The structural read
What price action says about DIN.
DIN qualifies for the Watch on decline depth — down -21.3% from its rolling 252-day high.
Cross-confirmation: also showing 3/5 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: strong alignment, current phase weekly. Last bar types — daily 2U (green), weekly 2U (green), monthly 2U (green).
Earnings on file: 2026-05-06. Tiering is unaffected by earnings dates — listings reflect price structure only.

Questions about DIN
What people ask.
Why is DIN on Broken Stocks?
DIN qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -21.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $39.42, set on 2026-01-15 — 119d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for DIN?
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 — DIN is still Watch 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 DIN a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. DIN is down -21.3% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.
Is DIN 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 DIN trading inside its 52-week range?
At $31.02, DIN sits 57.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($19.52) to its 52-week high ($39.68). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has DIN been declining?
The current 21.3% decline accrued over 119d, which annualizes to roughly -65.3% 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 DIN compare to its sector?
There are 128 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 60 Red, 43 Amber, 25 Watch, with 18 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.3% — DIN's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does DIN'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 (2026-05-06) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
