

Internal operational updates suggested Wix is prioritizing cost optimization in its customer support infrastructure, a move expected to improve gross margins over the next fiscal quarter. However, the lack of concrete guidance on user growth metrics has left some investors seeking clearer signals on long-term monetization potential.

To run this back-test accurately I’ll need a few extra details: 1. Universe – which market should the “top-500‐by‐volume” list be drawn from? • All U.S.-listed stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ) • A specific index constituent list (e.g., S&P 500) • Another universe? 2. Trade mechanics – when is the position opened and closed? • Buy at today’s close, sell at tomorrow’s close (Close→Close) • Buy at tomorrow’s open, sell at tomorrow’s close (Open→Close) • Another convention? 3. Weighting – equal-weight each of the 500 names, or volume-weighted / market-cap-weighted? 4. Transaction costs – should we include an estimate for commissions/slippage? (Yes/No; if yes please specify.) Let me know your preferences and I’ll set up the back-test accordingly.
