Questions about AAP
What people ask.
Why is AAP on Broken Stocks?
AAP qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -27.9% from its rolling 252-day high of $68.94, set on 2025-07-24 — 294d ago.
Is AAP a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. AAP is down -27.9% 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 AAP 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 AAP trading inside its 52-week range?
At $49.71, AAP sits 48.7% of the way from its 52-week low ($30.48) to its 52-week high ($70.00). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has AAP been declining?
The current 27.9% decline accrued over 294d, which annualizes to roughly -34.6% 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 AAP compare to its sector?
There are 128 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 60 Red, 42 Amber, 26 Watch, with 19 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.3% — AAP's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does AAP'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 (2026-02-13) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
