Questions about STEP

What people ask.

Why is STEP on Broken Stocks?

STEP qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -35.2% from its rolling 252-day high of $77.33, set on 2026-01-16 — 132d ago.

Is STEP a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. STEP is down -35.2% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 132d 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 $50.09, STEP sits 26.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($40.07) 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 35.2% decline accrued over 132d, which annualizes to roughly -97.3% 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 104 other Financial Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 50 Red, 34 Amber, 20 Watch, with 40 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -34.0% — 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 (2026-02-05) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
