Questions about ACI

What people ask.

Why is ACI on Broken Stocks?

ACI qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -37.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $19.18, set on 2025-10-20 — 304d ago.

Is ACI a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. ACI is down -37.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 304d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. ACI is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

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 $11.98, ACI sits 12.2% of the way from its 52-week low ($10.86) to its 52-week high ($20.02). 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 37.5% decline accrued over 304d, which annualizes to roughly -45.0% 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 44 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 21 Red, 14 Amber, 9 Watch, with 16 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -31.8% — ACI's decline is deeper 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 (2026-07-23) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
