Questions about TTD

What people ask.

Why is TTD on Broken Stocks?

TTD qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -77.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $55.11, set on 2025-10-24 — 357d ago.

Is TTD a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. TTD is down -77.8% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 357d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. TTD is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is TTD 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 TTD trading inside its 52-week range?

At $12.23, TTD sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($12.83) to its 52-week high ($56.39). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has TTD been declining?

The current 77.8% decline accrued over 357d, which annualizes to roughly -79.5% 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 TTD compare to its sector?

There are 132 other Communication Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 98 Red, 24 Amber, 10 Watch, with 59 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.6% — TTD's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does TTD's earnings date affect its tier?

No. Tiering uses decline depth and recency, bearish time-frame structure, and decline sigma. 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.
