what percent have stock crashed in 1932

Stocks had crashed about 89% by July 1932 from the 1929 peak, which is the standard way historians describe the Great Depression market collapse.

Quick Scoop

• The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell from its 1929 high to about 41 in July 1932, an 89% drop.

• Some sources round this to “nearly 90%” or “about a fifth of its former value”.

• If you meant a different stock index or a specific stock in 1932, the percentage would be different.

Context

That decline refers to the broader U.S. stock market crash tied to the Great Depression, not just one day in 1932. The bottom is usually dated to July 8, 1932, when the Dow closed at 41.22.
