Questions about STEP
What people ask.
Why is STEP on Broken Stocks?
STEP qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -35.6% from its rolling 252-day high of $75.89, set on 2026-01-16 — 216d ago.
Is STEP a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. STEP is down -35.6% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 216d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. STEP is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is STEP 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 STEP trading inside its 52-week range?
At $48.84, STEP sits 25.7% of the way from its 52-week low ($38.85) to its 52-week high ($77.80). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has STEP been declining?
The current 35.6% decline accrued over 216d, which annualizes to roughly -60.2% 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 STEP compare to its sector?
There are 80 other Financial Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 36 Red, 26 Amber, 18 Watch, with 24 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -32.8% — STEP's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does STEP'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 (2026-08-06) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
