Questions about DAKT

What people ask.

Why is DAKT on Broken Stocks?

DAKT qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -30.0% from its rolling 252-day high of $28.27, set on 2026-02-26 — 77d ago.

Is DAKT a falling knife?

By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. DAKT is down -30.0% from its 52-week high of $28.27, set 77d ago. That combination of depth (past the 30% Amber threshold) and recency (high set inside the last 120 days) is the textbook falling-knife pattern. Whether to try to catch it is a separate question — historically most attempts to bottom-pick continue lower before reversing. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.

Is DAKT 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 DAKT trading inside its 52-week range?

At $19.80, DAKT sits 44.7% of the way from its 52-week low ($12.96) to its 52-week high ($28.27). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has DAKT been declining?

The current 30.0% decline accrued over 77d, which annualizes to roughly -142.2% 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 DAKT compare to its sector?

There are 172 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 119 Red, 36 Amber, 17 Watch, with 46 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -44.4% — DAKT's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does DAKT'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 (2026-03-04) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
