QXO qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -36.0% from its rolling 252-day high. Past 30% with the high set inside the last four months — the recency clause that often precedes further breakdown. Depth plus recency: this is the pattern many investors call a falling knife.

Questions about QXO
What people ask.
Why is QXO on Broken Stocks?
QXO qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -36.0% from its rolling 252-day high of $27.61, set on 2026-02-18 — 99d ago.
Is QXO a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. QXO is down -36.0% from its 52-week high of $27.61, set 99d ago. That combination of depth (past the 30% Amber threshold) and recency (high set inside the last 120 days) is the textbook falling-knife pattern. Whether to try to catch it is a separate question — historically most attempts to bottom-pick continue lower before reversing. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.
Is QXO 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 QXO trading inside its 52-week range?
At $17.68, QXO sits 18.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($15.50) to its 52-week high ($27.61). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has QXO been declining?
The current 36.0% decline accrued over 99d, which annualizes to roughly -132.7% 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 QXO compare to its sector?
There are 137 other Industrials tickers on Broken Stocks: 56 Red, 34 Amber, 47 Watch, with 83 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -30.7% — QXO's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does QXO'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 (2026-05-12) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
