Questions about HP

What people ask.

Why is HP on Broken Stocks?

HP qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -26.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $41.82, set on 2026-05-19 — 43d ago.

Is HP a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. HP is down -26.1% 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 HP 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 HP trading inside its 52-week range?

At $30.92, HP sits 59.2% of the way from its 52-week low ($15.08) to its 52-week high ($41.82). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has HP been declining?

The current 26.1% decline accrued over 43d, which annualizes to roughly -221.5% 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 HP compare to its sector?

There are 72 other Energy tickers on Broken Stocks: 31 Red, 21 Amber, 20 Watch, with 3 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -25.3% — HP's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does HP'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 (2026-05-06) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
