Questions about CAL

What people ask.

Why is CAL on Broken Stocks?

CAL qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -37.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $17.74, set on 2025-05-16 — 363d ago.

Is CAL a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. CAL is down -37.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 363d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. CAL is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is CAL 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 CAL trading inside its 52-week range?

At $11.15, CAL sits 24.8% of the way from its 52-week low ($8.80) to its 52-week high ($18.27). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has CAL been declining?

The current 37.1% decline accrued over 363d, which annualizes to roughly -37.3% 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 CAL 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 -35.1% — CAL's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does CAL'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 (2026-03-19) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
