Questions about ASTI
What people ask.
Why is ASTI on Broken Stocks?
ASTI qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -49.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $9.87, set on 2026-02-11 — 92d ago.
Is ASTI a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. ASTI is down -49.3% from its 52-week high of $9.87, set 92d ago. That combination of depth (past the 30% Amber threshold) and recency (high set inside the last 120 days) is the textbook falling-knife pattern. Whether to try to catch it is a separate question — historically most attempts to bottom-pick continue lower before reversing. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.
Is ASTI 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 ASTI trading inside its 52-week range?
At $5.00, ASTI sits 44.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($1.10) to its 52-week high ($9.87). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has ASTI been declining?
The current 49.3% decline accrued over 92d, which annualizes to roughly -195.6% 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 ASTI compare to its sector?
There are 172 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 118 Red, 36 Amber, 18 Watch, with 46 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -44.1% — ASTI's decline is deeper than the sector median.
