The structural read
What price action says about QMCO.
QMCO qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -42.6% from its rolling 252-day high. Past the 40% threshold, the deepest tier in the taxonomy.
Cross-confirmation: also showing 4/5 bearish time frames.
Alongside that decline, our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames — moderate or strong time-frame-continuity (TFC) alignment — so the ticker also carries a Recovering badge. The two readings coexist: the tier tells you how deep the damage is, the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. Recovering is not a buy signal; it's a structural read.
Upstream TFC read: moderate alignment, current phase monthly. Last bar types — daily 2D (green), weekly 1 (red), monthly 2U (green).
Earnings on file: 2026-02-17. Tiering is unaffected by earnings dates — listings reflect price structure only.

Questions about QMCO
What people ask.
Why is QMCO on Broken Stocks?
QMCO qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -42.6% from its rolling 252-day high of $15.33, set on 2025-10-07 — 219d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for QMCO?
Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — QMCO is still Red List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is QMCO a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. QMCO is down -42.6% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 219d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. QMCO is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is QMCO 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 QMCO trading inside its 52-week range?
At $8.80, QMCO sits 41.4% of the way from its 52-week low ($4.19) to its 52-week high ($15.33). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has QMCO been declining?
The current 42.6% decline accrued over 219d, which annualizes to roughly -71.0% 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 QMCO compare to its sector?
There are 172 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 118 Red, 36 Amber, 18 Watch, with 45 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -44.4% — QMCO's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does QMCO'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 (2026-02-17) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
