Questions about CRL
What people ask.
Why is CRL on Broken Stocks?
CRL qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -30.5% from its rolling 252-day high of $228.88, set on 2026-01-13 — 121d ago.
Is CRL a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. CRL is down -30.5% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 121d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. CRL is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is CRL 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 CRL trading inside its 52-week range?
At $159.12, CRL sits 49.1% of the way from its 52-week low ($91.86) to its 52-week high ($228.88). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has CRL been declining?
The current 30.5% decline accrued over 121d, which annualizes to roughly -92.0% 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 CRL compare to its sector?
There are 182 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 93 Red, 42 Amber, 47 Watch, with 55 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.8% — CRL's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does CRL'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 (2026-02-18) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
