Questions about QS
What people ask.
Why is QS on Broken Stocks?
QS qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -70.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $19.07, set on 2025-10-15 — 309d ago.
Is QS a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. QS is down -70.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 309d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. QS is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is QS 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 QS trading inside its 52-week range?
At $5.70, QS sits 6.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($4.77) to its 52-week high ($19.07). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has QS been declining?
The current 70.1% decline accrued over 309d, which annualizes to roughly -82.8% 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 QS compare to its sector?
There are 130 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 53 Red, 50 Amber, 27 Watch, with 35 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -34.0% — QS's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does QS'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 (2026-07-22) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
