Questions about EXK
What people ask.
Why is EXK on Broken Stocks?
EXK qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -46.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $15.15, set on 2026-01-26 — 165d ago.
Is EXK a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. EXK is down -46.7% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 165d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. EXK is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is EXK 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 EXK trading inside its 52-week range?
At $8.08, EXK sits 32.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($4.75) to its 52-week high ($15.15). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has EXK been declining?
The current 46.7% decline accrued over 165d, which annualizes to roughly -103.3% 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 EXK compare to its sector?
There are 75 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 44 Red, 19 Amber, 12 Watch, with 14 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -38.1% — EXK's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does EXK'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 (2026-05-06) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
