Questions about NXST
What people ask.
Why is NXST on Broken Stocks?
NXST qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -33.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $249.09, set on 2026-03-05 — 188d ago.
Is NXST a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. NXST is down -33.8% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 188d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. NXST is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
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 $164.91, NXST sits 10.5% 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 33.8% decline accrued over 188d, which annualizes to roughly -65.6% 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 90 other Communication Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 48 Red, 22 Amber, 20 Watch, with 7 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -38.1% — 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.
