Questions about ADT

What people ask.

Why is ADT on Broken Stocks?

ADT qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -21.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $8.80, set on 2025-09-15 — 241d ago.

Is ADT a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. ADT is down -21.5% 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 ADT 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 ADT trading inside its 52-week range?

At $6.91, ADT sits 24.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($6.25) to its 52-week high ($8.94). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has ADT been declining?

The current 21.5% decline accrued over 241d, which annualizes to roughly -32.6% 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 ADT compare to its sector?

There are 119 other Industrials tickers on Broken Stocks: 61 Red, 21 Amber, 37 Watch, with 23 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -32.6% — ADT's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does ADT'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 (2026-03-02) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
