Questions about CARG

What people ask.

Why is CARG on Broken Stocks?

CARG qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -23.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $39.42, set on 2026-01-12 — 122d ago.

Is CARG a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. CARG is down -23.8% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.

Is CARG 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 CARG trading inside its 52-week range?

At $30.04, CARG sits 28.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($26.39) to its 52-week high ($39.42). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has CARG been declining?

The current 23.8% decline accrued over 122d, which annualizes to roughly -71.2% 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 CARG compare to its sector?

There are 128 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 60 Red, 42 Amber, 26 Watch, with 19 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.3% — CARG's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does CARG'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 (2026-05-07) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
