May 9, 2018: Here are four stocks trading with heavy volume among 83 equities making new 52-week lows in Wednesday’s session. On the NYSE advancers led decliners by about 1.65 to 1 and on the Nasdaq, advancers led decliners by about 1.58 to 1.

Helios and Matheson Analytics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HMNY) fell by about 43% Wednesday to post a new 52-week low of $0.82 after closing at $1.45 on Tuesday. The 52-week high is $38.86. Volume of about 37 million was more more than five times the daily average of about 6.8 million. The company said in a Monday SEC filing that it needs to raise more cash to prop up its MoviePass business. Shareholders can’t hit the exits fast enough.

Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ: CMCSA) traded down about 0.6% Wednesday and posted a new 52-week low of $30.43 after closing Tuesday at $30.59. The stock’s 52-week high is $44.00. Volume totaled around 18.4 million, about a third less than the daily average of around 28.8 million. The company had no specific news, but the possibility that it could spend north of $70 billion on acquisitions makes some investors queasy.
