The structural read
What price action says about FMC.
FMC qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -72.4% from its rolling 252-day high. Past the 40% threshold, the deepest tier in the taxonomy.
Alongside that decline, our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames — moderate or strong time-frame-continuity (TFC) alignment — so the ticker also carries a Recovering badge. The two readings coexist: the tier tells you how deep the damage is, the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. Recovering is not a buy signal; it's a structural read.
Broken Stocks stops here — it flags the structure, it doesn't build the upside case. Working out whether FMC's turn is investable is what our sister tool does: ConvictionEdge — triple-engine conviction research on names showing a recovery signal.
Upstream TFC read: strong alignment, current phase weekly. Last bar types — daily 1 (green), weekly 2U (green), monthly 1 (green).

Questions about FMC
What people ask.
Why is FMC on Broken Stocks?
FMC qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -72.4% from its rolling 252-day high of $39.44, set on 2025-08-22 — 363d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for FMC?
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 — FMC is still Red List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is FMC a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. FMC is down -72.4% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 363d 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 $10.88, FMC sits 3.0% 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 72.4% decline accrued over 363d, which annualizes to roughly -72.8% 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 58 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 23 Red, 17 Amber, 18 Watch, with 16 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -33.5% — FMC's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does FMC'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 (2026-07-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
