WWE Stock Track 2016
Week 32 – Aug. 22-26

WWE had a second consecutive good week, hitting another 52-week high point on Tuesday and then again on Friday.

WWE closed above $21 per share all five trading days this week. The last time that five straight days closed above $21 was mid-August of last year.

Monday, August 22: Closing Price of $21.03 per share, nearly identical to last Monday’s closing price.

Tuesday, August 23: Closing Price of $21.25 per share, up one percent from Monday.

This turned out to be the highest closing price of the week. It was the highest closing price in one year dating back to August 19, 2015.

During the trading day, the stock hit a new 52-week high of $21.40, the highest point since August 20, 2015.

Wednesday, August 24: Closing Price of $21.15, down ten cents from Tuesday.

The stock hovered between $21.08 and $21.28 during a light trading day.

Thursday, August 25: Closing Price of $21.23 per share, slightly up from Wednesday.

It was another light trading day with hardly any movement.

Friday, August 26: Closing Price of $21.04 per share, down one percent from Thursday.

The stock climbed as high as $21.47 per share – a new 52-week. However, the stock fell as low as $20.94 per share.

WWE finished just above $21, topping last Friday’s close of $20.93 per share.

WWE is now valued at $1.61 billion, up from $1.60 billion last week to establish a new 2016 high-point.
