Questions about WFC

What people ask.

Why is WFC on Broken Stocks?

WFC qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -23.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $96.73, set on 2026-01-05 — 129d ago.

Is WFC a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. WFC is down -23.7% 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 WFC 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 WFC trading inside its 52-week range?

At $73.79, WFC sits 7.3% of the way from its 52-week low ($71.90) to its 52-week high ($97.76). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has WFC been declining?

The current 23.7% decline accrued over 129d, which annualizes to roughly -67.1% 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 WFC compare to its sector?

There are 89 other Financial Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 42 Red, 28 Amber, 19 Watch, with 32 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -32.9% — WFC's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does WFC'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 (2026-07-14) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
