Questions about MAT
What people ask.
Why is MAT on Broken Stocks?
MAT qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -32.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $22.48, set on 2026-02-10 — 93d ago.
Is MAT a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. MAT is down -32.8% from its 52-week high of $22.48, set 93d 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 MAT 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 MAT trading inside its 52-week range?
At $15.11, MAT sits 13.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($13.95) to its 52-week high ($22.48). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has MAT been declining?
The current 32.8% decline accrued over 93d, which annualizes to roughly -128.7% 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 MAT compare to its sector?
There are 128 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 59 Red, 43 Amber, 26 Watch, with 19 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.3% — MAT's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does MAT'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 (2026-02-10) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
