Questions about UVV

What people ask.

Why is UVV on Broken Stocks?

UVV qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -20.9% from its rolling 252-day high of $57.51, set on 2026-02-05 — 207d ago.

Is UVV a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. UVV is down -20.9% 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 UVV 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 UVV trading inside its 52-week range?

At $45.50, UVV sits 6.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($44.54) to its 52-week high ($59.38). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has UVV been declining?

The current 20.9% decline accrued over 207d, which annualizes to roughly -36.9% 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 UVV compare to its sector?

There are 46 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 23 Red, 12 Amber, 11 Watch, with 12 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -33.2% — UVV's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does UVV'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 (2026-08-05) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
