Three S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) stocks are bucking the broader market sell-off today.

In afternoon trade on Wednesday, the All Ordinaries Index is down a sharp 1.4%.

Stocks are widely under pressure following a steep day of losses overnight in US and European markets and as the crisis enveloping China's struggling property markets only looks to be getting worse.

But none of that is holding back these three ASX All Ords stocks today, as they each notch new 52-week highs.

These ASX All Ords stocks are offering a silver lining today

The first company shaking off the market malaise today is property listings company REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA).

The ASX All Ords stock was up 2% in morning trade, at $162 a share. At the time of writing, shares are swapping hands for $158.96, up a slender 0.1%. Though this still marks a new 52-week high, with shares up 20% since this time last year.

Investors look to be bidding up the REA share price on the back of some positive broker coverage.

REA reported its FY 2023 results on 11 August. While net profits declined 9% year on year to $372 million, this exceeded consensus expectations.

Following on those results, Macquarie analysts lifted their rating on the ASX All Ords share to neutral. The broker has a 12-month share price target of $178 per share. That's some 12% above the current REA share price.

Goldman Sachs also sees potential share price growth ahead, with a buy rating on REA and a 12-month price target of $175 per share.

Which brings us to SG Fleet Group Ltd (ASX: SGF).

Shares in the fleet management company are up 1.1% in afternoon trade, to $2.72.

The ASX All Ords share earlier posted gains of more than 2%, with shares trading at 52-week highs of $2.75 apiece.

The last price-sensitive news out from SG Fleet was way back on 14 February, when the company reported half-year results. Those included a 41% year on year increase in half-year profits, which came in at $42 million.

Investor interest may be piqued today after the company announced it will webcast its full-year FY 2023 results next Wednesday, 23 August.

Also setting new 52-week highs

Rounding off the list of ASX All Ords share notching new 52-week highs today despite the sliding market is Regis Healthcare Ltd (ASX: REG).

Shares in the elderly care provider were up 2% at $2.47 apiece in earlier trade. The share price has retreated since then, with the stock currently trading flat at $2.42 a share.

There's no fresh news out from Regis to support its outperformance today.

Though healthcare stocks are performing marginally better than the wider market. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) is down 1% at the time of writing, compared to a 1.4% loss posted by the All Ords.
