Questions about NXST
What people ask.
Why is NXST on Broken Stocks?
NXST qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -22.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $253.96, set on 2026-03-05 — 70d 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 -22.3% 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 $197.30, NXST sits 47.3% of the way from its 52-week low ($146.06) 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 22.3% decline accrued over 70d, which annualizes to roughly -116.3% 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 33 other Communication Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 22 Red, 7 Amber, 4 Watch, with 7 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -44.8% — 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 (2026-05-07) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
