Questions about NXST
What people ask.
Why is NXST on Broken Stocks?
NXST qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -24.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $249.09, set on 2026-03-05 — 168d ago.
Is NXST a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. NXST is down -24.8% 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 NXST 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 NXST trading inside its 52-week range?
At $187.29, NXST sits 32.9% of the way from its 52-week low ($154.47) to its 52-week high ($254.30). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has NXST been declining?
The current 24.8% decline accrued over 168d, which annualizes to roughly -53.9% 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 NXST compare to its sector?
There are 38 other Communication Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 17 Red, 9 Amber, 12 Watch, with 12 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.0% — NXST's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does NXST'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 (2026-08-06) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
