Questions about MP
What people ask.
Why is MP on Broken Stocks?
MP qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -39.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $100.25, set on 2025-10-14 — 212d ago.
Is MP a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. MP is down -39.8% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 212d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. MP is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is MP 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 MP trading inside its 52-week range?
At $60.31, MP sits 51.1% of the way from its 52-week low ($18.64) to its 52-week high ($100.25). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has MP been declining?
The current 39.8% decline accrued over 212d, which annualizes to roughly -68.5% 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 MP compare to its sector?
There are 47 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 18 Red, 6 Amber, 23 Watch, with 12 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -28.3% — MP's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does MP'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 (2026-05-07) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
