Questions about HD
What people ask.
Why is HD on Broken Stocks?
HD qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -21.6% from its rolling 252-day high of $426.75, set on 2025-09-17 — 337d ago.
Is HD a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. HD is down -21.6% 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 HD 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 HD trading inside its 52-week range?
At $334.49, HD sits 33.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($289.10) to its 52-week high ($426.75). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has HD been declining?
The current 21.6% decline accrued over 337d, which annualizes to roughly -23.4% 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 HD 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% — HD's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does HD'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 (2026-08-18) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
