Questions about CLF
What people ask.
Why is CLF on Broken Stocks?
CLF qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -35.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $16.70, set on 2025-10-20 — 304d ago.
Is CLF a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. CLF is down -35.7% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 304d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. CLF is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is CLF 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 CLF trading inside its 52-week range?
At $10.74, CLF sits 33.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($7.73) to its 52-week high ($16.70). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has CLF been declining?
The current 35.7% decline accrued over 304d, which annualizes to roughly -42.9% 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 CLF compare to its sector?
There are 58 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 24 Red, 16 Amber, 18 Watch, with 17 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -33.5% — CLF's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does CLF'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 (2026-07-23) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
