Questions about HLMN
What people ask.
Why is HLMN on Broken Stocks?
HLMN qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -32.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $10.85, set on 2026-02-05 — 253d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for HLMN?
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 — HLMN is still Amber List because a price-structure rule still triggers, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier reflects the most severe triggered rule; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is HLMN a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. HLMN is down -32.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 253d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. HLMN is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is HLMN 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 HLMN trading inside its 52-week range?
At $7.37, HLMN sits 11.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($6.92) to its 52-week high ($10.85). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has HLMN been declining?
The current 32.1% decline accrued over 253d, which annualizes to roughly -46.3% 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 HLMN compare to its sector?
There are 628 other Industrials tickers on Broken Stocks: 397 Red, 147 Amber, 84 Watch, with 291 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.8% — HLMN's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does HLMN'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 (2026-08-03) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
