Questions about PBF
What people ask.
Why is PBF on Broken Stocks?
PBF qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -22.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $52.18, set on 2026-03-30 — 45d ago.
Is PBF a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. PBF is down -22.1% 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 PBF 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 PBF trading inside its 52-week range?
At $40.65, PBF sits 66.7% of the way from its 52-week low ($17.53) to its 52-week high ($52.18). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has PBF been declining?
The current 22.1% decline accrued over 45d, which annualizes to roughly -179.3% 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 PBF compare to its sector?
There are 19 other Energy tickers on Broken Stocks: 8 Red, 3 Amber, 8 Watch, with 7 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -28.0% — PBF's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does PBF'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 (2026-04-30) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
