Questions about RPM

What people ask.

Why is RPM on Broken Stocks?

RPM qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -22.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $127.23, set on 2025-08-22 — 265d ago.

Is RPM a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. RPM is down -22.7% 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 RPM 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 RPM trading inside its 52-week range?

At $98.39, RPM sits 15.1% of the way from its 52-week low ($92.92) to its 52-week high ($129.12). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has RPM been declining?

The current 22.7% decline accrued over 265d, which annualizes to roughly -31.3% 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 RPM compare to its sector?

There are 47 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 18 Red, 6 Amber, 23 Watch, with 12 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -28.8% — RPM's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does RPM'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 (2026-04-08) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
