Questions about GAP

What people ask.

Why is GAP on Broken Stocks?

GAP qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -32.0% from its rolling 252-day high of $28.88, set on 2026-02-20 — 181d ago.

Is GAP a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. GAP is down -32.0% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 181d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. GAP is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is GAP 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 GAP trading inside its 52-week range?

At $19.65, GAP sits 13.7% of the way from its 52-week low ($18.11) to its 52-week high ($29.36). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has GAP been declining?

The current 32.0% decline accrued over 181d, which annualizes to roughly -64.5% 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 GAP compare to its sector?

There are 130 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 54 Red, 49 Amber, 27 Watch, with 35 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -34.2% — GAP's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does GAP'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 (2026-05-28) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
