Questions about BAX

What people ask.

Why is BAX on Broken Stocks?

BAX qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -44.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $31.78, set on 2025-06-11 — 337d ago.

Is BAX a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. BAX is down -44.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 337d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. BAX is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is BAX 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 BAX trading inside its 52-week range?

At $17.78, BAX sits 11.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($15.73) to its 52-week high ($34.29). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has BAX been declining?

The current 44.1% decline accrued over 337d, which annualizes to roughly -47.8% 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 BAX compare to its sector?

There are 182 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 92 Red, 43 Amber, 47 Watch, with 55 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.8% — BAX's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does BAX'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 (2026-02-12) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
