RPC qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -34.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $12.93, set on 2025-08-08 — 279d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.

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 — RPC 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.

Not by the strict technical definition. RPC is down -34.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 279d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. RPC is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

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.

At $8.52, RPC sits 27.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($6.79) to its 52-week high ($13.08). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

The current 34.1% decline accrued over 279d, which annualizes to roughly -44.6% 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.

There are 89 other Financial Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 41 Red, 29 Amber, 19 Watch, with 31 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -32.8% — RPC's decline is deeper than the sector median.
