Questions about FMC
What people ask.
Why is FMC on Broken Stocks?
FMC qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -72.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $30.49, set on 2025-10-15 — 362d ago.
Is FMC a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. FMC is down -72.7% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 362d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. FMC is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is FMC 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 FMC trading inside its 52-week range?
At $8.32, FMC sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($9.95) to its 52-week high ($40.84). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has FMC been declining?
The current 72.7% decline accrued over 362d, which annualizes to roughly -73.3% 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 FMC compare to its sector?
There are 320 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 213 Red, 77 Amber, 30 Watch, with 134 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -38.0% — FMC's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does FMC'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 (2026-07-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
