Questions about TXN
What people ask.
Why is TXN on Broken Stocks?
TXN qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -21.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $332.33, set on 2026-06-22 — 79d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for TXN?
Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — TXN is still Amber List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is TXN a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. TXN is down -21.3% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.
Is TXN 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 TXN trading inside its 52-week range?
At $261.59, TXN sits 60.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($152.73) to its 52-week high ($334.03). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has TXN been declining?
The current 21.3% decline accrued over 79d, which annualizes to roughly -98.4% 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 TXN compare to its sector?
There are 453 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 294 Red, 94 Amber, 65 Watch, with 51 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -39.7% — TXN's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does TXN'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 (2026-07-22) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
