Structural break signals
ARES qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth.
The structural read
What price action says about ARES.
ARES qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth — down -32.4% from its rolling 252-day high.
Cross-confirmation: also showing 4/5 bearish time frames.
Alongside that decline, our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames — moderate or strong time-frame-continuity (TFC) alignment — so the ticker also carries a Recovering badge. The two readings coexist: the tier tells you how deep the damage is, the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. Recovering is not a buy signal; it's a structural read.
Upstream TFC read: strong alignment, current phase weekly. Last bar types — daily 2U (green), weekly 2U (green), monthly 2U (green).
Earnings on file: 2026-05-01. Tiering is unaffected by earnings dates — listings reflect price structure only.

Questions about ARES
What people ask.
Why is ARES on Broken Stocks?
ARES qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -32.4% from its rolling 252-day high of $190.20, set on 2025-08-13 — 274d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for ARES?
Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — ARES is still Amber List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is ARES a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. ARES is down -32.4% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 274d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. ARES is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is ARES 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 ARES trading inside its 52-week range?
At $128.53, ARES sits 32.9% of the way from its 52-week low ($95.80) to its 52-week high ($195.26). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has ARES been declining?
The current 32.4% decline accrued over 274d, which annualizes to roughly -43.2% 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 ARES compare to its sector?
There are 89 other Financial Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 42 Red, 28 Amber, 19 Watch, with 31 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -32.9% — ARES's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does ARES'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 (2026-05-01) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
