The structural read

What price action says about CALM.

CALM qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth — down -35.1% 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: moderate alignment, current phase weekly. Last bar types — daily 2U (red), weekly 3 (green), monthly 1 (green).

Earnings on file: 2026-04-01. Tiering is unaffected by earnings dates — listings reflect price structure only.

Questions about CALM

What people ask.

Why is CALM on Broken Stocks?

CALM qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -35.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $120.12, set on 2025-07-23 — 295d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.

What does the Recovering badge mean for CALM?

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 — CALM 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 CALM a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. CALM is down -35.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 295d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. CALM is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is CALM 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 CALM trading inside its 52-week range?

At $78.01, CALM sits 11.2% of the way from its 52-week low ($71.92) to its 52-week high ($126.40). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has CALM been declining?

The current 35.1% decline accrued over 295d, which annualizes to roughly -43.4% 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 CALM compare to its sector?

There are 47 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 28 Red, 12 Amber, 7 Watch, with 10 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.4% — CALM's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does CALM'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 (2026-04-01) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
