Questions about MRCY
What people ask.
Why is MRCY on Broken Stocks?
MRCY qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -37.4% from its rolling 252-day high of $128.45, set on 2026-07-06 — 66d ago.
Is MRCY a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. MRCY is down -37.4% from its 52-week high of $128.45, set 66d 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 MRCY 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 MRCY trading inside its 52-week range?
At $80.43, MRCY sits 60.9% of the way from its 52-week low ($44.01) to its 52-week high ($103.84). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has MRCY been declining?
The current 37.4% decline accrued over 66d, which annualizes to roughly -206.8% 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 MRCY compare to its sector?
There are 393 other Industrials tickers on Broken Stocks: 229 Red, 84 Amber, 80 Watch, with 34 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.8% — MRCY's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does MRCY'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 (2026-05-05) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
