Questions about BW

What people ask.

Why is BW on Broken Stocks?

BW qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -46.9% from its rolling 252-day high of $22.03, set on 2026-05-15 — 56d ago.

Is BW a falling knife?

By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. BW is down -46.9% from its 52-week high of $22.03, set 56d ago. That combination of depth (past the 30% Amber threshold) and recency (high set inside the last 120 days) is the textbook falling-knife pattern. Whether to try to catch it is a separate question — historically most attempts to bottom-pick continue lower before reversing. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.

Is BW 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 BW trading inside its 52-week range?

At $11.70, BW sits 51.2% of the way from its 52-week low ($0.87) to its 52-week high ($22.03). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has BW been declining?

The current 46.9% decline accrued over 56d, which annualizes to roughly -305.7% 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 BW compare to its sector?

There are 135 other Industrials tickers on Broken Stocks: 51 Red, 24 Amber, 60 Watch, with 32 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -30.0% — BW's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does BW'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 (2026-05-11) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
