Questions about ZUMZ
What people ask.
Why is ZUMZ on Broken Stocks?
ZUMZ qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -44.9% from its rolling 252-day high of $31.70, set on 2025-12-08 — 255d ago.
Is ZUMZ a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. ZUMZ is down -44.9% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 255d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. ZUMZ is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is ZUMZ 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 ZUMZ trading inside its 52-week range?
At $17.47, ZUMZ sits 23.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($13.08) to its 52-week high ($31.70). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has ZUMZ been declining?
The current 44.9% decline accrued over 255d, which annualizes to roughly -64.3% 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 ZUMZ compare to its sector?
There are 130 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 53 Red, 50 Amber, 27 Watch, with 35 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -34.0% — ZUMZ's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does ZUMZ'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 (2026-06-04) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
