Q: Why is BFAM on Broken Stocks?

BFAM qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down 53.5% from its rolling 252-day high of 132.43 set on 2025-05-28, 365 days ago. Tiering is rules-based and reflects price action only — not company quality, management, or fundamentals.

Q: Is BFAM a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. BFAM is down 53.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 365 days ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. BFAM is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing. Tiering is rules-based and reflects price action only — not company quality, management, or fundamentals.
