Questions about STAA
What people ask.
Why is STAA on Broken Stocks?
STAA qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -35.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $35.87, set on 2026-05-14 — 98d ago.
Is STAA a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. STAA is down -35.7% from its 52-week high of $35.87, set 98d ago. That combination of depth (past the 30% Amber threshold) and recency (high set inside the last 120 days) is the textbook falling-knife pattern. Whether to try to catch it is a separate question — historically most attempts to bottom-pick continue lower before reversing. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.
Is STAA 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 STAA trading inside its 52-week range?
At $23.07, STAA sits 36.9% of the way from its 52-week low ($15.59) to its 52-week high ($35.87). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has STAA been declining?
The current 35.7% decline accrued over 98d, which annualizes to roughly -133.0% 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 STAA compare to its sector?
There are 143 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 69 Red, 35 Amber, 39 Watch, with 50 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.1% — STAA's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does STAA'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 (2026-05-13) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
