Questions about QLYS
What people ask.
Why is QLYS on Broken Stocks?
QLYS qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -25.4% from its rolling 252-day high of $201.54, set on 2026-08-05 — 39d ago.
Is QLYS a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. QLYS is down -25.4% 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 QLYS 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 QLYS trading inside its 52-week range?
At $150.28, QLYS sits 93.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($74.51) to its 52-week high ($155.47). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has QLYS been declining?
The current 25.4% decline accrued over 39d, which annualizes to roughly -237.7% 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 QLYS compare to its sector?
There are 414 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 275 Red, 82 Amber, 57 Watch, with 82 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -39.7% — QLYS's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does QLYS'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.
