What counts as a falling knife in Consumer Defensive?

On Broken Stocks, a classic falling knife is a stock down 30% or more from a 52-week high that was set inside the last 120 days — i.e. steep and recent. The 15 Consumer Defensive names on this page all clear that bar today. Slow-grinding declines from old peaks aren't included here.

How is this different from the full Consumer Defensive sector page?

The Consumer Defensive sector page lists every Consumer Defensive stock down 20%+ from a 52-week high regardless of when that high was set. This page narrows to the textbook falling-knife pattern: steeper depth (30%+) and a recent rolling 252-day high (within 120 days). The intent is different — broader decline screen vs. classic falling-knife screen.

Is being on this list a sell signal?

No. Broken Stocks is a structural-recognition system, not a trading signal service. Listings reflect price action only — not company quality, management, or fundamentals. Not financial advice.
