Questions about DG
What people ask.
Why is DG on Broken Stocks?
DG qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -23.0% from its rolling 252-day high of $156.68, set on 2026-02-26 — 175d ago.
Is DG a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. DG is down -23.0% 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 DG 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 DG trading inside its 52-week range?
At $120.58, DG sits 40.4% of the way from its 52-week low ($95.11) to its 52-week high ($158.23). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has DG been declining?
The current 23.0% decline accrued over 175d, which annualizes to roughly -48.0% 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 DG compare to its sector?
There are 44 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 21 Red, 15 Amber, 8 Watch, with 16 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -33.6% — DG's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does DG'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 (2026-08-27) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
