What is the anchored VWAP (volume-weighted average price)?
An ordinary average price treats every day the same. A volume-weighted average does not: it weights each day’s price by how much stock actually changed hands that day, so a session in which fifty million shares traded counts fifty times as heavily as one in which a million did. The result answers a more useful question than "what has the price been" — it answers "what did the average share bought over this stretch actually cost". "Anchored" simply means the averaging starts on a chosen date rather than rolling over a fixed number of days, and the date this screen starts from is the first session of the current year. One qualification matters and is stated on every page that shows this number: a true VWAP is worked out from every individual trade at the price it happened, and stocks-llm holds one closing price and one volume figure per day, so what is shown here is the volume-weighted average of daily closes. It follows the real thing closely over a stretch of weeks and it is not the same number.
How do I read the Trading at this year’s average price paid (anchored VWAP) (UK) screen?
This screen lists companies whose latest close sits within 1.6% of that year-to-date average, nearest first, with the average price itself on every row. That band is not an arbitrary tolerance: it is one typical trading session's move, measured across the whole catalog from the same closing prices the average is built from, so a company in this list is one that could cross its average in an ordinary day. Approaching from above and from below are both included, because what makes the level worth knowing about is the proximity rather than the side. Three honest limits. The band is the same for every company, so a placid utility qualifies on a smaller relative move than a volatile small-cap does. A price arriving at a widely-watched level is a description of where it is, not a forecast that it will stop there. And the average is silent about cause — a company back at its average because the story changed sits in the same list as one that simply drifted. Nothing here is advice.

Data: daily-close price history, recomputed nightly. Every figure is shown with its as-of date on the company page; a company without enough price history for this indicator is excluded, never estimated.
2 covered companies were not evaluated for this screen because their price series end on or before an earlier session (AEP.L, MEGP.L), at least 0 trading sessions behind the null session the rest of the catalog carries. A technical signal is a claim about the present, so it is not asserted from a series that stops before it. Those companies keep the readings they have on their own page, with the as-of date they were computed from.
Last updated 2026-08-05 — this screen recomputes nightly from daily-close prices, so its members change over time.
