Questions about HRB
What people ask.
Why is HRB on Broken Stocks?
HRB qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -37.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $56.98, set on 2025-06-04 — 344d ago.
Is HRB a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. HRB is down -37.3% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 344d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. HRB is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is HRB 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 HRB trading inside its 52-week range?
At $35.71, HRB sits 20.7% of the way from its 52-week low ($28.16) to its 52-week high ($64.62). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has HRB been declining?
The current 37.3% decline accrued over 344d, which annualizes to roughly -39.6% 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 HRB compare to its sector?
There are 128 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 60 Red, 42 Amber, 26 Watch, with 19 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.1% — HRB's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does HRB'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 (2026-02-03) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
