Questions about ACN
What people ask.
Why is ACN on Broken Stocks?
ACN qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -34.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $285.21, set on 2026-01-14 — 275d ago.
Is ACN a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. ACN is down -34.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 275d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. ACN is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is ACN 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 ACN trading inside its 52-week range?
At $229.68, ACN sits 64.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($118.15) to its 52-week high ($291.09). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has ACN been declining?
The current 34.5% decline accrued over 275d, which annualizes to roughly -45.8% 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 ACN compare to its sector?
There are 598 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 407 Red, 128 Amber, 63 Watch, with 236 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -42.1% — ACN's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does ACN's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering uses decline depth and recency, bearish time-frame structure, and decline sigma. The earnings date on file (2026-09-24) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
