Questions about AAP
What people ask.
Why is AAP on Broken Stocks?
AAP qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -32.9% from its rolling 252-day high of $64.62, set on 2026-02-13 — 208d ago.
Is AAP a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. AAP is down -32.9% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 208d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. AAP is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is AAP a buy?
Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.
Where is AAP trading inside its 52-week range?
At $43.38, AAP sits 20.1% of the way from its 52-week low ($37.89) to its 52-week high ($65.21). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has AAP been declining?
The current 32.9% decline accrued over 208d, which annualizes to roughly -57.7% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
How does AAP compare to its sector?
There are 276 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 148 Red, 68 Amber, 60 Watch, with 13 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -32.9% — AAP's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does AAP's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-08-20) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
