Questions about HL
What people ask.
Why is HL on Broken Stocks?
HL qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -46.2% from its rolling 252-day high of $34.16, set on 2026-01-26 — 202d ago.
Is HL a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. HL is down -46.2% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 202d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. HL is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is HL 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 HL trading inside its 52-week range?
At $18.37, HL sits 44.7% of the way from its 52-week low ($5.62) to its 52-week high ($34.17). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has HL been declining?
The current 46.2% decline accrued over 202d, which annualizes to roughly -83.5% 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 HL compare to its sector?
There are 57 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 25 Red, 9 Amber, 23 Watch, with 22 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -31.0% — HL's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does HL'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 (2026-08-04) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
