Why Most Active Equities Matter

The Most Active Equities list shows which stocks are seeing the highest trading volumes during the session. A high volume generally indicates that a stock is attracting considerable participation from buyers and sellers.

However, trading volume alone does not indicate whether a stock is likely to move higher or lower. Looking at volume alongside the price change can provide a clearer picture of the day’s market activity.
