Questions about AU
What people ask.
Why is AU on Broken Stocks?
AU qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -27.4% from its rolling 252-day high of $127.01, set on 2026-03-02 — 75d ago.
Is AU a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. AU is down -27.4% 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 AU 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 AU trading inside its 52-week range?
At $92.24, AU sits 58.8% of the way from its 52-week low ($39.51) to its 52-week high ($129.14). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has AU been declining?
The current 27.4% decline accrued over 75d, which annualizes to roughly -133.3% 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 AU compare to its sector?
There are 65 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 31 Red, 11 Amber, 23 Watch, with 2 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -28.7% — AU's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does AU'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 (2026-07-31) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
