Questions about KRO

What people ask.

Why is KRO on Broken Stocks?

KRO qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -23.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $7.83, set on 2026-05-04 — 60d ago.

Is KRO a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. KRO is down -23.8% 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 KRO 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 KRO trading inside its 52-week range?

At $5.97, KRO sits 49.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($4.08) to its 52-week high ($7.89). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has KRO been declining?

The current 23.8% decline accrued over 60d, which annualizes to roughly -144.8% 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 KRO compare to its sector?

There are 72 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 36 Red, 21 Amber, 15 Watch, with 30 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.5% — KRO's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does KRO'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.
