Questions about WDFC
What people ask.
Why is WDFC on Broken Stocks?
WDFC qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -28.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $297.71, set on 2026-07-10 — 41d ago.
Is WDFC a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. WDFC is down -28.8% 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 WDFC 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 WDFC trading inside its 52-week range?
At $211.92, WDFC sits 46.9% of the way from its 52-week low ($175.38) to its 52-week high ($253.24). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has WDFC been declining?
The current 28.8% decline accrued over 41d, which annualizes to roughly -256.4% 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 WDFC compare to its sector?
There are 58 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 24 Red, 16 Amber, 18 Watch, with 17 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -33.5% — WDFC's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does WDFC'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 (2026-04-09) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
