Questions about HWKN

What people ask.

Why is HWKN on Broken Stocks?

HWKN qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -35.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $185.12, set on 2025-10-06 — 318d ago.

Is HWKN a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. HWKN is down -35.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 318d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. HWKN is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is HWKN 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 HWKN trading inside its 52-week range?

At $119.51, HWKN sits 2.2% of the way from its 52-week low ($117.98) to its 52-week high ($186.15). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has HWKN been declining?

The current 35.5% decline accrued over 318d, which annualizes to roughly -40.7% 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 HWKN compare to its sector?

There are 58 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 24 Red, 16 Amber, 18 Watch, with 17 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -33.5% — HWKN's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does HWKN'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 (2026-07-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
