Questions about BMI

What people ask.

Why is BMI on Broken Stocks?

BMI qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -36.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $202.32, set on 2025-10-21 — 303d ago.

Is BMI a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. BMI is down -36.7% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 303d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. BMI is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is BMI 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 BMI trading inside its 52-week range?

At $128.13, BMI sits 17.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($112.09) to its 52-week high ($204.00). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has BMI been declining?

The current 36.7% decline accrued over 303d, which annualizes to roughly -44.2% 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 BMI compare to its sector?

There are 239 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 148 Red, 49 Amber, 42 Watch, with 65 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.8% — BMI's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does BMI'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 (2026-07-22) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
