Questions about FLO

What people ask.

Why is FLO on Broken Stocks?

FLO qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -54.2% from its rolling 252-day high of $15.95, set on 2025-05-14 — 365d ago.

Is FLO a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. FLO is down -54.2% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 365d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. FLO is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is FLO 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 FLO trading inside its 52-week range?

At $7.31, FLO sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($7.86) to its 52-week high ($18.83). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has FLO been declining?

The current 54.2% decline accrued over 365d, which annualizes to roughly -54.2% 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 FLO compare to its sector?

There are 47 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 27 Red, 13 Amber, 7 Watch, with 11 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.1% — FLO's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does FLO'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 (2026-02-12) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
