NYSE Stocks, Including Varian, Making Big Moves on October 26, 2012
This morning has been rocky for the market. The Nasdaq has slipped 0.1%; the S&P 500 is trading down 0.2%; and the Dow is down 0.1%. Today, more than half of all NYSE trades are conducted electronically, although floor traders are still used to set pricing and deal in high volume institutional trading.
The biggest movers traded on the NYSE so far are:

DeVry (NYSE:DV) rose a significant 24.1% to reach $25.83 per share. The company is trading at a volume of four million shares. This is greater than yesterday's volume of 2.6 million shares.
After a big jump of 16.6%, Varian (NYSE:VAR) is trading at $67.73 per share. So far today, the company's volume is 2.9 million shares, 2.9 times the average daily volume.

The Bottom Line The nature of the market is such that stocks will have good days and bad days. Daily stock performance should be weighed against historical performance and put in context of the market overall. Tools like valuation ratios and profit margins, however, are only as useful as the context you put them in; remember to take historical data and competitor performance into account.
