The 52-Week Low Club for Tuesday

March 15, 2016: Here are four stocks trading with heavy volume among 33 equities making new 52-week lows in Tuesday’s session.

Share volume of about 125 million was nearly 14 times the daily average of around 9.5 million shares traded. The drug company could default on its debt, cut its guidance, and reported weak earnings. This was a very bad day for Valeant.
