Questions about KSS
What people ask.
Why is KSS on Broken Stocks?
KSS qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -37.2% from its rolling 252-day high of $24.84, set on 2025-12-01 — 178d ago.
Is KSS a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. KSS is down -37.2% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 178d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. KSS is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is KSS 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 KSS trading inside its 52-week range?
At $15.59, KSS sits 49.8% of the way from its 52-week low ($6.04) to its 52-week high ($25.22). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has KSS been declining?
The current 37.2% decline accrued over 178d, which annualizes to roughly -76.3% 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 KSS compare to its sector?
There are 132 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 50 Red, 40 Amber, 42 Watch, with 84 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -33.8% — KSS's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does KSS'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 (2026-03-10) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
