The 52-week range: where today's close stands
The 52-week range is the lowest and highest price in the last year. Where the close sits between them is a description of the present, and this page shows how it is worked out and read.

How the position is worked out
Position = (close − low) ÷ (high − low), from 0 at the low to 100 at the high. Low and high are the board's own. The window moves every session as old days leave it.
On this board AGL stands at 65,3, IMP at 6,7.
What it cannot tell you
A close near the low is not a bargain and a close near the high is not a warning: the position says where the price stands, nothing about why or what comes next. The widest year here belongs to IMP (high 136 percent above low), the narrowest to AGL (59 percent).

Questions about reading a price
What is the 52-week range?
The lowest and highest price in the last year, as the board reports them.
What does a position of 20 mean?
The close is one fifth of the way from the year's low to its high.
Does a low position mean good value?
No. It describes where the price stands, not what it is worth.
Is the range checked?
Only for consistency; there is one source.
