LXU qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -38.2% from its rolling 252-day high. Past 30% with the high set inside the last four months — the recency clause that often precedes further breakdown. Depth plus recency: this is the pattern many investors call a falling knife.

Questions about LXU
What people ask.
Why is LXU on Broken Stocks?
LXU qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -38.2% from its rolling 252-day high of $17.22, set on 2026-03-26 — 99d ago.
Is LXU a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. LXU is down -38.2% from its 52-week high of $17.22, set 99d ago. That combination of depth (past the 30% Amber threshold) and recency (high set inside the last 120 days) is the textbook falling-knife pattern. Whether to try to catch it is a separate question — historically most attempts to bottom-pick continue lower before reversing. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.
Is LXU 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 LXU trading inside its 52-week range?
At $10.64, LXU sits 35.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($7.09) to its 52-week high ($17.22). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has LXU been declining?
The current 38.2% decline accrued over 99d, which annualizes to roughly -140.8% 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 LXU 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 -34.5% — LXU's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does LXU'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 (2026-04-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
