July 31, 2015: Here are four stocks trading with heavy volume among the 107 equities making new 52-week lows today.

Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) posted a new 52-week low on Friday. Shares dropped about 4.9% to a low of $78.93 from Thursday’s closing price of $83.01. The stock’s 52-week high is $100.43. Volume totaled nearly 20 million shares, about double the daily average of around 11 million. The company’s earnings report was even worse than expected this morning.

Twitter Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) dropped about 2% on Friday to post a new 52-week low of $30.85 after closing at $31.47 on Thursday. The stock’s 52-week high is $55.99. Share volume totaled around 15 million shares, about 30% below the daily average of nearly 22 million. The company continues to stagger following a weak earnings report earlier this week.
