Questions about LKQ
What people ask.
Why is LKQ on Broken Stocks?
LKQ qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -37.2% from its rolling 252-day high of $41.43, set on 2025-05-16 — 363d ago.
Is LKQ a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. LKQ is down -37.2% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 363d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. LKQ is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is LKQ 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 LKQ trading inside its 52-week range?
At $26.01, LKQ sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($27.23) to its 52-week high ($42.67). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has LKQ been declining?
The current 37.2% decline accrued over 363d, which annualizes to roughly -37.4% 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 LKQ 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% — LKQ's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does LKQ'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 (2026-07-23) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
