Questions about MRTN

What people ask.

Why is MRTN on Broken Stocks?

MRTN qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -20.0% from its rolling 252-day high of $18.42, set on 2026-06-09 — 72d ago.

Is MRTN a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. MRTN is down -20.0% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.

Is MRTN 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 MRTN trading inside its 52-week range?

At $14.73, MRTN sits 88.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($9.35) to its 52-week high ($15.42). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has MRTN been declining?

The current 20.0% decline accrued over 72d, which annualizes to roughly -101.4% 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 MRTN compare to its sector?

There are 151 other Industrials tickers on Broken Stocks: 66 Red, 42 Amber, 43 Watch, with 29 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -30.9% — MRTN's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does MRTN'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 (2026-01-27) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
