Q: Why is SFM on Broken Stocks?

SFM qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down 52.4% from its rolling 252-day high of 182.00 set on 2025-06-03, 359 days ago. Tiering is rules-based and reflects price action only — not company quality, management, or fundamentals.

Q: Is SFM a falling knife?

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. Tiering is rules-based and reflects price action only — not company quality, management, or fundamentals.
