Questions about CMG
What people ask.
Why is CMG on Broken Stocks?
CMG is held on the Red List. Held on the Red List: it last met the Red List rules on 2026-10-06. Today it reads Amber List; a tier moves down only after five consecutive scans below its rules.
Is CMG a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. CMG is down -30.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 360d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. CMG is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is CMG 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 CMG trading inside its 52-week range?
At $29.89, CMG sits 11.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($28.04) to its 52-week high ($44.83). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has CMG been declining?
The current 30.1% decline accrued over 360d, which annualizes to roughly -30.5% 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 CMG compare to its sector?
There are 411 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 289 Red, 86 Amber, 36 Watch, with 243 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.6% — CMG's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does CMG's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering uses decline depth and recency, bearish time-frame structure, and decline sigma. The earnings date on file (2026-07-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
