August 10, 2017: Here are four stocks trading with heavy volume among 250 equities making new 52-week lows in Thursday’s session. On the NYSE, decliners led advancers by more than more than 6 to 1 and on the Nasdaq decliners led advancers by nearly the same margin.

Volume of about 37 million was less than 10% below the daily average of about 35 million. The company had no specific news, but the report on natural gas storage released today was encouraging for prices.
