Questions about UPWK
What people ask.
Why is UPWK on Broken Stocks?
UPWK qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -62.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $22.84, set on 2026-01-26 — 206d ago.
Is UPWK a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. UPWK is down -62.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 206d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. UPWK is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is UPWK 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 UPWK trading inside its 52-week range?
At $8.66, UPWK sits 7.9% of the way from its 52-week low ($7.44) to its 52-week high ($22.84). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has UPWK been declining?
The current 62.1% decline accrued over 206d, which annualizes to roughly -110.0% 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 UPWK compare to its sector?
There are 38 other Communication Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 16 Red, 9 Amber, 13 Watch, with 12 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -33.0% — UPWK's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does UPWK'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 (2026-08-10) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
