Questions about ACI

What people ask.

Why is ACI on Broken Stocks?

ACI qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -27.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $22.02, set on 2025-07-08 — 324d ago.

Is ACI a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. ACI is down -27.7% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.

Is ACI 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 ACI trading inside its 52-week range?

At $15.92, ACI sits 5.2% of the way from its 52-week low ($15.54) to its 52-week high ($22.78). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has ACI been declining?

The current 27.7% decline accrued over 324d, which annualizes to roughly -31.2% 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 ACI compare to its sector?

There are 54 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 34 Red, 12 Amber, 8 Watch, with 29 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.7% — ACI's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does ACI'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 (2026-04-14) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
