Questions about DEO

What people ask.

Why is DEO on Broken Stocks?

DEO qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -27.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $116.41, set on 2025-08-22 — 279d ago.

Is DEO a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. DEO is down -27.3% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.

Is DEO 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 DEO trading inside its 52-week range?

At $84.59, DEO sits 25.4% of the way from its 52-week low ($73.64) to its 52-week high ($116.69). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has DEO been declining?

The current 27.3% decline accrued over 279d, which annualizes to roughly -35.7% 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 DEO compare to its sector?

There are 54 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 33 Red, 13 Amber, 8 Watch, with 29 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.7% — DEO's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does DEO'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 (2026-02-25) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
