Questions about BSX
What people ask.
Why is BSX on Broken Stocks?
BSX qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -51.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $109.50, set on 2025-09-09 — 247d ago.
Is BSX a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. BSX is down -51.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 247d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. BSX is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is BSX 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 BSX trading inside its 52-week range?
At $53.55, BSX sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($54.98) to its 52-week high ($109.50). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has BSX been declining?
The current 51.1% decline accrued over 247d, which annualizes to roughly -75.5% 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 BSX compare to its sector?
There are 182 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 92 Red, 43 Amber, 47 Watch, with 55 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.8% — BSX's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does BSX'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 (2026-07-29) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
