The structural read
What price action says about CRTO.
CRTO qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -39.3% from its rolling 252-day high. Past 30% with the high set inside the last four months — the recency clause in the classification rules. Depth plus recency: this is the pattern many investors call a falling knife.
Cross-confirmation: also showing 4/5 bearish time frames.
Cross-confirmation: decline sigma also reads 4.3σ over 20 bars.
A confirmed bullish signal on one or more time frames earned the Recovering badge. The tier reflects the most severe price-structure rule; Recovering identifies a separate bullish signal. Not a buy signal.
Whether CRTO's turn is investable is ConvictionEdge's question, not ours.
Upstream TFC read: weak alignment, current phase daily. Last bar types — daily 2U (red), weekly 1 (red), monthly 2D (green).

Questions about CRTO
What people ask.
Why is CRTO on Broken Stocks?
CRTO qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -39.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $25.29, set on 2026-07-06 — 102d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for CRTO?
Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — CRTO is still Red List because a price-structure rule still triggers, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier reflects the most severe triggered rule; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is CRTO a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. CRTO is down -39.3% from its 52-week high of $25.29, set 102d 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 — the classification does not predict subsequent returns. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.
Is CRTO 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 CRTO trading inside its 52-week range?
At $15.34, CRTO sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($15.57) to its 52-week high ($25.29). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has CRTO been declining?
The current 39.3% decline accrued over 102d, which annualizes to roughly -140.6% 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 CRTO compare to its sector?
There are 132 other Communication Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 98 Red, 24 Amber, 10 Watch, with 58 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.6% — CRTO's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does CRTO'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 (2026-08-05) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
