Questions about VTS
What people ask.
Why is VTS on Broken Stocks?
VTS qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -31.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $25.28, set on 2025-08-27 — 274d ago.
Is VTS a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. VTS is down -31.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 274d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. VTS is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is VTS 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 VTS trading inside its 52-week range?
At $17.31, VTS sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($17.44) to its 52-week high ($27.15). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has VTS been declining?
The current 31.5% decline accrued over 274d, which annualizes to roughly -42.0% 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 VTS compare to its sector?
There are 20 other Energy tickers on Broken Stocks: 10 Red, 5 Amber, 5 Watch, with 5 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -31.8% — VTS's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does VTS'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 (2026-03-02) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
