Questions about UHS
What people ask.
Why is UHS on Broken Stocks?
UHS qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -39.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $246.32, set on 2025-11-26 — 183d ago.
Is UHS a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. UHS is down -39.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 183d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. UHS is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is UHS 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 UHS trading inside its 52-week range?
At $150.12, UHS sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($152.33) to its 52-week high ($246.33). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has UHS been declining?
The current 39.1% decline accrued over 183d, which annualizes to roughly -78.0% 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 UHS compare to its sector?
There are 194 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 88 Red, 47 Amber, 59 Watch, with 108 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.8% — UHS's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does UHS'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 (2026-04-27) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
