Questions about WWD

What people ask.

Why is WWD on Broken Stocks?

WWD qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -25.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $450.52, set on 2026-06-25 — 76d ago.

Is WWD a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. WWD is down -25.1% 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 WWD 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 WWD trading inside its 52-week range?

At $337.66, WWD sits 48.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($233.31) to its 52-week high ($450.92). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has WWD been declining?

The current 25.1% decline accrued over 76d, which annualizes to roughly -120.5% 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 WWD compare to its sector?

There are 368 other Industrials tickers on Broken Stocks: 211 Red, 75 Amber, 82 Watch, with 40 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.6% — WWD's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does WWD'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 (2026-07-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
