Here is what actually moved Unit Corporation (UNTC): the 6 sessions in the last month that broke out of its normal range, each measured against the stock's own 60-day volatility rather than a fixed percentage.

2026-10-01 — $30.8000 (+0.33%)
Unit rose 0.33% to $30.80. Shares opened with a 0.98% gap up. The move left the stock 8.6% below its 52-week high.

2026-09-17 — $32.1000 (+2.39%)
Unit rose 2.39% to $32.10, though on light volume (0.3x the 20-day average). The move was broadly in line with the wider market — the S&P 500 gained 1.39% while Energy peers (XLE) rose 0.70% the same session — so little of it was company-specific. Shares closed near the session high (85% of the day's range) and reclaimed their 20-day moving average.

2026-09-14 — $32.0500 (-4.87%)
Unit fell 4.87% to $32.05, its biggest one-day drop in 1.2 years and a 3.2sigma move against its 60-day volatility, on 3.4x average volume. This was largely stock-specific: the S&P 500 fell 0.45% while Energy peers (XLE) fell 0.94% that session, leaving about 3.9 points of the move unexplained by its sector. Shares opened with a 1.44% gap down and closed near the session low (3% of the day's range).

2026-09-11 — $33.6900 (+4.17%)
Unit rose 4.17% to $33.69, its biggest one-day gain in 4 months and a 2.9sigma move against its 60-day volatility, on 2.1x average volume. This was largely stock-specific: the S&P 500 gained 0.85% while Energy peers (XLE) rose 0.32% that session, leaving about 3.3 points of the move unexplained by the market. Shares opened with a 1.08% gap up, closed near the session high (100% of the day's range) and set a 52-week closing high. Historically, after 2.5sigma-or-larger up days, Unit returned +1.05% on average over the following 5 sessions (73% positive, n=11).

2026-09-03 — $32.3600 (+2.50%)
Unit rose 2.50% to $32.36, its biggest one-day gain in 3 weeks and a 1.8sigma move against its 60-day volatility, on 4.7x average volume. Roughly 1.5 points were stock-specific — the S&P 500 gained 1.05% while Energy peers (XLE) fell 0.74% alongside it. Shares opened with a 1.06% gap down and reversed through the session.

2026-09-02 — $31.5700 (+2.50%)
Unit rose 2.50% to $31.57, its biggest one-day gain in 2 weeks and a 1.8sigma move against its 60-day volatility. This was largely stock-specific: the S&P 500 gained 0.44% while Energy peers (XLE) rose 0.51% that session, leaving about 2.0 points of the move unexplained by its sector. Shares opened with a 3.09% gap down and reversed through the session, closed near the session high (100% of the day's range) and reclaimed their 20-day moving average.

The bigger picture: a move only means something against the stock's own normal range — which is why each session here is scored in standard deviations rather than percent.

History rhymes more often than it repeats; read the above as context rather than prediction.
