Questions about SCVL

What people ask.

Why is SCVL on Broken Stocks?

SCVL qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -34.4% from its rolling 252-day high of $26.57, set on 2025-09-05 — 349d ago.

Is SCVL a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. SCVL is down -34.4% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 349d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. SCVL is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is SCVL 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 SCVL trading inside its 52-week range?

At $17.43, SCVL sits 21.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($14.91) to its 52-week high ($26.57). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has SCVL been declining?

The current 34.4% decline accrued over 349d, which annualizes to roughly -36.0% 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 SCVL compare to its sector?

There are 130 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 54 Red, 49 Amber, 27 Watch, with 35 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -34.0% — SCVL's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does SCVL'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 (2026-05-21) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
