Questions about PFSI

What people ask.

Why is PFSI on Broken Stocks?

PFSI qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -45.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $159.27, set on 2026-01-16 — 132d ago.

Is PFSI a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. PFSI is down -45.8% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 132d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. PFSI is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is PFSI 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 PFSI trading inside its 52-week range?

At $86.38, PFSI sits 4.8% of the way from its 52-week low ($82.65) to its 52-week high ($160.36). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has PFSI been declining?

The current 45.8% decline accrued over 132d, which annualizes to roughly -126.6% 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 PFSI compare to its sector?

There are 104 other Financial Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 49 Red, 35 Amber, 20 Watch, with 40 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -34.0% — PFSI's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does PFSI'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 (2026-05-05) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
