Questions about PFSI
What people ask.
Why is PFSI on Broken Stocks?
PFSI qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -52.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $158.66, set on 2026-01-16 — 216d ago.
Is PFSI a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. PFSI is down -52.3% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 216d 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 $75.74, PFSI sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($77.67) 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 52.3% decline accrued over 216d, which annualizes to roughly -88.4% 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 80 other Financial Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 35 Red, 27 Amber, 18 Watch, with 24 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -32.8% — 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 (2026-07-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
