5 Big NYSE Stock Gainers Over Past 52 Weeks

Despite an economy that’s trending downward, there are plenty of good stocks to invest or trade in on the NYSE Stock Market. For this article, I decided to look for big gainers that have increased by at least 50% over the past year.

Here are 5 NYSE stocks with huge momentum over the past 52 weeks:

1. Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (KRO) – Kronos is up 150% over the past 52 weeks. It’s trading just under $16 and has a market cap of $782 million.
2. Pennsylvania REIT (PEI) – Another NYSE gainer that’s up almost 150%. PEI closed at just over $15 per share.
3. Oil States International, Inc. (OIS) Oil States is on the rise. It’s market cap is $2.2 billion. It’s been inching higher each month.
4. Jo-Ann Stores, Inc. (JAS) It’s come down off it’s high of $48.24 and last traded at $42.07. 1st quarter sales results didn’t meet expectations evidently, because this one is down about 5.21% today. Could it bounce back?
5. CBS Corporation (CBS) With over $10 billion in market cap, CBS, has boomed over the past 52 weeks. Over the past few days it’s pulled back slightly (a few percent) off its 52-week high of $15.50 to trade at $14.96.
