The Russell 1000 has dropped 17% over the same period.\nThree of the five top stocks were oil and gas companies that got a boost from surging energy prices after Russia's February invasion of Ukraine and a production cut by OPEC+ later in the year, although they have more recently fallen once again.\nThe other two are Constellation Energy Corp. (\nCEG\n), a renewable energy company which will likely benefit from federal investment in the industry and Signify Health Inc. (\nSGFY\n), whose shares got a boost from a pending acquisition.\nMany of the worst-performing stocks of 2022 fell amid amid accelerating inflation and cautious consumers. Growth stocks have been affected by rising interest rates, which lower their value relative to other assets, and an economic slowdown that tends to hit yclical stocks such as those in the bottom five.\nTop 5 Stocks of 2022\n1. Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY)\nYear-to-Date Return: 139.9%\nSector: Energy\nMarket Cap: $62.8B\nOccidental Petroleum is an oil and gas\nexploration and production (E&P)\ncompany as well as a manufacturer of petrochemicals. It also has some\nmidstream\nenergy interests.\nOccidental reported profit of $2.5 billion on\nnet sales\nof $9.4 billion for the third quarter of 2022. Net income increased by 305% and net sales by 38% year-over-year.\n2. Constellation Energy Corp. (CEG)\nYear-to-Date Return: 126.9%\nSector: Utilities\nMarket Cap: $30.9B\nConstellation Energy is an electricity supplier that mostly uses emissions-free sources such as solar, wind, and nuclear power. It also produces electricity through natural gas. It supplies energy to homes, businesses, governments, and wholesale customers across the U.S. and produces almost 10% carbon-free energy nationwide.\nConstellation posted a net loss of $193 million for the third quarter, compared with net income of $633 million in the prior-year quarter. Revenue rose 37% to $6.1 billion.\nAs one of the largest clean energy companies in the U.S., Constellation Energy is positioned to benefit from President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law on Aug. 16. Constellation and other green energy firms could get billions of dollars of in tax incentives, infrastructure support, and other perks.\n3. Antero Resources Corp. (AR)\nYear-to-Date Return: 111.0%\nSector: Energy\nMarket Cap: $11.1B\nAntero Resources is primarily an E&P firm with properties primarily in Ohio and West Virginia. It also maintains a significant ownership stake in Antero Midstream, a midstream energy company.\nAntero reported $560 million in net income for the most recent quarter and losses of $550 million in the prior-year quarter. Net revenue was $2.1 billion, almost four times that of Q3 2021.\n4. Texas Pacific Land Corp. (TPL)\nYear-to-Date Return: 104.1%\nSector: Energy\nMarket Cap: $19.3B\nTexas Pacific Land generates revenue from land sales, oil and gas royalties, grazing leases, and other ventures. It owns about 880,000 acres of land in Texas as well as various royalty interests for oil and gas development.\nTexas Pacific reported net income of $130 million and revenues of $191 million in the last quarter, each up 55% on the year.\nOil output in the Permian Basin, where Texas Pacific does business, has reached record levels this year.\n5. Signify Health Inc. (SGFY)\nYear-to-Date Return: 101.3%\nSector: Healthcare\nMarket Cap: $6.8B\nSignify Health offers healthcare payment programs to governments, employers, health systems, health plans, and physicians to millions of people. Its major customers include the U.S. government's Medicare program. The company announced in September that it would be acquired by CVS Health for about $8 billion, with the transaction expected to close early in 2023.\nFor Q3, Signify had a net loss of $225 million and a 30% decline in revenue to about $140 million.\nThe shares of a target company in an acquisition often\nrise substantially\n, at least in the short term, as the acquiring firm pays a premium on the pre-acquisition share price to persuade shareholders to approve the deal.\nBottom 5 Stocks of 2022\n1. Affirm Holdings Inc. (AFRM)\nYear-to-Date Return: -87.3%\nSector: Technology\nMarket Cap: $3.7B\nAffirm Holdings is a\nfintech\nfirm offering payment services to both consumers and merchants. The company's core products are loans provided to customers making ecommerce transactions.\nAffirm's financial results for the most recent quarter, Q1 FY 2023, include net losses of $251 million, an improvement of $55 million from the same period a year earlier. Revenue climbed 34% to $362 million.\nPersistent inflation, interest rate hikes, and concern about a recession have weakened demand for discretionary purchases throughout the year. For instance, Peloton Interactive Inc. (\nPTON\n), a major partner of Affirm, has posted several consecutive quarters of losses as the surge in demand for its products during quarantine ebbed.\n2. AppLovin Corp. (APP)\nYear-to-Date Return: -85.7%\nSector: Technology\nMarket Cap: $5.0B\nMobile technology company AppLovin offers software and platforms to assist app developers with marketing and monetizing their products. Its offerings include a machine-learning recommendation engine, cloud infrastructure, and data analytics services.\nAppLovin reported net income of $24 million for the most recent quarter, up from $100,000 a year earlier. Revenue fell 2% to $713 million.\nTech stocks slumped in 2022 as rising rates curbed the performance of growth stocks.\nFor AppLovin, the broader tech trend was exacerbated by disappointing outlook and earnings results throughout the year.\n3. Wayfair Inc. (W)\nYear-to-Date Return: -83.3%\nSector: Consumer Cyclical\nMarket Cap: $3.4B\nWayfair operates an ecommerce platform selling more than 33 million home products, including furniture, decor, housewares, and home improvement items.\nThe company's net losses widened by $205 million to $283 million for the most recent quarter, while revenue fell by 9%.\nAs consumers stayed home and shopped online early in the pandemic, profit and share prices rose at ecommerce companies like Wayfairr. Now, many of their shares are falling thanks to easing lockdown restrictions, supply chain concerns, and rising prices. Wayfair's stock price plunged in August when it said it would cut hundreds of jobs to reduce costs.\n4. Coinbase Global Inc. (COIN)\nYear-to-Date Return: -82.9%\nSector: Technology\nMarket Cap: $9.7B\nCoinbase, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges,\noffers a platform to buy and sell cryptocurrencies and\ndecentralized applications\n. It serves retail users, institutions, developers, merchants, and other participants in the crypto market.\n.\nThe company posted three consecutive quarters of losses in 2022 as revenue fell 53% to $576 million in the third quarter.\nPrices of cryptocurrencies and related assets such as\nnon-fungible tokens (NFTs)\nplunged in 2022, eroding transaction revenues for exchanges such as Coinbase.\nSupply chain issues which have made crypto mining equipment expensive and difficult to come by, further depressing transactions. Most recently, the\ncollapse of the exchange FTX\nhas eroded trust in even the most established cryptocurrency exchanges.\n5. Twilio Inc. (TWLO)\nYear-to-Date Return: -82.6%\nSector: Communication Services\nMarket Cap: $8.4B\nCloud communications company Twilio provides a platform allowing developers to build and manage applications. It gives infrastructure for developers to operate customer engagement and to embed voice, messaging, email, and video capabilities into apps.\nTwilio's losses widened by $225 million to $457 million in the third quarter while revenue climbed by 33% to $983 million.\nTwilio's stock has fallen in 2022 while it has struggled to achieve profit.\nAlthough it has achieved 43% revenue growth in the past 12 months, Twilio's losses are significant and potentially outweigh its rapid sales gains.\nThe Bottom Line\nHigh oil and gas prices caused by a confluence of geopolitical factors are why most of the top five were from the energy industry. While on the bottom five were more diverse, all were growth stocks susceptible to the economic slowdown and the accompanying\nflight to quality\n.","attrs_markdown":"\n\n[Skip to content](https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/top-bottom-stocks-2022-6834734#main)\n\n[Investopedia](https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/)\n\n[Live](https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/stock-market-today-dow-jones-s-and-p-500-04142026-11949242)\n\n- Please fill out this field.\n- [Newsletters](https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/top-bottom-stocks-2022-6834734)\n\nPlease fill out this field.\n\n- [News](https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/news-4427706)\n  News\n  \n  -

The other two are Constellation Energy Corp. ([CEG](https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/markets\/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=CEG)), a renewable energy company which will likely benefit from federal investment in the industry and Signify Health Inc.

Supply chain issues which have made crypto mining equipment expensive and difficult to come by, further depressing transactions. Most recently, the [collapse of the exchange FTX](https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/what-went-wrong-with-ftx-6828447) has eroded trust in even the most established cryptocurrency exchanges.\n\n### [5\\. Twilio Inc. (TWLO)](https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/markets\/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=TWLO)\n- Year-to-Date Return: -82.6%\n- Sector: Communication Services\n- Market Cap: \\$8.4B\n\nCloud communications company Twilio provides a platform allowing developers to build and manage applications.

While on the bottom five were more diverse, all were growth stocks susceptible to the economic slowdown and the accompanying [flight to quality](https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/f\/flighttoquality.asp).","meta_canonical":null}

We tracked the top and bottom five stocks in the Russell 1000 Index by using the highest and lowest year-to-date ( YTD ) total return through the close of the market on Nov. 29, 2022. The Russell 1000 has dropped 17% over the same period. Three of the five top stocks were oil and gas companies that got a boost from surging energy prices after Russia's February invasion of Ukraine and a production cut by OPEC+ later in the year, although they have more recently fallen once again. The other two are Constellation Energy Corp. ( CEG ), a renewable energy company which will likely benefit from federal investment in the industry and Signify Health Inc. ( SGFY ), whose shares got a boost from a pending acquisition. Many of the worst-performing stocks of 2022 fell amid amid accelerating inflation and cautious consumers. Growth stocks have been affected by rising interest rates, which lower their value relative to other assets, and an economic slowdown that tends to hit yclical stocks such as those in the bottom five. Top 5 Stocks of 2022 1. Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) Year-to-Date Return: 139.9% Sector: Energy Market Cap: $62.8B Occidental Petroleum is an oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) company as well as a manufacturer of petrochemicals. It also has some midstream energy interests. Occidental reported profit of $2.5 billion on net sales of $9.4 billion for the third quarter of 2022. Net income increased by 305% and net sales by 38% year-over-year. 2. Constellation Energy Corp. (CEG) Year-to-Date Return: 126.9% Sector: Utilities Market Cap: $30.9B Constellation Energy is an electricity supplier that mostly uses emissions-free sources such as solar, wind, and nuclear power. It also produces electricity through natural gas. It supplies energy to homes, businesses, governments, and wholesale customers across the U.S. and produces almost 10% carbon-free energy nationwide. Constellation posted a net loss of $193 million for the third quarter, compared with net income of $633 million in the prior-year quarter. Revenue rose 37% to $6.1 billion. As one of the largest clean energy companies in the U.S., Constellation Energy is positioned to benefit from President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law on Aug. 16. Constellation and other green energy firms could get billions of dollars of in tax incentives, infrastructure support, and other perks. 3. Antero Resources Corp. (AR) Year-to-Date Return: 111.0% Sector: Energy Market Cap: $11.1B Antero Resources is primarily an E&P firm with properties primarily in Ohio and West Virginia. It also maintains a significant ownership stake in Antero Midstream, a midstream energy company. Antero reported $560 million in net income for the most recent quarter and losses of $550 million in the prior-year quarter. Net revenue was $2.1 billion, almost four times that of Q3 2021. 4. Texas Pacific Land Corp. (TPL) Year-to-Date Return: 104.1% Sector: Energy Market Cap: $19.3B Texas Pacific Land generates revenue from land sales, oil and gas royalties, grazing leases, and other ventures. It owns about 880,000 acres of land in Texas as well as various royalty interests for oil and gas development. Texas Pacific reported net income of $130 million and revenues of $191 million in the last quarter, each up 55% on the year. Oil output in the Permian Basin, where Texas Pacific does business, has reached record levels this year. 5. Signify Health Inc. (SGFY) Year-to-Date Return: 101.3% Sector: Healthcare Market Cap: $6.8B Signify Health offers healthcare payment programs to governments, employers, health systems, health plans, and physicians to millions of people. Its major customers include the U.S. government's Medicare program. The company announced in September that it would be acquired by CVS Health for about $8 billion, with the transaction expected to close early in 2023. For Q3, Signify had a net loss of $225 million and a 30% decline in revenue to about $140 million. The shares of a target company in an acquisition often rise substantially , at least in the short term, as the acquiring firm pays a premium on the pre-acquisition share price to persuade shareholders to approve the deal. Bottom 5 Stocks of 2022 1. Affirm Holdings Inc. (AFRM) Year-to-Date Return: -87.3% Sector: Technology Market Cap: $3.7B Affirm Holdings is a fintech firm offering payment services to both consumers and merchants. The company's core products are loans provided to customers making ecommerce transactions. Affirm's financial results for the most recent quarter, Q1 FY 2023, include net losses of $251 million, an improvement of $55 million from the same period a year earlier. Revenue climbed 34% to $362 million. Persistent inflation, interest rate hikes, and concern about a recession have weakened demand for discretionary purchases throughout the year. For instance, Peloton Interactive Inc. ( PTON ), a major partner of Affirm, has posted several consecutive quarters of losses as the surge in demand for its products during quarantine ebbed. 2. AppLovin Corp. (APP) Year-to-Date Return: -85.7% Sector: Technology Market Cap: $5.0B Mobile technology company AppLovin offers software and platforms to assist app developers with marketing and monetizing their products. Its offerings include a machine-learning recommendation engine, cloud infrastructure, and data analytics services. AppLovin reported net income of $24 million for the most recent quarter, up from $100,000 a year earlier. Revenue fell 2% to $713 million. Tech stocks slumped in 2022 as rising rates curbed the performance of growth stocks. For AppLovin, the broader tech trend was exacerbated by disappointing outlook and earnings results throughout the year. 3. Wayfair Inc. (W) Year-to-Date Return: -83.3% Sector: Consumer Cyclical Market Cap: $3.4B Wayfair operates an ecommerce platform selling more than 33 million home products, including furniture, decor, housewares, and home improvement items. The company's net losses widened by $205 million to $283 million for the most recent quarter, while revenue fell by 9%. As consumers stayed home and shopped online early in the pandemic, profit and share prices rose at ecommerce companies like Wayfairr. Now, many of their shares are falling thanks to easing lockdown restrictions, supply chain concerns, and rising prices. Wayfair's stock price plunged in August when it said it would cut hundreds of jobs to reduce costs. 4. Coinbase Global Inc. (COIN) Year-to-Date Return: -82.9% Sector: Technology Market Cap: $9.7B Coinbase, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, offers a platform to buy and sell cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications . It serves retail users, institutions, developers, merchants, and other participants in the crypto market. . The company posted three consecutive quarters of losses in 2022 as revenue fell 53% to $576 million in the third quarter. Prices of cryptocurrencies and related assets such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) plunged in 2022, eroding transaction revenues for exchanges such as Coinbase. Supply chain issues which have made crypto mining equipment expensive and difficult to come by, further depressing transactions. Most recently, the collapse of the exchange FTX has eroded trust in even the most established cryptocurrency exchanges. 5. Twilio Inc. (TWLO) Year-to-Date Return: -82.6% Sector: Communication Services Market Cap: $8.4B Cloud communications company Twilio provides a platform allowing developers to build and manage applications. It gives infrastructure for developers to operate customer engagement and to embed voice, messaging, email, and video capabilities into apps. Twilio's losses widened by $225 million to $457 million in the third quarter while revenue climbed by 33% to $983 million. Twilio's stock has fallen in 2022 while it has struggled to achieve profit. Although it has achieved 43% revenue growth in the past 12 months, Twilio's losses are significant and potentially outweigh its rapid sales gains. The Bottom Line High oil and gas prices caused by a confluence of geopolitical factors are why most of the top five were from the energy industry. While on the bottom five were more diverse, all were growth stocks susceptible to the economic slowdown and the accompanying flight to quality .
