The structural read
What price action says about BBSI.
BBSI qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth — down -34.8% from its rolling 252-day high.
Alongside that decline, our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames — moderate or strong time-frame-continuity (TFC) alignment — so the ticker also carries a Recovering badge. The two readings coexist: the tier tells you how deep the damage is, the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. Recovering is not a buy signal; it's a structural read.
Broken Stocks stops here — it flags the structure, it doesn't build the upside case. Working out whether BBSI's turn is investable is what our sister tool does: ConvictionEdge — triple-engine conviction research on names showing a recovery signal.
Upstream TFC read: strong alignment, current phase monthly. Last bar types — daily 2U (green), weekly 2U (green), monthly 2U (green).
Earnings on file: 2026-02-25. Tiering is unaffected by earnings dates — listings reflect price structure only.

Questions about BBSI
What people ask.
Why is BBSI on Broken Stocks?
BBSI qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -34.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $49.26, set on 2025-09-05 — 265d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for BBSI?
Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — BBSI is still Amber List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is BBSI a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. BBSI is down -34.8% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 265d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. BBSI is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is BBSI 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 BBSI trading inside its 52-week range?
At $32.12, BBSI sits 27.9% of the way from its 52-week low ($25.33) to its 52-week high ($49.65). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has BBSI been declining?
The current 34.8% decline accrued over 265d, which annualizes to roughly -47.9% 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 BBSI compare to its sector?
There are 137 other Industrials tickers on Broken Stocks: 57 Red, 33 Amber, 47 Watch, with 82 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -30.7% — BBSI's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does BBSI'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 (2026-02-25) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
