Questions about CMG

What people ask.

Why is CMG on Broken Stocks?

CMG qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -44.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $58.42, set on 2025-07-02 — 330d ago.

Is CMG a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. CMG is down -44.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 330d 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 $32.42, CMG sits 9.3% of the way from its 52-week low ($29.75) to its 52-week high ($58.42). 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 44.5% decline accrued over 330d, which annualizes to roughly -49.2% 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 CMG compare to its sector?

There are 132 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 49 Red, 41 Amber, 42 Watch, with 84 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -33.8% — CMG's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does CMG'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 (2026-04-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
