Questions about CRI

What people ask.

Why is CRI on Broken Stocks?

CRI qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -31.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $43.94, set on 2026-06-24 — 78d ago.

Is CRI a falling knife?

By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. CRI is down -31.3% from its 52-week high of $43.94, set 78d 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 CRI 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 CRI trading inside its 52-week range?

At $30.19, CRI sits 17.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($27.15) to its 52-week high ($44.44). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has CRI been declining?

The current 31.3% decline accrued over 78d, which annualizes to roughly -146.5% 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 CRI compare to its sector?

There are 272 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 155 Red, 73 Amber, 44 Watch, with 16 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -33.2% — CRI's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does CRI'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 (2026-07-31) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
