Questions about ZUMZ
What people ask.
Why is ZUMZ on Broken Stocks?
ZUMZ qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -25.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $31.70, set on 2025-12-08 — 157d ago.
Is ZUMZ a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. ZUMZ is down -25.5% 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 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 $23.63, ZUMZ sits 60.2% of the way from its 52-week low ($11.41) 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 25.5% decline accrued over 157d, which annualizes to roughly -59.3% 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 128 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 60 Red, 43 Amber, 25 Watch, with 19 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.3% — ZUMZ's decline is shallower 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 (2026-03-12) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
