Specifically, TMO, CRWD, NTAP, WST, and WAT are at their YTD highs, while HD, LOW, CMCSA, O, and LHX are at their YTD lows. This indicates that these stocks have either reached new highs or lows since the beginning of 2026 and are currently trading at or very near those levels.

The stocks near their 2026 highs are primarily from the healthcare and technology sectors, suggesting strong performance in these areas. Conversely, the stocks near their 2026 lows are from the consumer discretionary, real estate, and industrials sectors, indicating potential challenges or weaker demand in these sectors.
