Questions about SFM
What people ask.
Why is SFM on Broken Stocks?
SFM qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -48.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $152.25, set on 2025-08-20 — 365d ago.
Is SFM a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. SFM is down -48.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 365d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. SFM is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is SFM 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 SFM trading inside its 52-week range?
At $78.35, SFM sits 15.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($64.75) to its 52-week high ($152.25). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has SFM been declining?
The current 48.5% decline accrued over 365d, which annualizes to roughly -48.5% 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 SFM compare to its sector?
There are 44 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 20 Red, 15 Amber, 9 Watch, with 16 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -31.8% — SFM's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does SFM'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 (2026-07-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
