Questions about ACIW

What people ask.

Why is ACIW on Broken Stocks?

ACIW qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -24.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $54.28, set on 2025-10-03 — 223d ago.

Is ACIW a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. ACIW is down -24.7% 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 ACIW 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 ACIW trading inside its 52-week range?

At $40.87, ACIW sits 16.2% of the way from its 52-week low ($38.05) to its 52-week high ($55.45). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has ACIW been declining?

The current 24.7% decline accrued over 223d, which annualizes to roughly -40.4% 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 ACIW compare to its sector?

There are 172 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 119 Red, 36 Amber, 17 Watch, with 46 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -44.4% — ACIW's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does ACIW'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 (2026-05-07) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
