Questions about AZO
What people ask.
Why is AZO on Broken Stocks?
AZO qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -32.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $4,388.11, set on 2025-09-11 — 343d ago.
Is AZO a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. AZO is down -32.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 343d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. AZO is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is AZO 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 AZO trading inside its 52-week range?
At $2,961.99, AZO sits 4.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($2,902.20) to its 52-week high ($4,388.11). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has AZO been declining?
The current 32.5% decline accrued over 343d, which annualizes to roughly -34.6% 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 AZO compare to its sector?
There are 130 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 54 Red, 49 Amber, 27 Watch, with 35 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -34.2% — AZO's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does AZO'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 (2026-05-26) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
