Questions about ABT
What people ask.
Why is ABT on Broken Stocks?
ABT qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -36.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $136.28, set on 2025-06-24 — 338d ago.
Is ABT a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. ABT is down -36.7% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 338d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. ABT is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is ABT 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 ABT trading inside its 52-week range?
At $86.30, ABT sits 0.3% of the way from its 52-week low ($86.15) to its 52-week high ($139.06). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has ABT been declining?
The current 36.7% decline accrued over 338d, which annualizes to roughly -39.6% 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 ABT compare to its sector?
There are 194 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 89 Red, 46 Amber, 59 Watch, with 108 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.8% — ABT's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does ABT'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 (2026-04-16) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
